CoreWeave powers the creation and delivery of the intelligence that drives innovation.
As a Senior Manager of Infrastructure Capacity, you will lead the strategic and technical planning of datacenter infrastructure capacity—including space, power, network, and cooling—to support CoreWeave’s rapid cloud expansion and next-generation hardware deployments. You will drive the development of sophisticated forecasting models, datacenter buildout strategies, and infrastructure optimization plans to ensure scalable, efficient, and resilient datacenter operations.
This role sits at the intersection of infrastructure engineering, network design, hardware strategy, and business operations—requiring strong technical understanding of datacenter architecture, networking, and emerging GPU workloads that are rapidly increasing in power density and thermal demand
Key Responsibilities- Lead and grow a team of capacity planners, infrastructure engineers, and analysts to deliver precise planning for datacenter expansion and infrastructure modernization.
- Partner with Datacenter Teams to drive and evolve CoreWeave’s global datacenter footprint strategy with a focus on high-density compute, optimizing for space, power delivery, network scalability, and cooling capabilities.
- Develop and maintain complex capacity models that integrate space, power, network, and compute requirements with real-world datacenter infrastructure constraints (e.g., rack densities, PDU loads, cooling limits).
- Strategize around datacenter cooling innovations (e.g., liquid cooling, rear-door heat exchangers, immersion cooling) to support exponential GPU growth and increased thermal density across hardware generations.
- Drive long-term datacenter planning that incorporates hardware refresh cycles, AI/ML workload projections, and evolving architectural requirements.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware engineering, facilities, network architecture, and finance to align infrastructure investments with operational needs and business growth.
- Partner with network and infrastructure engineering to ensure physical layer and Layer 1/2/3 designs meet both present and future capacity and performance demands.
- Guide the integration of hardware and infrastructure telemetry into planning tools and dashboards, ensuring real-time visibility into utilization and infrastructure headroom.
- Define and track infrastructure-related KPIs across utilization, redundancy, cooling efficiency (e.g., PUE), and operational availability.
- Drive tooling and automation initiatives to streamline datacenter planning and forecasting workflows, integrating with internal infrastructure management systems and DCIM platforms.
