Senior Specialist Field Engineer

CoreWeave | Senior Specialist Field Engineers (Kubernetes, Security, Storage, Compute Infrastructure)

Full-time | Hybrid: 3 days/week in office — San Francisco, CA; Sunnyvale, CA; or Bellevue, WA
Compensation: $182k–$275k base + bonus + equity

About the Role

I run the US West Specialist Field Engineering team at CoreWeave. We work hand in hand with the labs pushing the boundaries of AI, on some of the largest GPU Kubernetes clusters in the world. Specialist Field Engineers own the technical side of the customer relationship: architecture, proofs of concept, and the hard debugging nobody else can do. What you learn in the field feeds straight back into the product.

Location & Work Model

• Must live near one of the cities above.
• This is a hybrid role, and we do not offer relocation.

Requirements

Must have deep experience in these areas. It's in the title. The work we do goes exceptionally deep, and we need people who are already experts in one of these areas.

• Kubernetes — Apply
  You've written a production k8s operator, in Go or Rust. Bonus: GPU scheduling (device plugins, topology, MIG, RDMA), control plane scaling at thousands of nodes, Slurm, CNCF contributions.

• Security — Apply
  You've secured large-scale infrastructure and can trace an identity or isolation problem from the IdP, through the kernel and network, into Kubernetes. Bonus: threat modeling against SOC 2/FedRAMP, confidential computing and attestation, Falco/Tetragon, DPU/GPU/secure boot.

• Storage — Apply
  You've built or run a parallel filesystem (VAST, WEKA, Lustre) at scale, and can explain in detail how S3 works under the hood. Bonus: NFS-over-TCP debugging at scale, checkpointing for AI training, CSI drivers, kernel NFS/Lustre/Ceph contributions.

• Compute Infrastructure — Apply
  You've brought up and validated large GPU clusters on GB200/GB300-class hardware, from InfiniBand/RoCE fabric validation through PXE boot and NCCL acceptance. Bonus: firmware/BMC/BIOS, bare metal, Kubernetes, or Slurm.
