About the Team

The Developer Experience (DevEx) team owns the platform, services, and systems that enable every engineer at CoreWeave to build and ship software faster, more safely, and with greater confidence. This is a role for a technical leader who operates across team boundaries.

What You'll Do

• Define and drive the technical strategy for the DevEx platform, setting the long-term architectural direction across CI pipeline infrastructure, test experience, delivery systems, artifact management, and agentic developer tooling.
• Solve the highest-complexity developer productivity problems at CoreWeave, identifying systemic bottlenecks and designing solutions that operate reliably across 40+ data centers.
• Lead the agentic developer platform from a technical standpoint, evolving the architecture of MCP servers, tool integration, and agent-accessible DevEx APIs.
• Drive cross-team technical initiatives, working across DevEx, infrastructure, security, SRE, and product engineering to align on platform direction and establish engineering standards.
• Mentor and develop Senior II engineers, actively coaching ICs and elevating technical decision-making across the team.
• Proactively reduce systemic risk, identifying technical debt and reliability gaps before they become incidents.

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of software engineering experience with significant time spent building and owning production developer platforms, build infrastructure, or large-scale distributed systems.
• Demonstrated ability to define and execute multi-year technical strategies across complex, cross-team domains.
• Deep systems design expertise, with strong opinions on API design, service architecture, and platform abstractions.
• Proficiency in Go, Python, or similar languages with a track record of shipping large-scale production services in cloud-native environments.
• Expertise in Kubernetes and IaaC at the platform design level.
• Experience with or strong leadership interest in AI-native developer tooling, including agentic frameworks and LLM-integrated developer workflows.

Nice to Have

• Deep expertise in one or more DevEx domains, including large-scale CI, build and test systems, deployment, artifact storage and distribution, or ephemeral development environment infrastructure.
• Hands-on experience designing and operating progressive delivery systems at scale.
• Experience architecting and landing agentic systems at scale.
• Prior experience as a technical lead or system architect on a platform or infrastructure team with broad engineering org impact.

The base salary range for this role is $188,000 to $275,000. The starting salary will be determined based on job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and market location.
