Software Engineer, Observability

About the role

The Observability team builds and operates CoreWeave’s logging, tracing, and metrics platforms, along with the high-throughput data pipelines that power them. This team enables both internal engineers and customers to monitor, troubleshoot, and optimize AI workloads running on GPU-dense infrastructure at massive scale.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable systems that process and surface telemetry data across distributed environments.
• Contribute production-quality code in languages like Go and Python, while improving system reliability through enhanced monitoring, alerting, and incident response practices.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to implement observability best practices, support production systems, and help optimize performance across large-scale infrastructure.
• Participate in on-call rotations and contribute to continuous improvements based on real-world system behavior.

Requirements

• 2+ years of experience in Software Engineering, Site Reliability Engineering, DevOps, or a related field.
• Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language (e.g., Python, Go).
• Experience working with Kubernetes, containerization, and microservices architectures.
• Experience participating in on-call rotations, including triaging and escalating production issues.
• Hands-on experience using observability systems (metrics, logging, tracing) to debug distributed systems.

Qualifications

• Operating observability platforms or databases (e.g., ClickHouse, Elastic, Loki, VictoriaMetrics, Prometheus, Thanos, OpenTelemetry, Grafana).
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform.
• Experience with modern testing frameworks and deployment strategies (e.g., canary, blue-green).
• Experience with data streaming technologies (e.g., Kafka, Kafka Connect).
• Exposure to AI/ML infrastructure, including GPU-based systems, large-scale training/inference workloads, or MLOps tooling.
