Role summary
CoreWeave is seeking Senior Specialist Field Engineers to join their team in San Francisco, Sunnyvale, or Bellevue. This hybrid role focuses on the technical aspects of customer relationships, including architecture and complex debugging, within large-scale GPU Kubernetes clusters. The ideal candidate will be an expert in one of the following areas: Kubernetes (with Go or Rust operator experience), Security (large-scale infrastructure, identity/isolation tracing, threat modeling), Storage (parallel filesystems, S3), or Compute Infrastructure (GPU cluster bring-up). Experience with AI infrastructure and cloud architecture is highly valued.
CoreWeave | Senior Specialist Field Engineers (Kubernetes, Security, Storage, Compute Infrastructure) | Full-time | Hybrid, 3 days/week in office: San Francisco CA, Sunnyvale CA, or Bellevue WA | $182k-$275k base + bonus + equity
I run the US West Specialist Field Engineering team at CoreWeave. We work hand in hand with the labs pushing the boundaries of AI, on some of the largest GPU Kubernetes clusters in the world. Specialist Field Engineers own the technical side of the customer relationship: architecture, proofs of concept, and the hard debugging nobody else can do. What you learn in the field feeds straight back into the product.
Must live near one of the cities above. This is a hybrid role, and we do not offer relocation.
Must have deep experience in these areas. It's in the title. The work we do goes exceptionally deep, and we need people who are already experts in one of these areas.
* Kubernetes [ https://grnh.se/7j1kydde6us ] You've written a production k8s operator, in go or rust. Bonus: GPU scheduling (device plugins, topology, MIG, RDMA), control plane scaling at thousands of nodes, Slurm, CNCF contributions.
* Security [ https://grnh.se/jxbek1o66us ] You've secured large-scale infrastructure and can trace an identity or isolation problem from the IdP, through the kernel and network, into Kubernetes. Bonus: threat modeling against SOC 2/FedRAMP, confidential computing and attestation, Falco/Tetragon, DPU/GPU/secure boot.
* Storage [ https://grnh.se/137kuvyv6us ] You've built or run a parallel filesystem (VAST, WEKA, Lustre) at scale, and can explain in detail how S3 works under the hood. Bonus: NFS-over-TCP debugging at scale, checkpointing for AI training, CSI drivers, kernel NFS/Lustre/Ceph contributions.
* Compute Infrastructure [ https://grnh.se/q3hmrcf56us ] You've brought up and validated large GPU clusters on GB200/GB300-class hardware, from InfiniBand/RoCE fabric validation thorugh PXE boot and NCCL acceptance. Bonus: firmware/BMC/BIOS, bare metal, Kubernetes, or Slurm.
If you're local and that's you, apply through the links above (they route to me) and mention HN.
