Software Engineer, Gateway & Networking Infrastructure
CoreWeave
New York, New York
Full-Time
$182,000
OfficeExecutive
The Cloud Platform API team builds the platform and infrastructure that front CoreWeave's control plane. This role sits with the group that owns the API Gateway (the single secure front door for control-plane traffic) and the Kubernetes Gateway, one secure endpoint into every CoreWeave Kubernetes Service (CKS) cluster control plane, public or private. The team runs the Envoy and Kubernetes Gateway API stack that carries every customer, CLI, console, and Terraform request. This is high-leverage infrastructure at CoreWeave: the gateway is the choke point, and its latency and availability are what customers perceive as the platform's.
As a Senior Engineer on the Cloud Platform API team, you'll design and operate the gateways that front the entire control plane. You'll drive large-scale networking migrations, such as moving from NGINX/HAProxy to Envoy across every zone with no customer-visible regression, and own routing, TLS/mTLS, rate limiting, and observability across the stack. You'll set technical direction for how the team runs its infrastructure, anticipate problems before they turn into incidents, and help stand up new customer-facing features for this infra. You'll also mentor other engineers, lead post-mortems, and act as a trusted advisor across teams like CKS, VPC, IAM, Cloud Console, and more. This role sits on a technical-leadership track, and we especially welcome engineers interested in eventually leading or managing a team.
