You'll help turn CoreWeave's storage from a follower of GPU growth into a multiplier of it: owning the data path and control plane for both file and block, running them on our own hardware fleet, and shipping the customer-facing capabilities that unblock petabyte-scale deals. You'll work closely with compute, platform, and infrastructure teams to make storage fast, reliable, and effortless to consume at scale.\nAbout the role:\nDesign, build, and operate highly scalable, multi-tenant file and block storage - from the data path (NFS for file; durable, high-performance block volumes) to the control plane that governs tenancy, provisioning, and data protection - running natively on CoreWeave's storage fleet and delivered through Kubernetes.\nOwn the file system data path: NFS hot-path reliability, IO resilience, and performance - including the small-file / IOPS-heavy workloads that AI pipelines depend on, and the throughput that keeps GPUs fed.\nBuild a native block storage service: durable, high-performance block volumes for customer workloads and internal stateful services - the third leg of the file/object/block triad, running on our own data path and shared storage hardware.\nDeliver both file and block as first-class Kubernetes citizens: design and ship a backend-neutral CSI driver with dynamic provisioning, resize, snapshots, and RWO block volumes, backed by a public provisioning SLO - reusing shared control-plane and CSI patterns across file and block rather than rebuilding per service.\nBuild the control plane: multi-tenant isolation, quota, QoS, snapshots, key management (BYOK), audit, and lifecycle policy - the capabilities that unblock regulated and enterprise customers (e.g., encryption in transit, HIPAA controls).\nImprove the reliability, durability, and observability of the storage stack; partner with operations to monitor, analyze, and optimize using telemetry, metrics, and dashboards to improve performance, latency, and resilience.\nWork cross-functionally with platform, product, and infrastructure teams to deliver seamless storage across the stack, including tiering cold data to lower-cost object storage while preserving access.\nShare your knowledge and mentor other engineers on best practices in building distributed, high-performance systems.\nWho You Are:\nBachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.\n6-10 years building storage systems, distributed systems, or infrastructure services.\nStrong hands-on experience with distributed or networked file systems and/or block storage in production - e.g., NFS/POSIX file semantics at scale, and/or block volume services (durability, snapshots, replication).\nDepth in the storage data path: IO performance, caching, small-file and metadata-heavy workloads, crash consistency, and resilience under load.\nExperience with multi-tenant services or storage control planes - provisioning, tenancy/quota, and data-protection features (snapshots, encryption, key management).\nProficiency in a systems/back-end language - Go strongly preferred (C or Rust a plus).\nExperience building on Kubernetes - controllers/operators, CRDs, and CSI (dynamic provisioning, resize, snapshots, RWO volumes).\nFamiliarity with distributed databases (e.g., CockroachDB), workflow orchestration (e.g., Temporal), and gRPC/Protobuf service design.\nIdeally, experience with distributed or parallel storage stacks such as Ceph/RBD, Lustre, GPFS/Spectrum Scale, BeeGFS, WEKA, VAST, or DAOS.\nFamiliarity with storage observability tools and telemetry pipelines (e.g., ClickHouse, Prometheus, Grafana).\nBonus: exposure to high-performance data-path technologies (RDMA, GPUDirect Storage, RoCE, InfiniBand, SPDK).\nStrong debugging and problem-solving skills in distributed, high-performance environments.\nClear communicator, able to work collaboratively across teams and share technical insights effectively.\nWondering if you're a good fit?\nWe 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.\nWhy CoreWeave?\nAt CoreWeave, we work hard, have fun, and move fast!
