Company mission
To manage the complexities of AI growth to make supercomputing accessible and push the limits of what's possible.
Role
Who you are
- Production experience writing Go
- Experience designing and evolving APIs: versioning, backwards compatibility, and deprecation
- Experience building or maintaining client tooling: SDKs, CLIs, or infrastructure providers (Terraform, Pulumi, or Crossplane)
- A track record of owning a project or initiative end to end and operating independently
- Clear communication about your technical contributions and how you collaborate
Desirable
- Experience with code generation of any kind: codegen pipelines, templating, AST manipulation, or compiler/plugin work
- Experience with gRPC and protocol buffers, or another strongly-typed API/IDL toolchain
- Familiarity with the Buf toolchain, ConnectRPC, the Terraform Plugin Framework, or Cobra
What the job involves
- As a Senior Engineer on API Platform & Client Tooling, you'll design and build the code-generation pipeline that turns a single proto contract into Go SDKs, CWIC commands, and Terraform resources
- You'll own components end to end, from the proto and API contract through the generated artifacts other teams depend on, and raise the quality bar for the developer experience across that whole surface
- Because this team is CoreWeave's internal API consultancy, you'll also partner with other teams early in their design process to help them ship good, consistent APIs
- Expect a mix of hands-on Go engineering, API design, and cross-team collaboration
- Own components of our API services framework (server code and tooling) and its generated artifacts: proto-driven code generation that emits Go SDKs, CWIC commands, and Terraform resources from a single source of truth
- Design and ship proto and API contracts, applying schema evolution and backwards-compatibility discipline, and help author and enforce CoreWeave API Standards in CI
- Champion developer experience across the CLI, SDKs, and Terraform provider: ergonomics, release cadence, and the quality bars that make every other CoreWeave team faster
- Work across authentication and identity, understanding how auth contracts (access keys, service accounts, JWKS, mTLS, and OIDC) flow from proto into generated clients
- Act consultatively: help other teams design and ship good APIs and services
- Drive team-level technical initiatives to completion and mentor junior and mid-level engineers
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.
