About the job

About the Role

As a Specialist Field Engineer - Compute Infrastructure at CoreWeave, you'll own the technical path for some of our largest customers as they go from facility and rack design to a validated, production-ready supercomputer. You'll engage hands-on across the entire customer lifecycle: leading new GPU cluster bring-up and acceptance, driving InfiniBand/RoCE fabric validation and HPC performance benchmarking, and defining how we operate customer bare-metal fleets at rack-level-and-up.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact for customers, focusing on bare-metal compute infrastructure and end-to-end cluster delivery within HPC environments.
  • Own the technical path from facility and rack design to a validated, production-ready supercomputer.
  • Lead bring-up and acceptance of new large-scale GPU clusters, driving InfiniBand/RoCE fabric validation and HPC performance benchmarking.
  • Define and operationalize models for managing customer bare-metal fleets, including BMaaS and self-service patterns.
  • Partner with Data Center Operations, Fleet Operations, and Networking teams.
  • Review and advise on customer-facing technical contract terms.
  • Lead proof of concept initiatives.
  • Drive technical leadership during customer meetings and workshops.
  • Act as a virtual member of engineering teams, identifying product enhancements.
  • Stay informed on Kubernetes, cloud computing, and infrastructure trends.
  • Lead prototyping and R&D for emerging products.
  • Represent CoreWeave at conferences and industry events.

Qualifications

  • B.S. in Computer Science or related technical discipline, or equivalent experience.
  • 7+ years of experience as a Solutions Architect, Field Engineer, Infrastructure/Systems Engineer, or TAM in Cloud Infrastructure, with expertise in bare-metal compute and large-scale GPU cluster delivery.
  • Fluency in cloud computing concepts and hands-on experience designing cloud solutions.
  • Proven track record building customer relationships and communicating complex concepts.
  • Deep expertise with modern rack-scale GPU server hardware (e.g., NVIDIA HGX / GB200-class), high-speed interconnects (InfiniBand, NVLink), and firmware/BMC/BIOS layer.
  • Expert-level Linux system administration and networking fundamentals.
  • Hands-on experience bringing up, validating, and operating large GPU clusters, including PXE boot, hardware health, fabric validation, and HPC acceptance testing, and integrating with Kubernetes and Slurm.
  • Preferred: experience with security-sensitive environments, scripting/automation (Python, Bash, Ansible), designing AI supercomputers, delivering bare-metal at scale, and multi-cloud/hybrid solutions.

Compensation

The base salary range for this role is $188,000 to $275,000. Total rewards include a discretionary bonus, equity awards, and a comprehensive benefits program.

Benefits

CoreWeave offers medical, dental, and vision insurance (100% paid), company-paid life insurance, short and long-term disability, tuition reimbursement, mental wellness benefits, family-forming support, paid parental leave, childcare support, 401(k) with generous employer match, flexible PTO, and catered lunch.
