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
- 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
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.
