Key Responsibilities

  • •Build and own Fluidstack's early careers function from scratch — design 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.

Key Requirements

  • •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.
