Role Overview:

As a Production Engineer I/II, you will play a key role in maintaining the reliability and stability of CoreWeave's cloud infrastructure. You will work closely with the Production Engineer Team Lead and other engineers to support incident response, platform reliability, and operational improvements. This position is ideal for individuals eager to grow their technical skills, contribute to a high-performing team, and make an impact on the operational excellence of CoreWeave's cloud services.

You will be part of a dynamic team responsible for monitoring the health of our infrastructure, troubleshooting issues, and participating in both day-to-day operational tasks and incident resolution efforts.

Key Responsibilities:

Incident Management & Support:

• Assist in incident response efforts by helping identify and resolve service disruptions quickly, working under the guidance of more senior engineers.
• Help document incidents, assist with root cause analysis (RCA), and support post-incident reviews (PIRs) to identify lessons learned.
• Contribute to the development and maintenance of incident response playbooks to ensure preparedness for various failure scenarios.
• Participate in communication efforts during incidents, updating stakeholders and keeping clear records of incident activities.

Operational Support & Reliability:

• Monitor system performance and health using tools like Prometheus and Grafana, identifying any performance issues or potential incidents.
• Help implement automation and process improvements to enhance efficiency and reduce manual intervention in incident detection and recovery.
• Support the development of KPIs and SLAs for incident management and ensure alignment with team goals.
• Collaborate with engineers across teams to improve platform reliability, resilience improvements, and disaster recovery.

Team Collaboration & Development:

• Work closely with other engineers to troubleshoot system issues, refine workflows, and support ongoing operational needs.
• Participate in knowledge-sharing activities, helping improve team processes and learning from senior team members.

Take part in training and mentorship opportunities to build technical skills and grow into more advanced responsibilities within the team.

Investing in our people is one of our top priorities, and we value candidates who can bring their diversified experiences to our teams. Here are some qualities we've found compatible with our team.

• Experience with monitoring and alerting tools (e.g., Prometheus, Grafana) or willingness to learn.
• Basic experience with scripting or automation tools (e.g., Python, Bash, Terraform, Ansible).
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical team members.
• Applicants must have work authorization that does not require sponsorship from the company now or in the future.
