About The Team

The IT Engineering at CoreWeave designs, builds, and operates the systems that enable our employees and acquired organizations to work securely and efficiently at scale. The team partners closely with Security, Business Development, PeopleOps, and Corporate functions to deliver resilient, standardized, and automation-first IT solutions that support CoreWeave’s rapid growth.

About The Role

CoreWeave is hiring an IT Systems Engineer (Cloud Infrastructure) to build and operate the GCP, Azure, and AWS platforms that power our internal IT and enterprise systems. The role covers cloud infrastructure, enterprise IT, and the operational reliability of the platforms those systems run on. You will work hands-on across our internal cloud foundations: landing zones, hybrid connectivity to data centers, and the infrastructure behind identity, collaboration, IT operations, and internal tooling. The work is execution-heavy. You will also mentor junior engineers and contribute to team-level technical decisions.

What You'll Do

Cloud foundations and architecture (GCP, Azure and AWS)

• Provision and manage cloud resources within established landing zones, including compute, storage, IAM, and workload configuration.
• Manage IAM, service accounts, Workload Identity Federation, and Secret Manager for internal workloads, aligned with security baselines established by the cloud council.
• Build and maintain Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, including GCP-specific modules for project factory and IAM.
• Partner with Security and Networking teams to implement approved zero-trust and defense-in-depth patterns for internal cloud services
• Contribute to cloud migrations and integrations tied to company growth, including acquisitions and platform consolidations.

Infrastructure you'll own

You will build and operate the cloud infrastructure behind CoreWeave's internal IT platforms and enterprise tooling.

• Core enterprise platforms in GCP projects, multi-tenant Azure, and AWS
• Shared internal services: VDI, bastion hosts, internal APIs, job runners, and internal tooling
• GCP-native workloads on GKE, Cloud Run, or Compute Engine

Operations, reliability, and automation

• Maintain the reliability of internal cloud environments, including performance, capacity, cost, and security posture.
• Set up and maintain monitoring, alerting, and logging across GCP, Azure, and AWS environments.
• Implement, test, and maintain backup, disaster recovery, and failover configurations based on defined recovery requirements.
• Identify bottlenecks and propose fixes across performance, security, and scalability.
• Build automation for common workflows using Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, or similar pipelines.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure deployment and management.
• Troubleshoot production issues, participate in incident response, and contribute to root-cause analysis and corrective actions.

Mentorship and collaboration

• Support and mentor less-experienced engineers through troubleshooting, documentation, code reviews, and knowledge sharing.
• Be a reliable technical resource for the team.
• Work with engineers across teams on system integrations.
• Explain technical ideas and trade-offs to engineers and non-engineers alike.

What You Bring

This role operates across GCP, Azure, and AWS. GCP is where most new work lands, so that's where we look for the most depth.

Required Qualifications

• 7–10 years of experience as a Systems, Cloud, or Infrastructure Engineer supporting production environments.
• Strong hands-on GCP experience, including networking, IAM, compute, storage, security, and observability in multi-project environments.
• Working experience with at least one additional public cloud platform, preferably Azure or AWS, and the ability to apply equivalent infrastructure concepts across cloud providers.
• Strong hands-on experience using Terraform to provision and manage cloud infrastructure, including reusable modules, remote state, plan review, troubleshooting, and CI/CD-based deployment.
• Working knowledge of cloud networking, including VPCs/VNets, subnets, routing, DNS, firewalls, load balancers, peering, VPNs, and private connectivity.
• Experience managing IAM, service accounts, workload identities, secrets, and least-privilege access.
• Experience using Git-based development workflows, pull requests, code reviews, and automated validation.
• Experience operating Linux and Windows workloads in the cloud, including deployment, configuration, patching, hardening, and troubleshooting.
