The role

As a Senior Software Engineer II (IC4) on the AI Workload Orchestration Platform team, you will help build and operate CoreWeave’s Kubernetes-native platform for admitting, scheduling, and operating AI workloads at scale.

This platform integrates multiple orchestration and scheduling frameworks such as Kueue, Volcano, and Ray to support modern AI training and inference workflows. It complements SUNK (Slurm on Kubernetes) by providing a Kubernetes-first, cloud-native orchestration layer with deep platform integration.

You will own meaningful components of the platform, drive reliability and performance improvements, and help scale the system as customer demand and workload complexity continue to grow.

What you will do

Design, build, and operate Kubernetes-native services for AI workload orchestration and scheduling
Own one or more platform components end-to-end, including design, implementation, testing, and on-call support
Improve scheduling latency, cluster utilization, and workload reliability through metrics-driven engineering
Contribute to architectural discussions across services and influence design decisions within the platform
Work closely with adjacent teams (CKS, infrastructure, managed inference) to ensure clean interfaces and integrations
Mentor junior engineers and raise the quality bar for code, design, and operations

What you need

5–8 years of professional software engineering experience in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, or platform engineering
Strong experience building production systems in Go (Python or C++ a plus)
Solid understanding of Kubernetes fundamentals, APIs, controllers, and operating services in production
Experience working with scheduling, resource management, or quota-based systems
Proven ability to improve system reliability and performance using data and operational metrics
Comfortable owning services in production and participating in on-call rotations
Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science, Engineering or related technical field.

Nice to have

Experience with Kubernetes-native orchestration frameworks such as Kueue, Volcano, Ray, Kubeflow, or Argo Workflows
Familiarity with GPU-based workloads, ML training, or inference pipelines
Knowledge of scheduling concepts such as quota enforcement, pre-emption, and backfilling
Experience with reliability practices including SLOs, alerting, and incident response
Exposure to AI infrastructure, HPC, or large-scale distributed compute environments

The base salary range for this role is $182,000.00 - $242,000.00. The starting salary will be determined based on job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and market location. We strive for both market alignment and internal equity when determining compensation. In addition to base salary, our total rewards package includes a discretionary bonus, equity awards, and a comprehensive benefits program (all based on eligibility).
