About the Role
Core Weave 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, Open Telemetry)
- Experience with fleet lifecycle management (provisioning, firmware/OS updates, decommissioning) at scale
The base salary range for this role is $157,000 to $210,000. The starting salary will be determined based on job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and market location. We strive for both market alignment and…
