Production Engineering ensures CoreWeave’s cloud delivers world-class reliability, performance, and operational excellence. We are hiring a Senior Production Engineer to take direct, hands-on ownership of critical tooling that drives reliability and delivery success.

In this role, you will work broadly across the cloud stack designing, implementing, deploying, and operating systems that improve delivery velocity, service availability, and operational safety. You’ll be responsible for leading end-to-end technical projects, maintaining long-lived systems the team owns, and strengthening our operational foundations through durable engineering investments.

This is a role for someone who enjoys building, debugging, and operating production systems. You will collaborate closely with service owners, but your primary impact comes from the reliability, quality, and maturity of the systems you deliver and maintain over time.

• →Collaborate with platform teams to ensure new features and services integrate cleanly with our reliability best-practices and tooling.

• 7+ years of engineering experience building and operating distributed systems or cloud platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to debug complex production issues end-to-end, across services, infrastructure layers, and automation.
• Strong programming or scripting ability (Python, Go, or similar), with experience shipping and operating production services and tools.
• Deep knowledge of cloud-native technologies and distributed system patterns, particularly Kubernetes.
• Experience with modern observability stacks: metrics, tracing, structured logs, SLOs/SLIs, and incident lifecycle practices.
• A track record of successfully delivering hands-on reliability improvements through engineering execution.

• Experience building internal tooling, frameworks, or automation that supports high-availability cloud operations.
• Familiarity with DR/BCP, service tiering, capacity planning, or chaos engineering.
