What You'll Do

CoreWeave's Data Center Operations organization runs the physical infrastructure behind one of the world's leading AI cloud platforms: the GPU clusters that frontier AI labs and enterprises use to train and serve their models. As CoreWeave expands into Asia-Pacific, we're building a regional operations organization from the ground up. It will own uptime, safety, and operational excellence across every CoreWeave data center in the region, and set the standard for how we run at scale outside North America and Europe.
