Staff Technical Program Manager, Inference

CoreWeave•Bellevue, WA

2h•$177,000 - $237,000

About The Position

CoreWeave’s AI/ML Platform Services organization builds distributed systems that power large-scale inference workloads across its GPU-accelerated cloud. The Staff Technical Program Manager focused on inference leads complex, cross-functional programs spanning inference platform delivery, customer onboarding, launch readiness, and runtime optimization. The role partners with engineering, product, infrastructure, and go-to-market teams to improve how inference services are launched, onboarded, operated, and optimized. This includes customer-facing onboarding programs, launch readiness for dedicated inference capabilities, and platform improvements that support scale, reliability, and predictable delivery. The position requires deep technical fluency in distributed systems, inference infrastructure, and AI platform operations, as well as the ability to create structure, visibility, and execution rhythm across multiple teams.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in a technical field or equivalent practical experience.
At least 8 years of technical program management experience in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, or AI/ML platform engineering.
Proven experience driving large-scale infrastructure or platform programs from concept to production in complex, cross-functional environments.
Strong technical fluency in distributed inference systems, GPU compute, cloud-native architectures, and performance optimization.
Demonstrated success driving measurable improvements in reliability, performance, operational readiness, or customer delivery.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to align engineering, product, infrastructure, and customer-facing stakeholders around shared goals.
Experience with inference-serving systems, model onboarding workflows, rollout strategies, and observability tooling.
Familiarity with launch readiness, supportability, incident follow-through, and release validation for production infrastructure or platform services.
Understanding of technical product customer onboarding where platform capabilities, infrastructure readiness, and support processes must align for launch.
Experience in high-growth environments where roadmap execution, reliability expectations, and customer commitments must be managed in parallel.
Must meet the stated U.S. export-control eligibility requirements for access to export-controlled information.

Responsibilities

Drive end-to-end program management for inference platform initiatives spanning reliability, customer onboarding, launch readiness, and runtime optimization.
Lead cross-functional customer onboarding programs across dedicated and serverless inference offerings, establishing ownership, launch criteria, and readiness for strategic customer use cases.
Drive launch readiness for new inference capabilities by aligning teams around customer outcomes, supportability, and end-to-end validation.
Partner with engineering and product to define and deliver roadmap outcomes for latency, throughput, uptime, operational quality, and price-performance.
Coordinate execution across platform, infrastructure, and customer-facing teams to deliver reliable, scalable inference services.
Build and operationalize success metrics, dashboards, launch gates, and review cadences to measure reliability, onboarding readiness, efficiency, and quality across the inference stack.
Establish repeatable processes for release validation, performance regression tracking, launch management, and postmortem follow-through.
Unify operational processes, support mechanisms, and execution visibility across inference deployment models and customer onboarding paths.
Create communication channels among Engineering, Product, Infrastructure, and Go-to-Market teams to align priorities and deliver predictable outcomes.
