About the role

Senior level role building and scaling CoreWeave's Kubernetes-native research cluster platform and sandbox infrastructure to enable large-scale AI training workloads for customers.

Responsibilities

  • Contribute to the roadmap for Applied Training — figure out what actually unlocks new workloads and what's just nice to have
  • Work directly and closely with customers, and other teams inside CoreWeave that are building cloud native primitives: compute, storage, networking, etc.
  • For the research cluster platform: design and build a complete research cluster experience — CLI, job configuration schema, Kubernetes operators, daemons — solving the problems researchers actually hit: code distribution, checkpoint-triggered evaluation, cross-cluster scheduling, programmatic job control
  • For sandbox infrastructure: own the Python SDK and work in a tight loop with the backend team, enabling RL training runs to spawn thousands of isolated containers for agent rollouts and agent benchmarks at scale
  • Write documentation for running popular OSS training frameworks on CoreWeave to unblock customers and help them succeed
  • Work with infrastructure teams and customers directly — the customers are large AI labs running thousands of GPUs; understand how they structure their internal supercomputing stacks and bring that knowledge back to what we build

Qualifications

  • 8–12+ years building distributed systems, ML infrastructure, or developer platforms
  • Real Kubernetes experience: custom controllers, operators, scheduling, CRDs, workload orchestration at scale — not just deploying things to Kubernetes or cluster administration
  • You understand what makes researchers productive: code distribution matters, fast iteration cycles matter, workflows that don't require becoming infrastructure experts matter
  • Familiarity with training: how distributed jobs get scheduled, how ranks initialize, what breaks at scale
  • You've shipped infrastructure that other people rely on daily — not prototypes, production systems
  • Strong communicator who can work with customers and translate researcher complaints into system designs
