Senior Software Engineer
CoreWeave — New Jersey, United States · Hybrid · Senior · $153k - $204k/yearly
Role description
Role Overview
The Runtime & GPU Systems team builds and operates secure, high-performance environments for multi-tenant Kubernetes platforms at scale. Our team sits at the intersection of container runtimes, lightweight virtualization, GPU infrastructure, and Linux systems engineering.
What You Will Do
Design, build, and evolve secure sandboxed runtime environments for Kubernetes workloads, focusing on runtime isolation, performance, and security. Develop GPU-aware sandboxing and scheduling strategies, optimize containerization and I/O performance for latency-sensitive workloads, and influence architectural decisions across Linux internals, container runtimes, virtualization layers, and GPU drivers.
Why It Might Be a Fit
We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams – even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. We support and encourage an entrepreneurial outlook and independent thinking. We foster an environment that encourages collaboration and enables the development of innovative solutions to complex problems.

- Experience supporting GPU-accelerated workloads in multi-tenant environments
- Proficient in systems-oriented programming (Go, C/C++, Rust, Bash) with strong Linux internals knowledge
