Expert in enterprise data modeling (Kimball, Data Vault, or hybrid) and semantic modeling best practices
Deep experience designing and operating scalable data lakes or Lakehouses (Iceberg, Delta Lake, or Hudi)
Strong knowledge of MPP and OLAP systems such as StarRocks, Snowflake, BigQuery, or Redshift

Evaluate and standardize tools for data cataloging, modeling, and metadata management
Mentor senior engineers and lead architectural reviews of data-intensive projects

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.
