Job description

from CoreWeave careers
CoreWeave is The Essential Cloud for AI™. Built for pioneers by pioneers, CoreWeave delivers a platform of technology, tools, and teams that enables innovators to build and scale AI with confidence. Trusted by leading AI labs, startups, and global enterprises, CoreWeave combines superior infrastructure performance with deep technical expertise to accelerate breakthroughs and turn compute into capability. Founded in 2017, CoreWeave became a publicly traded company (Nasdaq: CRWV) in March 2025. Learn more at www.coreweave.com.

What You’ll Do:

A lab signs with CoreWeave. They have thousands of GPUs waiting. Their first month? Spent on cluster setup instead of research. Building deployment scripts, fighting container images, wiring up job orchestration. They came to train models. Instead, they're doing operations.

This is the problem. We're building the Applied Training team to fix it.

You'll be an early member of a small team, responsible for our Kubernetes-native research cluster platform, or the sandbox client for agentic training and evaluation, or possibly a new project altogether. The goal is specific: Give every CoreWeave customer the research infrastructure that currently only exists inside frontier labs.

About the role:

  • 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 of CoreWeave that are building cloud native primitives. Compute, storage, networking, etc.
