Senior Specialist Field Engineer (Kubernetes, Security, Storage, Compute Infrastructure)

What you’ll do

• Own the technical side of the customer relationship: architecture, proofs of concept, and deep debugging
• Work hand in hand with AI labs on large GPU Kubernetes clusters
• Feed field learnings back into the product

What they’re looking for

• Must live near San Francisco CA, Sunnyvale CA, or Bellevue WA
• Written a production Kubernetes operator (in Go or Rust)
• Experience securing large-scale infrastructure and tracing identity/isolation issues
• Built or run a parallel filesystem at scale and understand S3 internals
• Brought up and validated large GPU clusters on GB200/GB300-class hardware

Skills

• Kubernetes: production k8s operator, go, rust, GPU scheduling, device plugins, topology, MIG, RDMA, control plane scaling, Slurm, CNCF contributions
• Security: identity, isolation, IdP, kernel, network, threat modeling, SOC 2, FedRAMP, confidential computing, attestation, Falco, Tetragon, DPU, GPU, secure boot
• Storage: parallel filesystem, VAST, WEKA, Lustre, S3, NFS-over-TCP, checkpointing for AI training, CSI drivers, kernel NFS, Ceph
• Compute Infrastructure: GPU clusters, GB200, GB300, InfiniBand, RoCE, fabric validation, PXE boot, NCCL, firmware, BMC, BIOS, bare metal, Slurm

The post

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 | $182k-$275k base + bonus + equity

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.

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

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 [ https://grnh.se/7j1kydde6us ] 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 [ https://grnh.se/jxbek1o66us ] 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 [ https://grnh.se/137kuvyv6us ] 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 [ https://grnh.se/q3hmrcf56us ] You've brought up and validated large GPU clusters on GB200/GB300-class hardware, from InfiniBand/RoCE fabric validation thorugh PXE boot and NCCL acceptance. Bonus: firmware/BMC/BIOS, bare metal, Kubernetes, or Slurm.

If you're local and that's you, apply through the links above (they route to me) and mention HN.
