## About CoreWeave

CoreWeave is an AI cloud built for high-performance GPU workloads across AI/ML, VFX, rendering, and real-time inference. Our stack is engineered for speed, scale, and cost efficiency—providing a powerful alternative to traditional hyperscalers. Infrastructure is our product, and we operate it at a massive scale to power the most demanding workloads.

## About the role

As a Junior Software Engineer (IC1/IC2) on the Inference team, you’ll own a single production service end-to-end shipping features, maintaining dashboards/alarms, and improving operational excellence. You’ll collaborate with peers across runtime, scheduling, and networking to move key SLIs.

## What you’ll do

- Own one model-serving service end-to-end: design, implementation, tests, deployment, and ops.
- Add and tune observability (dashboards, alerts, traces); automate runbook steps to reduce toil.
- Improve latency/throughput via micro-batching, concurrency tuning, and caching.
- Participate in on-call; lead post-incident action items for your service.
- Review peers’ PRs and contribute design feedback in team reviews.

## What we’re looking for

- 0–3 years of software engineering experience (or equivalent) building cloud/distributed services in production.
- Proficiency in Python or Go; familiarity with gRPC/HTTP APIs and containerized deployments.
- Working knowledge of Kubernetes (or Slurm/Ray) and CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience with metrics/alerting (Prometheus/Grafana/OpenTelemetry) and structured logging.
- Basic understanding of GPU inference concepts (KV caching, mixed precision, streaming tokens).

## Nice to have

- Experience with inference frameworks (Triton, vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Ray Serve, TorchServe).
- Hands-on performance profiling/benchmarking (e.g., wrk, vegeta, perf, Nsight).
- Contributions to reliability practices: SLI/SLOs or postmortem improvements.

## Why CoreWeave

Help shape an industry-defining inference platform that enables teams to deploy generative AI and real-time applications at scale. If optimizing tail latency and delivering reliable model serving excites you, this is the place to build.

## Benefits (highlights)

- 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision
- 401(k) with a generous match
- Flexible PTO and a remote-friendly culture
- Work with top talent in a culture of curiosity, ownership, and innovation
