What You’ll Do

The Cloud Platform team is a high-visibility team responsible for the interfaces to our customer-facing products. We own our cloud developer experience, providing our customers observability into their cloud resources and enabling effective, cohesive interfaces to manage them via our Console UI, REST/gRPC API, Infrastructure-as-code, CLI and SDKs. We also own our billing platform and administrative tools for internal and external customers. We’re looking to grow our team across multiple experience levels to meet the growing demand for CoreWeave services.

As a Staff Software Engineer, Frontend, you will play a critical role in defining and evolving the frontend architecture that powers CoreWeave’s Cloud Platform.
