About the role:

An engineering practice is only as healthy as its foundational dependencies and CoreWeave’s Kubernetes Infrastructure Team supports the platform and tools that underpin nearly every part of the cloud. Responsible for our internal Kubernetes-on-metal clusters in each datacenter, engineers on this team have the mission to manage and scale Kubernetes in one of one of the fastest growing clouds in the world. The domain of bare-metal day-0+ reliability engineering offers unique and rewarding challenges in orchestration, fleet operations, testing, observability and automation and every team member will have opportunities to develop their skills with Kuberenetes in an environment unique to being a cloud-builder, not just a cloud-consumer.

We are seeking a Senior Engineer to join the Kubernetes Infrastructure team and help us grow our orchestration platforms in scale, reliability, and featureset. This individual will join a team of 4-6 mixed-skill engineers and have the opportunity to work on the full gamut of rewarding challenges that come with the business of building a cloud in a communicative, supportive, and high-performing environment. As a member of the Kubernetes Infrastructure Team, you would have the opportunity to:

  • Design and implement solutions to fascinating problems of scale for provisioning and managing (many) bare-metal Kubernetes clusters in a hands-free, growing environment.
  • Develop a toolchain and program for testing and developing against a complex cloud environment at a scale that remains agile.
  • Create custom Kubernetes interfaces, gateways, and orchestrators all managed using Gitops tools such as Argo CD and Helm.
  • Improve the performance, security, and reliability of our internal Kubernetes platforms and participate in the Kubernetes Infrastructure on-call rotation.
  • Build dashboards, alerts, and insights into the customer experience using Grafana and Prometheus ecosystem tools.
  • Grow, change, invest in your teammates, be invested-in, share your ideas, listen to others, be curious, have fun, and, above all, be yourself.

Wondering if you’re a good fit? We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams – even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. Here are some qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. If a portion of this resonates with you, we’d love to talk. 

  • You have four or more years of experience in a software or infrastructure engineering industry
  • You have experience operating services in production and at scale.
  • You have some experience using Kubernetes with a conceptual understanding of its major components and/or have administered unmanaged (eg, not EKS/GKE) Kubernetes clusters with some form of automation such as KubeSpray.
  • You’re comfortable with the idea of using Go as your primary programming language.
  • You know your way around a Linux distro, shell scripting, and/or the Linux storage and networking stacks.
  • You’re interested in reliability engineering concepts such as the different types of testing, progressive deployments, error budgets, the role observability, and fault-tolerant design.
  • You can transform problems in elastic architectures, decompose them into achievable tasks, and socialize both to your teammates.
  • You’re excited about being part of a team of diverse perspectives and backgrounds that believe in tackling challenges, growing hand in hand, and winning together.

For government reporting purposes, we ask candidates to respond to the below self-identification survey. Completion of the form is entirely voluntary. Whatever your decision, it will not be considered in the hiring process or thereafter. Any information that you do provide will be recorded and maintained in a confidential file.

As set forth in CoreWeave’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
