Company mission
CoreWeave's mission is to deliver a massive scale of GPU compute resources on top of the industry’s fastest and most flexible infrastructure.
Role
Who you are
- B.S., M.S., or PhD in Computer Science or related field, or equivalent experience
- 8+ years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on infrastructure, cloud engineering, and distributed databases—particularly within large-scale datacenter and cloud environments
- Expertise in Go and proven experience building REST/gRPC APIs for mission-critical platforms
- Strong background in architecting and scaling cloud-native Kubernetes infrastructure and distributed services
- Proven success in mentoring engineers, leading technical projects, and influencing engineering strategy across teams
- Experience contributing to and collaborating with open source communities
- Skilled in applying a data-driven approach to reliability, optimization, and continuous improvement
- Excellent communicator able to work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
- Hands-on experience with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, PromQL), CI/CD pipelines, and operating large fleets of GPU servers
- Track record of leading incident response, postmortems, and driving robust service reliability
Desirable
- Working knowledge of Kafka, ClickHouse and CRDB
- DMTF, RedFish APIs, and GPU servers
What the job involves
- As a Staff Software Engineer, you’ll shape the backbone of our GPU-driven data centers—powering some of the most advanced workloads in AI and large-scale computing
- This isn’t just about keeping the lights on; it’s about architecting the next generation of reliable, secure, and massively scalable infrastructure
- The METALDEV team builds and operates a suite of Go-based services that power large-scale datacenter deployments
- These platforms automate complex workflows while providing deep observability and monitoring for tens of thousands of GPU servers and diverse infrastructure components—including CDUs, PDUs, and NVLink switches
- Our tooling is designed for next-generation rack systems like NVIDIA GB200 and GB300, as well as a broad range of GPU server platforms
- Provide technical leadership in designing, architecting, and operating large-scale infrastructure services for GPU servers, with a focus on security, reliability, and scalability
- Build and enhance infrastructure services and automation, including inventory management systems and lifecycle management solutions using open source technologies
- Drive strategic direction for infrastructure automation, lifecycle management, and service orchestration, making MetalDev core services more scalable and resilient
- Define best practices for API development (REST/gRPC), distributed databases, and Kubernetes orchestration—while mentoring engineers to follow your lead
- Partner with hardware, software, and operations teams to align infrastructure with business impact
- Contribute to open source communities (e.g., Go, Redfish) through collaboration and technical thought leadership
- Lead and improve CI/CD pipelines for hardware compliance, firmware management, and data systems
- Champion reliability and operational excellence by driving observability (Prometheus/Grafana), production incident response, and continuous service improvement
Our take
Many cloud service providers can suffer from slow prediction speeds when they are used for data modeling. CoreWeave solves this problem with its specialized cloud service provider.
CoreWeave reduces prediction times and makes service requests faster and more efficient. This, in turn, cuts cloud costs considerably. This has proven to be a strong draw for many companies, with CoreWeave signing a lucrative partnership with GPU heavyweight NVIDIA as well as partnering with BitOoda, which has allowed it to expand its operations to the financial market.
However, in 2023 it closed three very significant rounds of funding (Series B and debt and secondary extensions), which is being invested into expanding its US-based data centers, opening two new ones in the coming year. The question remains whether, despite 2023's big investments in the sector, CoreWeave can maintain this momentum and whether generative AI's stock will continue to rise.
