Senior Engineer I

About the role

CoreWeave is The Essential Cloud for AI™. Built for pioneers by pioneers, CoreWeave delivers a platform of technology, tools, and teams that enables innovators to build and scale AI with confidence. You will own the design and evolution of large-scale data ingestion, storage, and querying systems that power AI/ML experiment tracking and analytics. This role involves architecting and optimizing distributed systems and backend services to drive improvements in performance, reliability, scalability, and cost-efficiency across petabyte-scale datasets. You will implement and enhance customer-facing APIs using modern programming languages and storage technologies while building, deploying, and operating services on Kubernetes-based infrastructure. You will diagnose and resolve complex production issues related to distributed systems, data pipelines, and storage/query performance. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to define technical requirements, design system architectures, and deliver new platform capabilities. You will mentor junior engineers by providing technical guidance, code reviews, design feedback, and best practices for high-quality software development.
