Role
Who you are
- You have six or more years of experience in a software or infrastructure engineering industry
- You enjoy helping your colleagues achieve more with less effort
- You are customer obsessed, ecstatic to provide infrastructure as a service, and default to adopting a product lens when evaluating platform scale problems
- You have experience with logging and tracing platforms in production and at scale, and are versed in reliability engineering concepts such as the different types of testing, progressive deployments, error budgets, the role observability plays, and fault-tolerant design
- You are opinionated about the best use cases for each of the three Observability pillars, and are excited about enabling engineers of all stripes - from frontend down to the kernel – with the best tools for their specific jobs
- You have experience using Kubernetes, a conceptual understanding of its major components, and/or have operated Kubernetes clusters at scale for both event-driven and stateful orchestration
- You’re familiar with various logging and metrics systems like ClickHouse, Elastic, Loki, Victoria Metrics, Prometheus, Thanos and Grafana. You have experience with designing and operating these systems at scale
- You are familiar with PromQL, any other querying language and enjoy understanding the data model for observability systems
- You are excited at the prospect of zero-downtime, transparent migrations of major production services
- You’re comfortable with the idea of using Go as your primary programming language, but don’t shy away from templating yaml as circumstances call for it
- You know your way around a Linux distro, shell scripting, and/or the Linux storage and networking stacks
- You can transform problems in elastic solutions, decompose them into achievable tasks, and socialize both to your teammates
- You’re excited about being part of a team of diverse perspectives and backgrounds that believe in tackling challenges, growing hand in hand, and winning together
What the job involves
- The Observability department plays a pivotal role in CoreWeave’s ability to bring the best performing systems to the market
- Whether you focus on metrics, logging and tracing, or pipelines and visualization, you’ll have an outsize opportunity to enable both CoreWeave and its customers to understand, troubleshoot, and optimize complex systems at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence
- We are seeking senior observability engineers with specializations in logging and tracing platforms (where knowledge of Loki and/or ClickHouse is a strong plus), pipelines and visualisation (where knowledge of Kafka and Grafana will set you apart)
- Build low-touch, automated tooling that enables CoreWeave engineers to clearly articulate which pieces of telemetry, visualizations, and dashboards should be presented to customers
- Modernize logging platforms at cloud-scale
- Design migrations that are transparent to platform consumers
- Assist CoreWeavers in differentiating between optimal use cases for structured and unstructured logs
- Build governance mechanisms that empower CoreWeavers to effectively manage the telemetry their services produce and adopt best practices
- Assist engineers across CoreWeave’s in maximizing the insights they glean from all three pillars of observability
- Develop and enforce best practices regarding the health of telemetry ETL pipelines
- Improve the performance, security, reliability, and scalability of observability services while participating in the team’s on-call rotation
- Work with telemetry data at enormous scale, ingesting data from industry-leading GPU clusters
- Grow, change, invest in your teammates, be invested-in, share your ideas, listen to others, be curious, have fun, and, above all, be yourself
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 avery powerful position to keep riding (and helping shape) the AI boom.
