Company mission
CoreWeave's mission is to deliver a massive scale of GPU compute resources on top of the industry’s fastest and most flexible infrastructure.
Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for a thoughtful leader who blends technical depth with strategic vision, and thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments
- If you value clarity over complexity, mentorship over management, and resilience over rigidity, you’ll fit right in
- Bachelor’s degrees in Computer Science, Engineering, or related fields
- 10+ years of engineering leadership roles within SRE, DevOps, or cloud infrastructure
- 5+ years in managing large-scale infrastructure-as-service in a geographically distributed, always-on environment
- Proven success leading 24x7 operations teams and delivering high-availability services at scale.
- Deep expertise in automation, monitoring/observabilities, and incident response frameworks
- Familiarity with AI purpose-built cloud-native architectures, CI/CD systems, and performance tuning
Desirable
- Hands-on experience with Python, Go, Java, or Ruby for operational tooling and automation
- Strong track record of hiring, mentoring, and developing top-tier SRE talent in high-growth companies.
- Comfortable navigating cross-functional dynamics and influencing leadership across engineering, product, and support
- Experience leading DevOps and reliability transformation projects, improving developer velocity and platform resilience
What the job involves
- As we continue to scale the CoreWeave Cloud Platform, ensuring reliability, performance, and operational efficiency in a live production environment is mission-critical
- We’re seeking a Director of Production Engineering to lead and expand our SRE team and practices
- This leader will play a key role in shaping the resilience and reliability of our platform, partnering closely with engineering and product teams to build systems and services that are secure, scalable, and highly efficient
- You will champion a culture of operational excellence, automation, and ownership, empowering our cloud platform to scale confidently and operate with agility
- Define and execute the SRE vision, strategy, and roadmap for a large-scale, distributed cloud infrastructure
- Lead and mentor a high-performing team of SREs, promoting a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous learning
- Champion automation-first practices, leveraging tools like Terraform, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure-as-Code to minimize toil and manual interventions
- Establish and evolve best practices in observability, monitoring, and alerting, ensuring the platform is proactive, not reactive
- Drive initiatives for incident management, postmortem culture, root cause analysis, and system hardening
- Collaborate with engineering, product, and customer support teams to build scalable, resilient, and self-healing systems
- Evolve our on-call strategy and processes to support a 24x7, globally distributed platform with minimal disruptions
Our take
Many cloud service providers can suffer from slow prediction speeds when they are used for data modeling. CoreWeave solves this problem with its specialized cloud service provider.
CoreWeave reduces prediction times and makes service requests faster and more efficient. This, in turn, cuts cloud costs considerably. This has proven to be a strong draw for many companies, with CoreWeave signing a lucrative partnership with GPU heavyweight NVIDIA as well as partnering with BitOoda, which has allowed it to expand its operations to the financial market.
However, in 2023 it closed three very significant rounds of funding (Series B and debt and secondary extensions), which is being invested into expanding its US-based data centers, opening two new ones in the coming year. The question remains whether, despite 2023's big investments in the sector, CoreWeave can maintain this momentum and whether generative AI's stock will continue to rise.
