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.
</p> <p>This is the problem. </p> <p>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. </p> <h3><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>About the role:</strong></span></h3> <ul> <li>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. </li> <li>For the research cluster platform: design and build a complete research cluster experience. CLI, job configuration schema, Kubernetes operators, daemons.
Solve the problems researchers actually hit: code distribution, checkpoint-triggered evaluation, cross-cluster scheduling, programmatic job control. </li> <li>For sandbox infrastructure: own the Python SDK and work in a very tight loop with the backend team. When an RL training run needs to spawn thousands of isolated containers for agent rollouts, that's this system.
When someone wants to run agent benchmarks at scale, that's this system. </li> <li>Write the documentation for running popular OSS training frameworks on CoreWeave. </li> <li>Work with infrastructure teams and customers directly. The customers are large AI labs running thousands of GPUs. Understand how they structure their internal supercomputing stacks.
</li> <li>Real Kubernetes experience: custom controllers, operators, scheduling, CRDs, workload orchestration at scale. </li> <li>You understand what makes researchers productive. Code distribution matters. Fast iteration cycles matter. </li> <li>You've shipped infrastructure that other people rely on daily. Not prototypes. </li> <li>Good communicator.
</li> <li>Background with Slurm, Ray, or similar workload orchestration. </li> </ul> <p><strong>Wondering if you’re a good fit? We’re in an exciting stage of hyper-growth that you will not want to miss out on. We’re not afraid of a little chaos, and we’re constantly learning.
