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.

Overview
We are hiring a Decision Engineering Team Lead for the Infrastructure Development & Delivery team. You'll lead a small team of Decision Engineers (AI Software Engineers) building AI-powered tools and decision systems that make infrastructure development and delivery workflows significantly more productive, while still shipping hands‑on. You'll set technical direction, own the team's delivery bar, grow engineers, and partner with leadership to pick the highest‑impact AI augmentation bets.
Responsibilities
Lead a small team of Decision Engineers, setting technical direction and owning the bar for what ships
Still build hands‑on: personally ship the highest‑leverage AI tools and agents for infrastructure development and delivery workflows
Own the team's delivery: identify the highest‑impact AI augmentation opportunities across infrastructure development and delivery workflows and turn them into shipped tools with measurable productivity gains
Design and maintain shared AI infrastructure including AGENTS.md and SKILLS.md, and shared skills the wider organization builds on
Grow the engineers on your team through review, direction, and hiring
Partner with team and functional leadership to translate their goals into an AI tooling roadmap
Requirements
7+ years of software engineering experience with 2+ years leading a team while still coding
Track record shipping production systems and internal tools that operational teams rely on
Production‑grade code in Go, Python, and TypeScript, with strong full‑stack skills building web applications (React, Next.js, or similar frameworks)
Hands‑on experience building applications with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, or open‑weight models), creating and using MCP servers, and agentic frameworks
Deep understanding of AI coding agent tools including Claude Code and Cursor, and the agent frameworks around them
Technical depth to review architecture and unblock engineers, not just manage
Ownership mentality: you can define a roadmap and execute without heavy process support
Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical concepts for non‑technical stakeholders
Nice to have: experience at a fast‑scaling automation, robotics, or infrastructure software company
Benefits
Competitive total compensation package (cash + equity)
Health, dental, and vision insurance
Retirement plan
Generous PTO policy
We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
