Software Engineer, Inference

CoreWeave is an AI cloud built for high-performance GPU workloads across AI/ML, VFX, rendering, and real-time inference. Our stack is engineered for speed, scale, and cost efficiency—providing a powerful alternative to traditional hyperscalers. Infrastructure is our product, and we operate it at a massive scale to power the most demanding workloads.

As a Junior Software Engineer (IC1/IC2) on the Inference team, you’ll own a single production service end-to-end shipping features, maintaining dashboards/alarms, and improving operational excellence. You’ll collaborate with peers across runtime, scheduling, and networking to move key SLIs.

• →Own one model-serving service end-to-end: design, implementation, tests, deployment, and ops.
• →Add and tune observability (dashboards, alerts, traces); automate runbook steps to reduce toil.
• →Improve latency/throughput via micro-batching, concurrency tuning, and caching.
• →Participate in on-call; lead post-incident action items for your service.
• →Review peers’ PRs and contribute design feedback in team reviews.

What we’re looking for

• →0–3 years of software engineering experience (or equivalent) building cloud/distributed services in production.
• →Proficiency in Python or Go; familiarity with gRPC/HTTP APIs and containerized deployments.
• →Working knowledge of Kubernetes (or Slurm/Ray) and CI/CD pipelines.
• →Experience with metrics/alerting (Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry) and structured logging.
• →Basic understanding of GPU inference concepts (KV caching, mixed precision, streaming tokens).

• Experience with inference frameworks (Triton, vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Ray Serve, TorchServe).
• Hands-on performance profiling/benchmarking (e.g., wrk, vegeta, perf, Nsight).
• Contributions to reliability practices: SLI/SLOs or postmortem improvements.

Help shape an industry-defining inference platform that enables teams to deploy generative AI and real-time applications at scale. If optimizing tail latency and delivering reliable model serving excites you, this is the place to build.
