About the role:
If Kubernetes can be thought of as the engine powering CoreWeave’s success, then the Kubernetes Core Interfaces team is the transmission that connects that power to wheels of innovation. The Kubernetes Core Interfaces Team sits between the inherent complexities of a cloudscale Kubernetes infrastructure and the needs of our customers, internal and external, to compose and maintain the abstractions that support a reliable, scalable, and simple interface into CoreWeave’s products. Most notably, this team’s domain includes the services and APIs that govern CoreWeave’s cluster federation and scheduling strategies and which enable CoreWeave’s customers to have the effortless infrastructure consumption experience for which CoreWeave is best known.
We are seeking a Senior Engineer to join the Kubernetes Core Interfaces Team and help us build the next generation control plane that will enable CoreWeave to reach our next stratum of scale. This individual will join a team of 4-6 mixed-skill 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 Kubernetes Core Interfaces Team, you would 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.
