What You’ll Do
As a Senior Software Engineer on IDP you will lead the design and delivery of foundational platform services that enable Agentic Developer Workflows and the AI Tools Management control plane. You will be a technical leader for MCP server architecture, the MCP registry, spec-driven developer experiences, and the agentic orchestration layers that safely automate high-impact workflows across the inner dev loop, integration loop, and deployment loop. You will also mentor more junior engineers and help define the safety, governance, and operational standards that scale across CoreWeave.
In this role, you will
- Architect, build, and operate the MCP hosting platform and the MCP Registry with strong lifecycle, versioning and governance semantics. Provide templates, SDKs, and reference implementations for internal teams.
- Lead end-to-end design for agentic experiences (inner loop assistants, post-PR integration agents, release/incident copilots), ensuring reproducibility, explainability, and safe autonomy configuration.
- Drive spec-driven development patterns across the platform: make specs first-class, build structured retrieval and test generation pipelines, and ensure agent outputs are validated automatically against specs and policy gates.
- Define and enforce operational guardrails: human-in-the-loop by default, policy enforcement gates (static analysis, vulnerability checks), observability, audit trails, and drift detection. Ensure agents cannot perform forbidden or unsafe autonomous behaviors without explicit configuration.
- Build the AI Tools Management Control Plane capabilities (usage/spend tracking, policy engines, agentic optimization), and integrate telemetry/dashboards for visibility and automated decisioning. Optionally lead pilots that surface ROI and spend savings.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with DevEx, SRE, Security, Product, and teams exposing MCP servers; influence roadmap and take ownership of complex initiatives. Mentor engineers, lead design reviews, and drive high quality delivery.
