Job description

CoreWeave | Senior Specialist Field Engineers (Kubernetes, Security, Storage, Compute Infrastructure) | Full-time | Hybrid, 3 days/week in office: San Francisco CA, Sunnyvale CA, or Bellevue WA | $182k-$275k base + bonus + equity

I run the US West Specialist Field Engineering team at CoreWeave. We work hand in hand with the labs pushing the boundaries of AI, on some of the largest GPU Kubernetes clusters in the world. Specialist Field Engineers own the technical side of the customer relationship: architecture, proofs of concept, and the hard debugging nobody else can do. What you learn in the field feeds straight back into the product. Must live near one of the cities above. This is a hybrid role, and we do not offer relocation. Must have deep experience in these areas. It's in the title. The work we do goes exceptionally deep, and we need people who are already experts in one of these areas.
