What You'll Do: The AI infrastructure market is moving faster than any playbook can keep up with, and the companies building at its frontier, from early-stage startups to the world's largest enterprises, need a commercial partner who understands their infrastructure requirements as instinctively as they do. As a Principal Solution Specialist for Infrastructure, you sit at the center of how CoreWeave structures, negotiates, and closes its most complex infrastructure deals globally. This is not a single-product or single-vertical role: it requires deep fluency in how AI companies across every industry think about and consume infrastructure, and it turns that fluency into the commercial mechanics, deal frameworks, and cross-functional alignment that make large-scale commitments possible. You own the deal from first conversation through execution, and you make the broader field organization smarter and faster at every stage of that process. About the role: As a Principal Solution Specialist for Infrastructure, you design the frameworks that govern how CoreWeave structures large infrastructure commitments, negotiate the commercial terms that create durable value for both sides, and build the playbooks and processes the field team relies on to win. But this role goes beyond deal mechanics: you will develop an instinctive understanding of what AI companies need to build across every layer of the infrastructure stack, and across every stage of company maturity from early-stage startup to hyperscale enterprise. In a market changing as fast as AI infrastructure, the intelligence you gather from customer conversations feeds directly into CoreWeave's product, engineering, capacity planning, finance, and marketing teams. This role sits at the intersection of sales, operations, enablement, and deal desk, and the insight it generates shapes how CoreWeave builds and goes to market.
