Tell us what interests you most, and throughout the hiring process, we’ll get a sense of your strengths, expertise, and aspirations. If you join CoreWeave, you’ll land on the team where you can do your best work—driving innovation, solving complex problems, and shaping the future of cloud computing.

What You’ll Do:

At CoreWeave, infrastructure isn’t just a foundation, it’s a product. We build scalable, high-performance computing systems that power the largest AI workloads in the world. We’re looking for Engineers that thrive at the intersection of software and systems, deploying and managing large scale bare metal compute.

Within this domain, you’ll design and build software that manages complex infrastructure across globally distributed datacenters. Working in Go, Python/Ansible, deep in Linux environments, observability/monitoring stacks, and leveraging technologies like gRPC and Kubernetes CRDs/Controllers/Operators. Whether you’re automating bare metal, building fleet lifecycle management services, solving multi-layer integration challenges, or observing our globally distributed fleet, your work will be critical to the company's delivery of reliable and efficient infrastructure.

You’ll join a high-performing, communicative, and supportive team, solving complex problems at hyperscale, deploying purpose built AI across the world. 

About the role:

• Design and implement solutions to problems of scale for multi-site deployment and management of CoreWeave’s global server hardware fleet.
• Build and maintain backend services and APIs (gRPC/REST) in Go or Python to interact with Kubernetes and other infrastructure systems.
• Develop provisioning services, automation workflows, and fleet management tools that span from bare metal to container orchestration.
• Write and maintain Kubernetes custom controllers and operators to automate infrastructure behavior.
• Design and implement observability solutions for large-scale server monitoring to improve system stability and insight.
• Adapt and extend open source tooling to enhance visibility into system metrics, performance, and health.
• Create test plans, deployment automation, dashboards, alerts, and insights into our fleet operations.
• Resolve integration challenges across the entire infrastructure stack, from data center hardware to orchestration platforms.
• Participate in an on-call rotation.

Investing in our people is one of our top priorities, and we value candidates who can bring their diversified experiences to our teams. Here are some qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. We'd love to talk about whether this aligns with your experience and interests and what you’re excited to work on next.
