About the Role

CoreWeave is building the world's largest AI Cloud platform, and our fleet is growing at extraordinary speed. We're seeking a Senior Technical Program Manager to own fleet-wide reliability and operations programs that keep pace with that growth. This role partners closely with Compute, Networking, Data Center, and Operations teams to drive improvements in fleet operating efficiency — maximizing the percentage of fleet capacity that is healthy, available, and sellable — alongside reliability and stability goals.

You'll act as the central owner for fleet reliability and operations programs: aligning teams on priorities, defining success metrics, driving execution, and ensuring improvements hold at scale — not just land once and regress as the fleet scales.

The Technical Program Manager will

  • Establish and own fleet reliability metrics and dashboards (e.g., failure rates, MTTR, incident trends, capacity availability and utilization rates), with visibility into how these trend as the fleet expands
  • Drive alignment on fleet reliability OKRs across engineering and operations teams
  • Identify systemic reliability gaps across hardware, firmware, software, networking, storage, and operational processes
  • Lead complex, cross-functional programs to improve fleet delivery, readiness, and operational stability that scale with fleet growth, avoiding solutions that only work at current size
  • Define program plans, milestones, dependencies, risks, and success criteria for reliability initiatives
  • Proactively manage cross-team dependencies and unblock execution across multiple engineering organizations
  • Track progress against goals, surface risks early, and communicate status clearly to stakeholders and leadership
  • Participate in major incident reviews and root cause analysis, ensuring follow-up actions are tracked to closure
  • Use data and post-incident learnings to prioritize reliability investments and drive corrective action

Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 7+ years of technical program management experience in large-scale compute infrastructure, cloud, or platform environments
  • Experience operating in a rapidly growing or fast-scaling infrastructure environment, with programs designed to hold up under 2x, 5x, or greater fleet growth
  • Strong technical aptitude across infrastructure domains (compute, storage, networking, hardware, or SRE)
  • Demonstrated ability to use data and metrics to drive prioritization, execution, and decision-making
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including executive-level reporting

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience operating at scale in data center, cloud infrastructure, or hyperscale environments balancing reliability investments against capacity goals, with an understanding of how operational decisions affect sellable capacity
  • Familiarity with reliability frameworks such as SLIs/SLOs, error budgets, incident management practices, and root cause analysis
  • Understanding of hardware failure and processes, including failure diagnosis, vendor coordination, and replacement lifecycle management
  • Background in observability, monitoring, or telemetry systems (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry)
  • Experience with fleet lifecycle management (provisioning, firmware/OS updates, decommissioning) at scale

The base salary range for this role is $177,000 to $237,000. The starting salary will be determined based on job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and market location. We strive for both market alignment and internal equity when determining compensation. In addition to base salary, our total rewards package includes a discretionary bonus, equity awards, and a comprehensive benefits program (all based on eligibility).
