About the role
We're looking for a Senior Storage Engineer, File & Block to help build and operate the file and block storage services at the heart of CoreWeave's Storage team — the high-performance, multi-tenant storage that our largest AI training and inference workloads and internal stateful services run on.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field
- 6–10 years building storage systems, distributed systems, or infrastructure services
- Strong hands-on experience with distributed or networked file systems and/or block storage in production — e.g., NFS/POSIX file semantics at scale, and/or block volume services (durability, snapshots, replication)
- Depth in the storage data path: IO performance, caching, small-file and metadata-heavy workloads, crash consistency, and resilience under load
- Experience with multi-tenant services or storage control planes — provisioning, tenancy/quota, and data-protection features (snapshots, encryption, key management)
- Proficiency in a systems/back-end language — Go strongly preferred (C or Rust a plus)
