Job description

About The Team

The Developer Experience (DevEx) team owns the platform, services, and systems that enable every engineer at CoreWeave to build and ship software faster, more safely, and with greater confidence. Our scope spans the full developer lifecycle: CI (continuous integration) and build infrastructure, test experience, delivery systems, artifact storage and distribution, internal developer platforms, and the agentic AI tooling that is redefining how engineers move from idea to production.

What You'll Do

• Define and drive the technical strategy for the DevEx platform. Set the long‑term architectural direction across CI pipeline infrastructure, test experience, delivery systems, artifact management, and agentic developer tooling, balancing engineering excellence with business priorities and org‑wide scale.
• Solve the highest‑complexity developer productivity problems at CoreWeave. Identify systemic bottlenecks that span teams, design solutions that operate reliably across 40+ data centers, and drive execution from architecture through production.
• Lead the agentic developer platform from a technical standpoint. Evolve the architecture of MCP servers, tool integration, and agent‑accessible DevEx APIs so that autonomous workflows become a first‑class primitive for every engineer at CoreWeave.
• Drive cross‑team technical initiatives. Work across DevEx, infrastructure, security, SRE, and product engineering to align on platform direction, resolve deep architectural trade‑offs, and establish engineering standards that raise the bar org‑wide.
• Mentor and develop Senior II engineers. Actively coach ICs, elevate technical decision‑making across the team, and build the engineering depth needed to sustain DevEx as CoreWeave scales.
• Proactively reduce systemic risk. Identify technical debt and reliability gaps before they become incidents, and drive durable improvements to platform resilience, efficiency, and developer trust.

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of software engineering experience with significant time spent building and owning production developer platforms, build infrastructure, or large‑scale distributed systems.
• Demonstrated ability to define and execute multi‑year technical strategies across complex, cross‑team domains.
• Deep systems design expertise. You design for correctness, scalability, and long‑term maintainability. You have strong opinions on API design, service architecture, and platform abstractions, and you can articulate why.
• Proficiency in Go, Python, or similar languages with a track record of shipping large‑scale production services in cloud‑native environments.
• Expertise in Kubernetes and IaaC (Infrastructure as Code) at the platform design level. You understand the scheduler, the API machinery, and the extension points.
• Experience with or strong leadership interest in AI‑native developer tooling, including agentic frameworks, LLM‑integrated developer workflows, or autonomous software development agents.
• Proven ability to influence technical decisions at the organization level, build alignment across teams with competing priorities, and communicate clearly with engineering leadership.
• A track record of growing senior engineers and building technical strength in the teams around you. You are an inspiring leader.

Nice to Have

• Deep expertise in one or more DevEx domains, including large‑scale CI, build and test systems (Bazel, Buildkite, remote execution, caching), deployment (GitOps, ArgoCD), artifact storage and distribution, or ephemer​al development environment infrastructure.
• Hands‑on experience designing and operating progressive delivery systems at scale, including SLO‑based quality gates, automated multi‑stage pipeline orchestration, and custom Kubernetes operators, across heterogeneous deployment environments.
• Experience architecting and landing agentic systems at scale, including designing MCP servers, agent governance models, or tool‑augmented LLM workflows that operate reliably in production with consistent user‑facing value‑add.
• Prior experience as a technical lead or system architect on a platform or infrastructure team with broad engineering org impact.

What We Offer

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance – 100% paid for by CoreWeave
• Company‑paid Life Insurance
• Voluntary supplemental life insurance
• Short and long‑term disability insurance
• Flexible Spending Account
• Health Savings Account
• Tuition Reimbursement
• Ability to Participate in Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP)
• Mental Wellness Benefits through Spring Health
• Family‑forming support provided by Carrot
• Paid Parental Leave
• Flexible, full‑service childcare support with Kinside
• 401(k) with a generous employer match
• Flexible PTO
• Catered lunch each day in our office and data center locations
• A casual work environment
• A work culture focused on innovative disruption

Our Workplace

While we prioritize a hybrid work environment, remote work may be considered for candidates located more than 30 miles from an office, based on role requirements for specialized skill sets. New hires will be invited to attend onboarding at one of our hubs within their first month. Teams also gather quarterly to support collaboration.
