About the job

About Fluidstack

Fluidstack is at the forefront of building infrastructure that powers abundant intelligence. We collaborate with leading AI laboratories, governmental entities, and enterprises such as Mistral, Poolside, Black Forest Labs, and Meta, aiming to unlock compute capabilities at unparalleled speeds.

Our mission is urgent: to transform AGI from concept to reality. Our team is driven, dedicated, and focused on delivering top-tier infrastructure. We take our customers' outcomes personally, valuing the systems we create and the trust we build. If you are passionate about purpose, strive for excellence, and are ready to work diligently to expedite the future of intelligence, we welcome you to join us in shaping what’s next.

About the Role

We are looking for a Lead, Network Connectivity & Strategy who will take complete ownership of our external connectivity strategy, overseeing everything from developing carrier relationships and procuring circuits to supporting site selection, forecasting capacity, and collaborating on backbone fiber optic topology. You will ensure that every Fluidstack datacenter, whether new or existing, has diverse, resilient, and timely connectivity, all while ensuring our backbone network scales in anticipation of future demand.

This position intersects network engineering, infrastructure planning, and commercial execution. You will work closely with deployment teams to secure the essential connectivity foundations they require, collaborate with ICT and outside plant teams on fiber path designs, and engage directly with carriers and dark fiber providers to negotiate and deliver services within tight timelines.

Your success will mean that Fluidstack is never held back by connectivity. Each time a new datacenter build is ready for service, diverse fiber paths will already be operational. When leadership inquires about potential new locations, you will have the connectivity landscape mapped out within days. When the backbone team needs a new Point of Presence (POP), you'll have identified candidate locations and provider options in advance.
