What You’ll Do:
The Physical AI Engineering Team at CoreWeave is responsible for building and scaling the core platform that powers the world’s most advanced engineering simulation and AI workflows. From evolving distributed architecture to enabling the next generation of agentic applications and physical AI, this team delivers the performant, reliable, and scalable foundation trusted by the world’s largest engineering companies.
About the role:
We’re seeking a Senior Software Engineer to help build and scale our platform as we meet growing demand from the world’s largest engineering companies. This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll deliver critical features and services across the full software lifecycle – from design and testing to deployment, operations, and reliability. You’ll contribute to our platform’s evolution to a more distributed architecture, helping make it agentic ready for the next generation of AI applications.
In this role, you will:
- Engineering & Architecture
- Contribute to the ongoing transition from monolithic to distributed architecture.
- Help design and implement architecture to be agentic ready, enabling rapid deployment of AI products and MCP server integrations.
- Make sound technical decisions for the components you own, balancing immediate needs with long-term goals.
- Hands-On Development
- Write production-quality Python code for critical platform components.
- Build and optimize distributed compute services.
- Implement reliable workflow orchestration patterns.
- Contribute to CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and deployment for platform services.
- Support reliability, observability, and SRE practices (monitoring, alerting, incident response, performance and scaling).
- Team Mentorship & Collaboration
- Support and mentor engineers, sharing knowledge across the team.
- Follow and help improve engineering best practices and patterns.
- Collaborate with product and engineering peers to turn requirements into technical solutions.
- Contribute to technical decision-making and prioritization within your team.
- Interview and onboard new engineers.
Who You Are:
- 6+ years of software engineering experience.
- Solid software engineering breadth across deployment and CI/CD, automated testing, and production reliability (observability, incident response).
- Experience with distributed systems, building and operating backend services end-to-end.
- Experience designing APIs and service interfaces.
- Security-minded development, including authentication/authorization (e.g., OAuth) and secure-by-default practices.
- Strong Python development skills with production experience.
- Experience with Kubernetes in production.
- Familiarity with workflow orchestration tools (Temporal, Airflow, Kubeflow, or similar).
- Cloud platform experience (AWS preferred, Azure & GCP a plus).
- Familiarity with data processing frameworks (Spark, Athena, Ray, or similar) a plus.
- Strong technical communication and collaboration skills.
Wondering if you’re a good fit? 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.
- Technical Excellence: You write clean, maintainable code and design systems that scale.
- Operational Rigor: You care about testing, deployments, and what happens after code ships – reliability, monitoring, and on-call health.
- Pragmatic Problem-Solver: You balance perfectionism with shipping, making smart trade-offs between short-term delivery and long-term goals.
- Strong Leadership: You proactively identify problems and drive solutions forward.
- Mentorship Mindset: You elevate others through knowledge sharing and patient guidance.
- Ownership Mentality: You take full responsibility for outcomes and drive initiatives to completion.
- Customer Obsession: You understand that our success is measured by our customers’ success.
