Senior Operations Engineer (MetalDev)

Join CoreWeave's MetalDev team as a Senior Operations Engineer. In this hands-on technical role, you will focus on service reliability, observability, and operational excellence. You will develop expertise in Redfish-based services and automation tools, identify gaps in tooling and processes, and collaborate with engineering teams. Approximately 80% of your time will be spent on day-to-day operations and production support, while the remaining 20% will focus on improving operational processes and documentation.

Identifying gaps in tooling and operational processes, partnering with the engineering team to develop and validate fixes, and ensuring automation operates reliably at scale.

About CoreWeave

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. Here are a few qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we’d love to talk

You enjoy working close to the hardware and are curious about how GPUs, servers, and data centers fit together

You thrive in infrastructure environments where reliability, performance, and automation matter as much as features

Responsibilities

• Troubleshooting team-owned services, diagnosing problems involving BMCs, servers, DPUs, power shelves, and Cooling Distribution Units (CDUs).
• Collaborating closely with Hardware Engineering, Fleet Operations, and Service Engineering teams to resolve complex or recurring production issues.

Requirements

• Experience deploying and supporting containerized applications in Kubernetes environments
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, particularly during high-impact incidents
• 5+ of experience in cloud operations, site reliability engineering (SRE), infrastructure operations, or a related technical field
• Experience troubleshooting complex issues across software services, operating systems, networks, and physical infrastructure

Strong documentation skills and attention to detail

• Experience participating in an on-call rotation supporting production services
• Experience using Prometheus, Grafana, and PromQL for monitoring, alerting, and troubleshooting
• Strong knowledge of Linux system administration and internals and scripting
• Working knowledge of Kubernetes and at least one public cloud platform, such as AWS or GCP
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a methodical approach to troubleshooting
• Experience with incident management practices, including incident response, escalation, and post-incident review processes
• You like collaborating across hardware, platform, and product teams to solve complex, ambiguous problems
• Experience with server hardware, BMCs, Redfish, IPMI, or hardware-management services

Understanding of Python or Golang

• Experience working in data center environments, including server racks, power-distribution equipment, and cooling systems
• Experience troubleshooting server provisioning, reboot, provisioning, or lifecycle-management failures
• Experience collaborating directly with hardware or firmware vendors to qualify and validate fixes
• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related discipline—or equivalent practical experience

Preferred

• Familiarity with high-performance computing, GPU infrastructure, DPUs, or large-scale AI clusters
