Job Description

ABOUT FLUIDSTACK

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it.

We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack. We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI.

We hire people who care deeply about this problem space. If that is you, please apply!

## How We Operate

- Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done. - Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible. - First principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins. - Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

## Role Scope

- Draft, review, and negotiate the commercial agreements the company signs weekly: customer contracts, supplier agreements, NDAs, and service terms. - Own transactions end to end, from first draft to signature, coordinating outside counsel where it is genuinely needed. - Advise business teams directly, turning legal risk into a plain-English recommendation and a next step. - Build the templates and playbooks that let the business self-serve on repeat paper.

## What We're Looking For

The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/fluidstack/05c2e69c-42f9-4fcb-9cf0-a467aaf98f1c.

- You've independently drafted and negotiated commercial contracts against sophisticated counterparties. - You give answers, not memos: business teams leave your reviews knowing what to do. - You've run your own deal load, in-house or in practice, with minimal supervision. - You know when a point is worth fighting and when speed is worth more than the clause. - You hold a law license in good standing in a relevant jurisdiction.

Bonus: Data center, energy, or infrastructure transactions. A mix of firm and in-house experience. Procurement and supply agreements. Using AI tools in legal work.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
