Senior Technical Program Manager – Fleet Operations & Reliability
About this role
Managing cross-functional reliability initiatives and tracking metrics like MTTR and failure rates makes up the daily routine in this position. The team builds and scales a massive cloud infrastructure platform, requiring careful coordination between compute, networking, data center, and operations groups to maximize available fleet capacity. CoreWeave operates an expanding AI cloud environment, necessitating a senior technical program manager to establish fleet-wide operational standards, define reliability OKRs, and ensure system stability holds through rapid growth.
Candidates joining the organization will lead complex programs that span hardware, firmware, software, and storage domains while keeping stakeholders aligned. Success in the role requires deep technical aptitude in large-scale infrastructure environments, a data-driven approach to prioritization, and the ability to unblock engineering execution without relying on temporary fixes.
What you will do
- Establish and own fleet reliability metrics and dashboards including failure rates, MTTR, incident trends, and capacity utilization rates.
- Drive alignment on fleet reliability OKRs across various engineering and operations teams.
- Identify systemic reliability gaps spanning hardware, firmware, software, networking, storage, and operational processes.
- Lead complex, cross-functional programs to improve fleet delivery, readiness, and operational stability that scale with growth.
- Define program plans, milestones, dependencies, risks, and success criteria for reliability initiatives.
- Participate in major incident reviews and root cause analysis to ensure follow-up actions are tracked to closure.
- Use data and post-incident learnings to prioritize reliability investments and drive corrective action.
What you need
- Possess a bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Bring 7 or more years of technical program management experience in large-scale compute infrastructure, cloud, or platform environments.
- Demonstrate experience operating in rapidly growing or fast-scaling infrastructure environments designed for significant fleet growth.
- Show strong technical aptitude across infrastructure domains such as compute, storage, networking, hardware, or SRE.
- Apply data and metrics effectively to drive prioritization, execution, and decision-making.
- Exemplify excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including executive-level reporting.
Nice to have
- Experience operating at scale in data center, cloud infrastructure, or hyperscale environments balancing reliability investments against capacity goals.
- 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 such as Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry.
- Experience with fleet lifecycle management including provisioning, firmware/OS updates, and decommissioning at scale.
