About the Role

CoreWeave is building AI infrastructure at an extraordinary scale. We are seeking a Staff Technical Program Manager to define and lead how maintenance and operational changes are planned, coordinated, and delivered across our infrastructure. You will establish the operating model, decision frameworks, and execution standards that help teams complete changes safely, effectively, and on time while protecting service reliability and customer commitments.

You will build practical change-management processes that support reliable execution, customer readiness, and appropriate operational controls. This role requires someone who can turn ambiguous, multi-organization problems into clear direction and mechanisms that teams adopt. You will shape priorities and technical sequencing with engineering leaders, lead complex programs directly, and improve how the organization manages change beyond any single project.

The Technical Program Manager will

• Define and drive adoption of a shared operating model for infrastructure maintenance and change management, including intake, risk classification, ownership, readiness reviews, approvals, escalation, and closeout.
• Lead maintenance programs across facilities, site operations, infrastructure services, and customer support teams; from advance notification and planning through execution, validation, and closeout.
• Establish intake and notification processes with colocation providers, on-site vendors, and internal teams to capture upcoming maintenance, expected impacts, and changes to scope or timing.
• Maintain an integrated maintenance calendar with clear scope, schedules, dependencies, accountable owners, and completion criteria.
• Coordinate maintenance windows and work sequencing across teams and sites, resolving conflicts and avoiding concurrent activities that compromise redundancy or recovery options.
• Establish readiness criteria covering execution procedures, staffing, spare equipment, customer impact, rollback or recovery plans, and go/no-go decisions.
• Define and use metrics for notification lead time, readiness, schedule adherence, overdue maintenance, maintenance-related disruptions, and corrective action closure.
• Identify recurring gaps and translate maintenance outcomes into prioritized improvements for tooling, automation, and operational processes across CoreWeave teams and partners.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Demonstrated experience leading complex technical programs across multiple organizations in cloud infrastructure, data center operations, production engineering, or related environments.
• A proven track record of defining operating models, governance, or execution mechanisms adopted across an engineering or operations organization.
• Technical understanding of infrastructure and production-service dependencies, with the judgment to work with engineering leaders on sequencing, reliability, capacity, security, and recovery tradeoffs.
• Experience managing maintenance, migrations, or production changes, including risk assessment, operational readiness, validation, and rollback or recovery planning.
• Experience coordinating external providers or vendors and aligning their processes with internal operational requirements.
• Ability to investigate operational data, reconcile conflicting sources, and define metrics that guide decisions and demonstrate sustained improvement.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to explain technical risks and decisions to engineering, business, and customer-facing stakeholders.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience aligning maintenance practices across colocation providers, site vendors, and internal teams in a multi-site data center environment.
• Experience leading customer platform migrations, infrastructure transitions, or coordinated changes across hardware, firmware, networking, and software.
• Familiarity with production software release practices, including staged rollouts, automated validation, observability, and rollback.
• Experience partnering with Security, Compliance, or audit teams to implement practical change controls and maintain evidence of their effectiveness.
• Familiarity with high-availability architectures, workload evacuation, failover, and service recovery in large-scale cloud or accelerated computing environments.
• Demonstrated success improving reliability, change predictability, or customer outcomes through processes and tools adopted across teams.
• Experience mentoring TPMs and helping engineering and operations leaders strengthen program execution.
