Early Careers Talent Acquisition Lead

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

• High 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

• Build and own Fluidstack's early careers function from scratch — designing the strategy, standing up the infrastructure, and running full-cycle recruiting for intern and new graduate roles across technical and non-technical teams.
• Develop and execute a university recruiting strategy: identify target schools, build relationships with faculty and student organizations, and establish Fluidstack's brand on campuses where the best early-career talent is concentrated.
• Build and drive adoption of early careers programs: Partner with TA, Compensation, and TA Ops to co-design internship and new graduate programs — and own getting them embedded and adopted across the business, not just built.
• Plan and execute on-campus and virtual recruiting events with a focus on early engagement, education, and brand — making Fluidstack a name the most ambitious students seek out, not one we have to chase.
• Screen with a high bar: assess potential, intellectual horsepower, and mission alignment — not just credentials. Early-career hiring is a long-term bet; you'll have the judgment to make it well.
• Operate as a data-driven function: track pipeline health, conversion rates, offer acceptance, and source quality across programs, and use that data to continuously sharpen strategy and report to leadership.
• Build the long-term early talent pipeline: Design the hiring infrastructure — rubrics, evaluation frameworks, and program playbooks — that creates a sustainable funnel of exceptional early talent to support department growth as Fluidstack scales.
• Conduct research and identify the top programs in the US, alongside the specific departments suited for our needs and develop engagement programs for both intern and full time opportunities

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• 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 built or significantly scaled a university recruiting program and can point to specific outcomes — schools entered, pipelines built, conversion rates improved.
• You think in programs, not reqs. You design for the long term: brand, relationships, and pipelines that compound over time, not just this semester's headcount.
• You hold an uncompromising bar for early talent. You know the difference between a strong GPA and genuine potential, and you evaluate accordingly.
• You're a builder who creates structure from ambiguity — you don't need a playbook to hand you, you write it.
• You measure what matters (pipeline conversion, source quality, intern-to-FTE conversion) and use it to make better decisions, not just report activity.
• Bonus: University recruiting in AI, infrastructure, or deep-technical markets. Experience building early careers programs at high-growth or zero-to-one companies. Employer brand strategy for campus. Willingness to travel during peak recruiting cycles.
