Staff Software Engineer (Network Development)
- Source: Coreweave

- Full-Time
- Staff
Job Description
- CoreWeave runs one of the largest GPU clouds in the world, and the network underneath it has to be fast, reliable, and almost entirely self-operating. Our Network Development team builds the software that makes that possible
- We design, build, and run the platforms and services that provision, configure, automate, monitor, and heal the network, so that the people relying on it rarely have to think about it
- We are looking for a Staff Software Engineer to take ownership of these systems
- This is a software engineering role at its core
- You will spend most of your time designing and writing production software, setting technical direction, and raising the quality bar for the team
- A solid understanding of networking fundamentals is required, but deep network engineering expertise is not
- This role is about building the software that operates the network
- Own the design, development, and long-term health of the platforms and services that automate the network, including config generation, device provisioning, workflow automation, observability tooling, and internal CLIs and APIs
- Plan and map out complex projects months in advance, sequencing the work, anticipating dependencies, and keeping several efforts moving in parallel
- Lead technical direction through RFCs, design reviews, and architecture decisions, and break ambiguous problems down into shippable work
- Write well-tested, well-documented software in Python and Go, and set the standard for quality across the team through strong test cases, clear error handling, and solid CI/CD practices
- Improve the reliability and operability of what we run by defining service-level indicators and objectives and relentlessly reducing manual toil through automation
- Partner closely with Network Engineering, Observability, Fleet Engineering, and HPC teams so our automation fits cleanly into the wider system
- Join the on-call rotation once you are ramped, and help drive calm, blameless follow-up when things break
- Mentor other engineers, review code and designs, and help grow the technical skills of the team
- Contribute to a positive, collaborative team and organizational culture- Strong understanding of managing runtime health for services and applications at an enterprise level
- A love of process automation and toil elimination, with hands-on experience building workflow automation or orchestration systems and automated device provisioning at scale such as Zero Touch Provisioning
- 8 or more years of professional software engineering experience, ideally building and operating production infrastructure, platform, or backend systems at scale
- Strong planning skills, including the ability to lay out and drive projects across a multi-month horizon while keeping several concurrent efforts moving as part of a team
- Strong, well-reasoned technical opinions, paired with genuine openness to better ideas and other people’s input
- Strong proficiency in Python and Go
- Excellent written communication, a habit of writing documentation other people can actually use, and experience mentoring engineers and collaborating across teams
- Solid understanding and experience in CI/CD (testing, code review, maintaining continuous builds and deployments)
- A solid understanding of core networking fundamentals, including IP addressing and subnetting, routing/switching, NTP, and DNS
- Comfort with Linux and Kubernetes, and experience with infrastructure automation tooling such as Ansible and Jinja, a source-of-truth or IPAM and DCIM system such as NetBox, and observability tooling such as Prometheus and Grafana
- 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 a few qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we’d love to talk
- A degree in Computer Science or a related field is a plus
- You explain the reasoning behind your technical choices, stay open to being convinced otherwise, and pick the right tool for the job rather than defending a favorite
- You see a problem and solve it without waiting to be asked, and you always look for ways to make things easier, faster, and more secure
- You treat problems as shared problems, keep incident culture blameless, and give credit generously
