Senior Software Engineer, Developer Experience

About the role

The Developer Experience (DevEx) team at CoreWeave owns the platform, services, and systems that enable every engineer to build and ship software faster, more safely, and with greater confidence. This is a high-leverage technical leadership role where you set technical direction for key DevEx platform subsystems, lead multi-quarter initiatives, and architect and evolve the agentic developer platform.

Responsibilities

• Set technical direction for key DevEx platform subsystems.
• Drive architectural decisions across CI pipeline infrastructure, test experience, artifact management, developer environments, and agentic tooling.
• Lead multi-quarter initiatives from design through production.
• Design and build the core services that power developer productivity.
• Build pipeline services, test experience platforms, progressive rollout systems, artifact registries, ephemeral development environments, and the APIs that tie them together.
• Architect and evolve our agentic developer platform.
• Elevate agentic DevEx capabilities so engineers can delegate development tasks and move faster in an AI-native way.
• Mentor Senior I and mid-level engineers, own design reviews, establish engineering patterns, and consistently raise the quality bar across the team.
• Lead post-mortems and drive continuous improvement cycles that harden DevEx systems against failure modes and reduce operational burden for engineering teams.

Requirements

• 7+ years of software engineering experience with building production platforms, developer tooling, delivery infrastructure, or distributed storage systems.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Strong systems design skills.

• Proven track record of setting technical direction, making sound architectural trade-offs, and driving engineering decisions that hold up as systems and teams scale.
• Effective cross-functional collaborator. You can align stakeholders, influence without authority, and translate complex technical trade-offs for technical and non-technical audiences alike.
• Experience mentoring engineers and consistently raising the technical quality bar of the teams you work on.

Qualifications

• Experience building or extending CI and build infrastructure at scale, including GitHub Actions, Buildkite, Bazel, or similar build systems.
• Experience designing and operating progressive delivery systems at scale, including SLO-based quality gates, automated multi-stage pipeline orchestration, and custom Kubernetes operators, across heterogeneous deployment environments.
• Hands-on experience with artifact management, including distributed storage, caching, versioning, or multi-region artifact distribution (e.g. JFrog Artifactory, Cloudsmith, or custom-built systems).
• Direct experience building agentic systems, including MCP servers, tool-augmented LLM workflows, and incorporating these capabilities into DevEx platform features with consistent value-add.
