Senior Specialist Field Engineer - Compute Infrastructure

About the role

The Field Engineering organization at CoreWeave is dedicated to ensuring every customer running AI workloads at scale has a seamless, reliable, and high-performance experience. This team supports the infrastructure that powers the AI revolution—working across data centers, hardware systems, and customer workloads to maintain the integrity of our cloud platform. Field Engineering aligns closely with internal and customer engineering teams, offering valuable insights from the field and the chance to shape the CoreWeave product roadmap and development.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical path from facility and rack design to a validated, production-ready supercomputer—spanning logical design, infrastructure engineering, provisioning, validation, operations, and support.
• Lead bring-up and acceptance of new large-scale GPU clusters, driving InfiniBand/RoCE fabric validation, HPC performance benchmarking (e.g., NCCL, ib_write_bw), and remediation of fabric, optics, firmware, and node-level issues to meet customer performance targets.
• Define and operationalize models for managing customer bare-metal fleets at rack-level-and-up—IT service, break-fix, network and firmware management—including Bare Metal as a Service (BMaaS) and customer self-service patterns.
• Partner with Data Center Operations, Fleet Operations, and Networking teams to align facility, hardware, and fabric readiness with customer go-live timelines and operational SLAs.
• Review and advise on customer-facing technical contract terms, including service scope, operational responsibilities, SLAs, isolation requirements, and support boundaries.
• Drive technical leadership and direction during customer meetings, presentations, and workshops, addressing any technical queries or concerns that arise.
• Offer valuable insights on product features, functionality, and performance, contributing regularly to discussions about product strategy and architecture.
• Stay informed of the latest developments and trends in Kubernetes, cloud computing and infrastructure, sharing your thought leadership with customers and internal stakeholders.
• Lead the prototyping and initiation of research and development efforts for emerging products and solutions, delivering prototypes and key insights for internal consumption.
• Represent CoreWeave at conferences and industry events, with occasional travel as required.
