- You’re comfortable with the idea of using Go as your primary programming language
- You know your way around a Linux distro, shell scripting, and/or the Linux storage and networking stacks

- Design and implement solutions to fascinating problems of scale for provisioning and managing (many) bare-metal Kubernetes clusters in a hands-free, growing environment
- Develop a toolchain and program for testing and developing against a complex cloud environment at a scale that remains agile
- Create custom Kubernetes interfaces, gateways, and orchestrators all managed using Gitops tools such as Argo CD and Helm
- Improve the performance, security, and reliability of our internal Kubernetes platforms and participate in the Kubernetes Infrastructure on-call rotation
- Build dashboards, alerts, and insights into the customer experience using Grafana and Prometheus ecosystem tools
- Grow, change, invest in your teammates, be invested-in, share your ideas, listen to others, be curious, have fun, and, above all, be yourself
Application process

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.
