## Description

CoreWeave is The Essential Cloud for AI. 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.

## What You'll Do:

You'll help turn CoreWeave's storage from a follower of GPU growth into a multiplier of it: owning the data path and control plane for both file and block, running them on our own hardware fleet, and shipping the customer-facing capabilities that unblock petabyte-scale deals.

## Responsibilities:

- Design, build, and operate highly scalable, multi-tenant file and block storage , from the data path to the control plane that governs tenancy, provisioning, and data protection.

- Own the file system data path: NFS hot-path reliability, IO resilience, and performance.

- Build a native block storage service: durable, high-performance block volumes for customer workloads and internal stateful services.

- Deliver both file and block as first-class Kubernetes citizens: design and ship a backend-neutral CSI driver with dynamic provisioning, resize, snapshots, and RWO block volumes.

- Build the control plane: multi-tenant isolation, quota, QoS, snapshots, key management, audit, and lifecycle policy.

- Improve the reliability, durability, and observability of the storage stack; partner with operations to monitor, analyze, and optimize using telemetry, metrics, and dashboards.

- Work cross-functionally with platform, product, and infrastructure teams to deliver seamless storage across the stack.

- Share your knowledge and mentor other engineers on best practices in building distributed, high-performance systems.

- Work with technologies such as RDMA, GPU Direct Storage, RoCE, InfiniBand, SPDK, and distributed filesystems to optimize storage performance and efficiency.

## Requirements:

- 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.

- 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.

- Proficiency in a systems/back-end language , Go strongly preferred.

- Experience building on Kubernetes , controllers/operators, CRDs, and CSI.

- Familiarity with distributed databases, workflow orchestration, and gRPC/Protobuf service design.

## Benefits:

- Medical, dental, and vision insurance - 100% paid for by CoreWeave

- Company-paid Life Insurance

- Voluntary supplemental life insurance

- Short and long-term disability insurance

- Flexible Spending Account

- Health Savings Account

- Tuition Reimbursement

- Ability to Participate in Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP)

- Mental Wellness Benefits through Spring Health

- Family-Forming support provided by Carrot

- Paid Parental Leave

- Flexible, full-service childcare support with Kinside

- 401(k) with a generous employer match

- Flexible PTO

- Catered lunch each day in our office and data center locations

- A casual work environment

- A work culture focused on innovative disruption
