Job summary

CoreWeave is hiring a Senior Software Engineer to design and build backend services and APIs that automate provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle operations for its globally distributed bare metal fleet.

The role focuses on turning complex procedures into safe, auditable automation for ops teams at scale.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in software or infrastructure engineering building and operating production backend or infrastructure services.
• Proficiency in Go for building networked services and APIs (gRPC and REST) in production environments.
• Experience designing and implementing distributed systems that operate reliably at scale, including concurrency, failure handling, and resiliency patterns.
• Strong understanding of Linux systems and how to debug issues across processes, networking, and storage.
• Experience with Kubernetes or similar container orchestration platforms and their APIs (e.g., CRDs, controllers, operators).
• Familiarity with CI/CD tooling (such as Argo, Flux, or GitHub Actions) to ship and operate services safely and frequently.
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement backend services and APIs (primarily gRPC in Go) that orchestrate provisioning, configuration, and lifecycle operations across CoreWeave’s global server fleet.
• Develop Kubernetes custom resource definitions (CRDs) to automate provisioning and lifecycle management of CoreWeave’s entire server fleet.
• Model and evolve RPC schemas and data contracts used by other engineering and operations teams to integrate with fleet provisioning workflows.
• Build integrations with vendor and internal APIs to make hardware and data center processes robust, transparent, and easy to operate at scale.
• Collaborate closely with hardware engineering, data center operations, and platform teams to design solutions to problems of scale for multi-site deployment and management of CoreWeave’s global hardware fleet.
• Create test plans, deployment automation, and supporting tooling that enable safe rollouts and continuous improvement of fleet provisioning services.
• Participate in the Fleet Provisioning Automation on-call rotation and help drive incident response and post-incident improvements.
