Role OverviewYou'll be an early member of a small team, responsible for our Kubernetes-native research cluster platform, or the sandbox client for agentic training and evaluation, or possibly a new project altogether. The goal is specific: give every CoreWeave customer the research infrastructure that currently only exists inside frontier labs.
What You Will Do
Contribute to the roadmap for Applied Training — figure out what actually unlocks new workloads and what's just nice to have. Work directly and closely with customers, and other teams inside CoreWeave that are building cloud native primitives: compute, storage, networking, etc. Design and build a complete research cluster experience — CLI, job configuration schema, Kubernetes operators, daemons — solving the problems researchers actually hit: code distribution, checkpoint-triggered evaluation, cross-cluster scheduling, programmatic job control.
Why It Might Be a Fit
8–12+ years building distributed systems, ML infrastructure, or developer platforms. Real Kubernetes experience: custom controllers, operators, scheduling, CRDs, workload orchestration at scale — not just deploying things to Kubernetes or cluster administration.
Requirements
- 8–12+ years building distributed systems, ML infrastructure, or developer platforms
- Real Kubernetes experience: custom controllers, operators, scheduling, CRDs, workload orchestration at scale
- Understanding of what makes researchers productive: code distribution matters, fast iteration cycles matter, workflows that don't require becoming infrastructure experts matter
- Familiarity with training: how distributed jobs get scheduled, how ranks initialize, what breaks at scale
- Shipped infrastructure that other people rely on daily — not prototypes, production systems
- Strong communicator who can work with customers and translate researcher complaints into system designs
