Lab Technician, Fluidstack Labs

How We Operate

• Be a barrel. Full autonomy. Own things end to end, take on scope without being asked, no permission required to operate outside your core role.
• Insane urgency. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.
• Reason from 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.
• Build something that actually matters. If you're going to spend your time, spend it on something that matters to the world.

Examples of key problems the team is working on

• Qualify the hardware the frontier runs on before it runs anywhere else. First samples of next-generation accelerators, switches, storage, and liquid cooling land here, and leave as production-ready platforms with runbooks the whole fleet inherits.
• Compress silicon-to-production to weeks. The lab closes the gap between vendor sample and customer-ready gigawatt infrastructure, and every week cut here pulls the entire deployment curve forward.
• Run the lab like a production site. Provisioning, telemetry, demand management, and liquid cooling mirror production architecture exactly, so a qualification pass in the lab is a deployment guarantee in the field.
• Prove the power envelope nobody else will touch. Dynamic demand management lets AI compute deploy beyond nominal electrical capacity, and the lab validates the full detection-to-shutdown response chain that makes it safe.

Role Scope

• Own the lab floor: rack-and-stack execution, structured copper and fiber cabling, hardware installs and swaps, and part replacement on first-sample compute, network, and storage platforms, keeping asset records accurate through every change.
• Receive and inventory every piece of equipment through the lab, handle RMAs end to end, and document installations and change activity physically and photographically so the record matches the floor.
• Provide smart-hands support for remote engineering teams and hardware partners: cabling diagnosis and replacement, component reseats and swaps, console access, and the on-the-floor eyes that unblock a remote debug session.
• Support liquid cooling work alongside deployment engineering, including CDU manifold connections and visual leak inspection, with the floor discipline that high-density liquid-cooled racks demand.
• Act as first point of contact for facility-floor issues, escalating to the lab's technical leads, and escort vendors and partners during on-site visits while keeping their equipment, access, and confidentiality boundaries clean.

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

• You've deployed and supported server and network hardware in a live data center or hardware lab: racked it, cabled it, fixed it, and kept it running.
• You troubleshoot server hardware deeply: POST, BIOS, PXE, IPMI, BMC, and component-level repair.
• You know network fundamentals (TCP/IP, Ethernet) and hardware (switches, routers, copper and fiber) well enough to diagnose physical-layer faults yourself.
• You work comfortably in Linux for hands-on diagnosis and recovery at the console.
• Asset records, labels, and documentation are habits for you: what's on the floor always matches what's in the system.
• You've worked around unreleased or partner-owned hardware, or you're comfortable doing so, treating what you see and touch as confidential.
• Bonus: GPU server fleets. Hyperscale or high-density AI infrastructure. Liquid-cooled systems. Scripting (Python, Bash). Structured cabling.

Salary & Benefits

• Competitive total compensation package (salary + equity).
• Retirement or pension plan, in line with local norms.
• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Generous PTO policy, in line with local norms.

We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
