WHAT YOU'LL DO: 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. 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. Working alongside the teams that build and operate each layer, you are the deep technical expert who turns raw data center hardware—racks, GPUs, high-speed fabric, firmware—into reliable compute that customers can train and inference on at scale, spanning infrastructure engineering, provisioning, validation, operations, and support. 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, defining how we operate customer bare-metal fleets at rack-level-and-up (IT service, break-fix, network, and firmware), and standing up locked-down, security-sensitive environments for our most strategic AI customers. You'll partner closely with Data Center Operations, Fleet Operations, Networking, and Product Engineering, and your work in the field will directly shape how CoreWeave delivers compute infrastructure. If you're driven by innovation, thrilled by the possibilities of what specialized compute can enable, and eager to be part of a team that's shaping the future, then CoreWeave is the place for you. Join us and let's embark on this adventure together!
