CoreWeave is the AI hyperscaler, operating infrastructure at a scale and level of complexity required to support the most demanding AI workloads in the world. In this role, you will lead and scale CoreWeave's Platform Security engineering function, owning how security is designed into the Kubernetes-based platform and public cloud environments. This is a hands-on engineering leadership role focused on building and operating security controls, not writing policy. You will define strategy and execution for cloud security posture, workload isolation, platform guardrails, image integrity, and multi-cloud security across CoreWeave's own Kubernetes infrastructure and third-party cloud platforms including AWS, GCP, and Azure. You will lead and grow a team of platform security engineers and partner closely with Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, SRE, and other security teams to ensure platform security capabilities scale alongside the business. This role reports to the Senior Director of Security Foundations.
CoreWeave delivers GPU-accelerated infrastructure purpose-built to support the most demanding AI and machine learning workloads in the world. Our platform is designed for extreme performance, scale, and reliability, supporting frontier AI development across a rapidly expanding global footprint.
As CoreWeave continues to scale, securing the platform layer that underpins customer workloads and internal services is a critical foundation for the business. Platform Security at CoreWeave is an engineering discipline focused on building and operating systems that enforce security at the infrastructure layer across both our Kubernetes-based platform and third-party public cloud environments.
The team owns the technical design, implementation, and operation of cloud security posture management, workload isolation, platform-level guardrails, and image integrity controls. This role is responsible for running, evolving, and operating CoreWeave's Platform Security engineering program and team in close partnership with Infrastructure, Platform Engineering, SRE, and other security stakeholders.
