Staff Software Engineer (Network Development)

Join CoreWeave, one of the largest GPU clouds in the world, as a Staff Software Engineer in our Network Development team. In this role, you will design, build, and run the platforms and services that automate and monitor the network. You will spend most of your time 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. You will also mentor other engineers, review code and designs, and contribute to a positive team culture.

• Design, develop, and maintain platforms and services that automate network operations, including configuration generation, device provisioning, and workflow automation.
• Lead technical direction through RFCs, design reviews, and architecture decisions, and break ambiguous problems down into shippable work.
• Mentor other engineers, review code and designs, and help grow the technical skills of the team, while contributing to a positive, collaborative team 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
