Senior Software Engineer, Storage (File & Block)

About the role

CoreWeave's Storage team builds the file and block storage that powers the world's largest AI training and inference workloads. As a Senior Software Engineer, you will work on the NFS file data path, durable block volumes, and the Go-based control plane that governs these services, all delivered through Kubernetes.

Responsibilities

• Independently deliver well-scoped components across the file and block stack, working alongside senior and staff engineers who own the architecture.
• Build and improve control plane services in Go: provisioning, tenancy, quota, snapshots, and lifecycle policy for file and block storage.
• Contribute to the file system data path: reliability, IO performance, and small-file workloads critical to AI pipelines.
• Help deliver file and block as first-class Kubernetes citizens: CSI driver features such as dynamic provisioning, resize, and snapshots.
• Improve reliability, durability, and observability of the storage stack with telemetry, metrics, and dashboards.
• Debug production issues in distributed, high-performance systems and turn findings into lasting fixes.
• Work cross-functionally with compute, platform, and infrastructure teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 4-6 years building distributed systems, storage systems, or infrastructure services.
• Production experience with storage, databases, or file systems: as a builder, not just a user.
• Proficiency in a systems language: Go preferred, Rust or C++ a plus.
• Working knowledge of Kubernetes and cloud-native infrastructure.
• Understanding of distributed systems fundamentals: consistency, replication, failure handling.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Clear communicator, able to work collaboratively across teams.

Qualifications

• Preferred exposure to NFS, POSIX file semantics, block volumes, or CSI.
• Storage observability tools: Prometheus, Grafana, ClickHouse.
• Distributed databases or storage engines: CockroachDB, RocksDB, or similar.
