About The Position

We're seeking a talented and experienced Senior Network Developer to join our Network Development Team. In this role, you'll play a critical part in designing, developing, automating, and maintaining the networking software and infrastructure that powers CoreWeave’s GPU cloud.

Your goal? To make our network so highly automated and intelligent that you'll almost forget it's even there.

Work closely with software developers, system engineers, and security teams to ensure our network automation solutions mesh well with our cloud applications and internal services.

Oversee network projects from start to finish—planning, executing, and delivering network augments, upgrades, or new network vendor deployments. Participate in an on-call rotation, troubleshoot and resolve network-related issues, and provide timely support to the operations team. Share your knowledge and guide junior team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
