What You'll Do:


We're looking for an Engineer to join the Kubernetes Core Interfaces Team and help shape the next-generation control plane that will propel CoreWeave into its next era of scale. You'll join a tight-knit group of 6-8 highly skilled engineers and dive into the full spectrum of exciting, high-impact challenges that come with building a cloud from the ground up-all in a collaborative, supportive, and high-performance environment.

About the role:


As a member of the Kubernetes Core Interfaces Team, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Design and implement solutions to fascinating problems of scale and fault tolerance to simplify the administration and user experience of CoreWeave's Kubernetes platforms.
• Develop Helm charts, custom controllers, resource definitions, gateways, API endpoints, and other Kubernetes control plane components.
• Create test plans, deployment automation, dashboards, alerts, and insights into our product's operations as well as participate in the Kubernetes Core Interfaces on-call rotation.
• Grow, change, invest in your teammates, be invested-in, share your ideas, listen to others, be curious, have fun, and, above all, be yourself.

Who You Are:

• You have three or more years of experience in a software or infrastructure engineering industry
• You have experience developing fault-tolerant, testable software services and are comfortable with the idea of using Go as your primary programming language.
• You have some experience using Kubernetes with a conceptual understanding of its major components and/or have administrated Kubernetes clusters.
• You know your way around a Linux distro, shell scripting, and/or the Linux storage and networking stacks.
• 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.

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.
