Job Description

About the Role:

CoreWeave is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Systems Automation Engineer to join our Kernel HAVOCK Team, reporting to the Manager of Systems Engineering. In this role, you will play a crucial part in the design, development, and optimization of our bare-metal systems from POST through joining a Kubernetes cluster. The team’s primary responsibilities include maintaining a custom Linux kernel, various OS images (Ubuntu-based), the virtualization stack (kubevirt/qemu/vfio), and the container/pod runtime stack (containerd/nydus/kubelet). You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, upstack engineering teams, and stakeholders to successfully deliver highly performant and reliable software solutions.

  

Kernel Hardware - Acceleration - Virtualization - Operating Systems - Containerization - Kubelet

Our Team’s Stack:

  • Linux Kernel (custom build)
  • Intel/AMD CPUs, Nvidia GPUs, DPUs, Infiniband and Ethernet NICs
  • ARM CPUs
  • KubeVirt, QEMU, SR-IOV, vfio-pci
  • Ubuntu
  • Containerd, Kubelet

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and maintain tooling to support both stateless and stateful systems
  • Automate packaging of critical components (e.g. drivers, microcode, components with out-of-tree patches, etc)
  • Build long-lived, well documented tooling for automating various tasks related to the full lifecycle of systems (e.g. hardware/software inventory management, hardware diagnostics, performance benchmarking, etc)
  • Build and serve as point of contact for CI/CD pipelines for reproducible software builds, OS images, and kernel/OS-level testing
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define Linux and OS requirements, specifications, and system architecture

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of professional experience maintaining clusters of Linux servers
  • Fluency with a programming language geared toward automation (Python preferred, but others possible)
  • Experience adhering to structured release cycles
  • Experience building CI/CD pipelines (GitHub or GitLab)
  • Experiencing with implementing automation testing
  • Ability to effectively prioritize and communicate proposed features and fixes
  • Strong passion for automation, with a commitment to automating processes comprehensively
  • Excellent documentation skills and attention to detail
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities

Nice-to-haves:

  • Experience building and/or extending automation frameworks
  • Familiarity with Golang
  • Opinions about software version control and team collaboration
  • Experience writing software tests

Our compensation reflects the cost of labor across several US geographic markets. The base pay for this position ranges from $160,000-$185,000. Pay is based on a number of factors including market location and may vary depending on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
