Role
Who you are
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field
- 4-6 years building distributed systems, storage systems or infrastructure services
- Production experience with storage, databases or file systems: as a builder of the system, not only a user of it
- Proficiency in a systems language: Go preferred, Rust or C++ a plus
- Working knowledge of Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure
- Understanding of distributed systems fundamentals: consistency, replication, failure handling
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
- Clear communicator, able to work collaboratively across teams
- Wondering if you’re a good fit? We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams - even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. Here are a few qualities we've found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we'd love to talk
- You love working close to the metal on systems that have to stay up
- You're curious about how storage is built, not just how it is used
- You're an expert in shipping reliable Go services and finding out why things break
Desirable
- Exposure to NFS, POSIX file semantics, block volumes or CSI
- Storage observability tools: Prometheus, Grafana, ClickHouse
- Distributed databases or storage engines: CockroachDB, RocksDB or similar
What the job involves
- CoreWeave's Storage team builds the file and block storage that the world's largest AI training and inference workloads run on. As a Senior Software Engineer you will build features across our multi-tenant file and block storage services: the NFS file data path, durable block volumes and the Go-based control plane that governs them, all delivered through Kubernetes
- Storage at CoreWeave sits next to the GPUs, so the systems you build keep the largest AI clusters in the world fed with data
- You will independently deliver well-scoped components across the file and block stack, working alongside senior and staff engineers who own the architecture
- Build and improve control plane services in Go: provisioning, tenancy, quota, snapshots and lifecycle policy for file and block storage
- Contribute to the file system data path: NFS reliability, IO performance and the small-file workloads AI pipelines depend on
- Help deliver file and block as first-class Kubernetes citizens: CSI driver features such as dynamic provisioning, resize and snapshots
- Improve reliability, durability and observability of the storage stack with telemetry, metrics and dashboards
- Debug production issues in distributed, high-performance systems and turn what you find into lasting fixes
- Work cross-functionally with compute, platform and infrastructure teams
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.
