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.

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.

Key Responsibilities

• 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.
