This role offers a chance to shape one of the world’s fastest-growing compute infrastructures and directly influence CoreWeave’s ability to deliver at scale.

• 5–7 years of experience in capacity planning, hardware planning, or supply/demand forecasting — ideally with CPU, server, or semiconductor products.
• Understanding of CPU architectures and performance metrics (cores, TDP, cache, clock speed) and their impact on data center planning.
• Skilled in large dataset management and analysis using Excel, SQL, or Python; data visualization experience in Tableau, Looker, or Power BI.
• Proven experience coordinating with Data Center Operations on large-scale deployments.
• Strong analytical skills with scenario-based forecasting and what-if modeling experience.
• Demonstrated success working cross-functionally with Engineering, Supply Chain, Finance, and Operations.
• Excellent communication and organization skills, translating data into clear, actionable recommendations.
• Experience in cloud infrastructure, hyperscale, or data center environments is a strong plus.

• Experience with CPU SKU planning, silicon lifecycle management, or supplier coordination.
• Familiarity with compute resource management and planning automation tools.
