We’re looking for an Engineer to join the Kubernetes Core Interfaces Team and help shape the next-generation control plane that will propel Core Weave into its next era of scale. You’ll join a tight-knit group of 6–8 highly skilled engineers and dive into the full spectrum of exciting, high-impact challenges that come with building a cloud from the ground up—all in a collaborative, supportive, and high-performance environment.

As a member of the Kubernetes Core Interfaces Team, you’ll have the opportunity to:

• Design and implement solutions to fascinating problems of scale and fault tolerance to simplify the administration and user experience of Core Weave’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.

• You have three or more years of experience in a software or infrastructure engineering industry.
• You have experience developing fault-tolerant, testable software services and are comfortable with the idea of using Go as your primary programming language.
• You have some experience using Kubernetes with a conceptual understanding of its major components and/or have administrated Kubernetes clusters.
• You know your way around a Linux distro, shell scripting, and/or the Linux storage and networking stacks.
• You’re excited about being part of a team of diverse perspectives and backgrounds that believe in tackling challenges, growing hand in hand, and winning together.

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.

At Core Weave, we work hard, have fun, and move fast! We’re in an exciting stage of hyper-growth that you will not want to miss out on.
