Role
Who you are
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
- 6–10 years of experience working in storage systems engineering or infrastructure
- Strong hands-on experience with object storage or distributed filesystems in production environments
- Experience with one or more storage protocols (e.g. S3, NFS) and file systems such as Ceph, DAOS, or similar
- Proficiency in a systems programming language such as Go, C, or Rust
- Familiarity with storage observability tools and telemetry pipelines (e.g., ClickHouse, Prometheus, Grafana)
- Solid understanding of cloud-native infrastructure, Kubernetes, and scalable system architecture
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in distributed, high-performance environments
- Clear communicator, able to work collaboratively across teams and share technical insights effectively
- 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
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Storage Engineer, Control Plane to play a key role in designing, building, and operating the control plane for our high-performance AI storage platform
- You’ll help evolve CoreWeave’s storage systems by building reliable, scalable, and high-throughput solutions that power some of the largest and innovative AI workloads in the world
- This role involves close collaboration with teams across infrastructure, compute, and platform to ensure our storage services scale automatically and seamlessly while maximizing performance and reliability
- Design and implement a highly scalable multi-tenant control plane that supports CoreWeave’s growing AI storage and cloud infrastructure needs
- Contribute to the development of exabyte-scale, S3-compatible object storage, distributed file system and integrate dedicated storage clusters into diverse customer environments
- Work with technologies such as RDMA, GPU Direct Storage, RoCE, InfiniBand, SPDK, and distributed filesystems to optimize storage performance and efficiency
- Participate in efforts to improve the reliability, durability, and observability of our storage stack
- Collaborate with operations teams to monitor, analyze, and optimize storage systems using telemetry, metrics, and dashboards to improve performance, latency, and resilience
- Work cross-functionally with platform, product, and infrastructure teams to deliver seamless storage capabilities across the stack
- Share your knowledge and mentor other engineers on best practices in building distributed, high-performance systems
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.
