CoreWeave
Rents GPU cloud computing for AI developers
The Network Services / DPU team at CoreWeave owns the high-performance network virtualization and hardware-offloaded datapath layers that power our global AI cloud. We design and build the infrastructure that eliminates communication bottlenecks for massive GPU clusters, ensuring multi-tenant workloads execute securely and at line-rate.
About the role:
As a Senior Engineer on the DPU team, you will lead a local team driving the test strategy and automation execution for our OVS-based datapath and related control-plane components. You will partner closely with DPU, networking, and platform engineering groups to turn dataplane validation into a reliable, repeatable service that gates production releases. This role involves designing sophisticated automation to orchestrate DPU/host configurations and OVS pipelines, integrating these test beds into CI/CD pipelines, and validating regression, functionality, and scalability for NVIDIA software releases. You will influence the long-term architecture of DPU datapath and control-plane designs for maximum testability, participate in rotating on-call structures, and work directly with strategic vendors like NVIDIA on escalations and hardware feature validation.
