About the role:

The Engineering Platforms Team functions as the lubricant that keeps CoreWeave’s gears of innovation turning fast and friction-free. This team is responsible for the development, integration, and operation of platforms central to the engineering experience with the ultimate objective of enabling engineers across CoreWeave to do more, better. Central to the Engineering Platforms mission is the operation of our observability, CI/CD, and service catalog systems which leverage CoreWeave’s deep investment in the Kubernetes ecosystem. Engineers on this team will endeavor to discover and remove engineer friction across CoreWeave’s engineering teams through the development of boilerplate, integrations, automation and the operation of shared platforms.

We are seeking a Senior Site Reliability Engineer who can help us execute on the mission of making developers’ lives easier. This individual will work with a team of 8-10 mixed-specialization 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 Engineering Platforms Team you would have the opportunity to:

• Design and implement services and tools to reduce friction and toil in the lives of our engineering and operations.

• Improve the performance, security, reliability, and scalability of our observability, CI/CD, and related services and participate in the Engineering Platforms on-call rotation.

• Create and maintain Kubernetes operators, custom controllers, and other tools to intelligently scale our operational capability.

• Develop dashboards, alerts, and insights into the customer experience using Grafana-ecosystem tools such as Mimir and Loki.

• Enable and evangelize the practice of reliability engineering across CoreWeave’s engineering teams.

• 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 enjoy helping your colleagues achieve more with less effort.

• You have experience operating services in production and at scale and are versed in reliability engineering concepts such as the different types of testing, progressive deployments, error budgets, the role observability, and fault-tolerant design.

• You’re familiar with Kubernetes and have interest or experience with using it for event-driven and/or stateful orchestration

• 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 can transform problems in elastic solutions, 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.
