About the Role
Design, build, and operate highly scalable, multi-tenant file and block storage services at the heart of CoreWeave's Storage team. You will own the data path and control plane for both file and block storage, running them on CoreWeave's hardware fleet, and shipping customer-facing capabilities that enable petabyte-scale deals. You will collaborate with compute, platform, and infrastructure teams to make storage fast, reliable, and effortless to consume at scale.
Responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate highly scalable, multi-tenant file and block storage, from the data path to the control plane, running natively on CoreWeave's storage fleet and delivered through Kubernetes.
- Own the file system data path, focusing on NFS hot-path reliability, IO resilience, and performance for AI pipelines and GPU feeding.
- Build a native block storage service for customer workloads and internal stateful services.
- Deliver file and block storage as first-class Kubernetes citizens via a backend-neutral CSI driver with dynamic provisioning, resize, snapshots, and RWO block volumes.
- Build the control plane, including multi-tenant isolation, quota, QoS, snapshots, key management, audit, and lifecycle policy.
- Improve the reliability, durability, and observability of the storage stack, partnering with operations to optimize performance and resilience.
- Work cross-functionally with platform, product, and infrastructure teams to deliver seamless storage across the stack, including data tiering.
- Share knowledge and mentor other engineers on best practices for building distributed, high-performance systems.
- Work with technologies such as RDMA, GPU Direct Storage, RoCE, InfiniBand, SPDK, and distributed filesystems.
- Participate in efforts to improve the reliability, durability, and observability of our storage stack.
- Collaborate with operations teams to monitor, analyze, and optimize storage systems.
- Work cross-functionally with platform, product, and infrastructure teams to deliver seamless storage capabilities across the stack.
- Share your knowledge and mentor other engineers on best practices in building distributed, high-performance systems.
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.
- Proficiency in a systems/back-end language, Go strongly preferred (C or Rust a plus).
- Experience building on Kubernetes — controllers/operators, CRDs, and CSI.
- Familiarity with distributed databases, workflow orchestration, and gRPC/Protobuf service design.
- Ideally, experience with distributed or parallel storage stacks such as Ceph/RBD, Lustre, GPFS/Spectrum Scale, BeeGFS, WEKA, VAST, or DAOS.
- Familiarity with storage observability tools and telemetry pipelines.
- Bonus: exposure to high-performance data-path technologies (RDMA, GPUDirect Storage, RoCE, InfiniBand, SPDK).
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills in distributed, high-performance environments.
- Clear communicator, able to work collaboratively across teams and share technical insights effectively.
- This position requires access to export controlled information and applicants must meet U.S. Government export regulations.
