The team partners closely with Product, Engineering, Research, Infrastructure, and Go-to-Market teams to deliver scalable, reliable, and high-performance platforms that support the full AI lifecycle.

Responsibilities

• Drive end-to-end program execution for performance and benchmarking initiatives spanning infrastructure validation, performance testing, benchmark execution, observability, and launch readiness.
• Partner with engineering and infrastructure teams to deliver programs that verify new hardware platforms, clusters, and software environments meet CoreWeave standards for performance and stability.
• Operationalize benchmarking frameworks that measure model performance, runtime efficiency, GPU utilization, and workload reliability across environments.
• Coordinate dependencies across platform engineering, infrastructure, capacity, product, and go-to-market teams to ensure performance findings are translated into roadmap priorities, customer readiness, and external proof points.
• Create program mechanisms for release readiness, benchmark planning, risk management, issue escalation, and post-launch review for performance-sensitive infrastructure initiatives.
• Build dashboards, operating cadences, and success metrics to improve performance visibility, infrastructure validation coverage, benchmark repeatability, and time-to-readiness for new platforms.
• Help drive prioritization across performance bottlenecks, test gaps, and benchmark requests by aligning stakeholders on goals, tradeoffs, and measurable outcomes.
• Create clarity across ambiguous technical programs by aligning teams around performance goals, validation criteria, and execution milestones.
