Senior Software Engineer, Data Center Infrastructure Tooling

About the role

The CoreWeave team is building one of the world's largest AI-focused cloud infrastructure platforms. We're standing up new data centers at an extraordinary pace, and the complexity of planning, tracking, and orchestrating each build demands purpose-built tooling that doesn't exist today. We're forming a new team dedicated to building that tooling in-house.

Responsibilities

• Data models and APIs that capture the complexity of datacenter infrastructure: devices, connectivity, cabling, power, cooling, and spatial relationships across racks, rows, and floors.
• High-throughput API services in Go (gRPC, GraphQL, and/or REST) that support the data density and interaction speed the frontend demands, including complex filtering, aggregation, and bulk operations across large datasets.
• Backend architecture from the ground up: service structure, data access patterns, caching strategy, and API contracts designed to scale with the team and product scope.
• Integrations with internal/external systems and data sources that feed infrastructure planning, ensuring the platform reflects real-world state and planned builds accurately.
• Deployment and operational infrastructure for the services you build, including Kubernetes manifests, CI/CD pipelines, observability, and reliability practices.

Requirements

• Strong proficiency in Go.
• Deep experience with relational databases, specifically PostgreSQL and CockroachDB.
• Experience designing and building APIs (gRPC, GraphQL, and REST).
• Proven experience of performance optimization on the backend.
• Experience owning deployment and operations for the services you build.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 5+ years of professional backend engineering experience, with meaningful senior-level ownership of production systems and the data layers behind them.

Skills

• Genuine curiosity about (or direct experience with) physical datacenter infrastructure.
• Strong data modeling instincts.
• Ability to work directly with infrastructure engineers.
