Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of experience building production-grade software applications, including both backend services and modern web frontends
- Strong proficiency in backend programming languages (Python, Go, Java, C#) and frontend programming languages (JavaScript, TypeScript)
- Strong experience building modern frontend applications using frameworks such as React and Next.js
- Hands-on experience with containerization and deployment tooling (e.g., Docker, Helm)
- Experience building and operating APIs and services (e.g., REST, gRPC) with a focus on performance and reliability
- Experience developing and deploying AI/ML/LLM-powered applications in production environments
- Familiarity with data platforms and tools (e.g., Spark, Kafka, or similar systems) and integrating them into application workflows
- Experience implementing software development best practices, including CI/CD, automated testing, observability, and secure application design
- Ability to take ownership of complex systems end-to-end, from design through deployment and iteration
- Wondering if you’re a good fit? We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams – even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. Here are a few qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we’d love to talk
- You love building user-facing applications that turn complex data into intuitive experiences
- You’re curious about applying AI to real-world problems, not just prototypes
- You’re an expert in designing and shipping systems that are both scalable and usable
Desirable
- Experience building AI-native applications such as text-to-SQL interfaces, copilots, or automated insight-generation systems
- Experience designing and building scalable, distributed systems deployed in cloud-native environments (e.g., Kubernetes)
- Familiarity with real-time data processing or streaming architectures
- Experience building internal platforms or tools that enable self-service analytics or decision-making
What the job involves
- The Applications Engineering team in the Data Infrastructure organization builds AI-native analytics platforms and first-party applications that embed governed data directly into operational workflows
- . The team develops CoreWeave’s internal data-native software products, transforming data into operational capability through intelligent interfaces, automation, and decision systems
- This includes AI-native analytics platforms (e.g., UNION) and mission-critical applications such as capacity planning and scenario modeling
- These systems encode CoreWeave’s differentiated operating knowledge into software, enabling scalable, data-driven decision-making across the business
- As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and build production-grade, full-stack applications that make data accessible, actionable, and embedded within CoreWeave’s core workflows
- . You will develop AI-enabled user experiences, scalable backend services, and intuitive interfaces that abstract away the complexity of underlying data systems
- Day-to-day, you’ll work across the stack - from React-based frontends to backend services running on Kubernetes - while integrating AI/LLM capabilities into real-world applications
- This role offers high visibility and the opportunity to directly influence how data is consumed and operationalized across the company
Our take
As AI continues to dominate the tech landscape, the demand for faster, more efficient cloud infrastructure is only intensifying. Traditional cloud providers often struggle with the sheer speed and scale required to power advanced AI models, leaving a gap for more specialized players. And that's where CoreWeave comes in, a company purpose-built to handle the heavy computational lift that the AI era demands.
CoreWeave's story is an interesting one too. What began in 2017 as a small crypto mining venture has evolved into one of the leading AI-focused cloud providers in the world. Its data centers are packed with high-end GPUs optimized for machine learning and generative AI, serving major clients like Microsoft and OpenAI. By designing its infrastructure around the needs of modern AI workloads rather than retrofitting older systems, CoreWeave has carved out a distinct and highly valuable niche in the market.
That focus in paying off in a big way too. Analyst project CoreWeave's revenue to soar from $5.3B in 2025 to the mid-$20Bs by 2028, up from just $16M in 2022. While there is competition from tech giants like Amazon and Google, CoreWeave's speed, specialization, and bold investment strategy put in in a very powerful position to keep riding (and helping shape) the AI boom.
