CoreWeave is looking for a Senior Systems Engineer who is ready to evolve beyond traditional DevOps. You will start by stabilizing and scaling our Linux OS and Kernel build pipelines. Once the foundation is set, you will lead the transition to AI-native infrastructure , building "smart" workflows that don't just report errors, but understand and fix them.

You are a Systems Engineer at heart, but you are ready to apply LLMs, RAG, and predictive modeling to solve infrastructure challenges at scale.

Our Team’s Stack:

• Languages: Python, Go, bash/sh
• Observability: Prometheus, Victoria Metrics, Grafana
• OS & Kernel: Linux Kernel (custom build), Ubuntu
• Hardware: Intel/AMD/ARM CPUs, Nvidia GPUs, DPUs, Infiniband and Ethernet NICs
• Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes (k8s), KubeVirt, containerd, kubelet

Responsibilities:

• Pipeline Architecture: Design, maintain, and automate reproducible OS image build pipelines for our massive fleet of GPU-accelerated servers.
• Kernel Distribution: Collaborate with kernel engineers to package, validate, and distribute custom Linux builds across Intel, AMD, and ARM architectures.
• Dependency Management: Build tooling to manage dependencies, versioning, and release workflows, ensuring hermetic builds.
• Telemetry & Metrics: Standardize the collection of build metrics to create a baseline for future AI modeling.
• "Smart" CI/CD & Auto-Remediation: Architect AI agents that ingest and analyze build logs in real-time. Develop systems that auto-triage errors, categorize failure patterns, and generate context-aware fix suggestions for engineering teams.
• Predictive Regression Modeling: Design ML workflows that utilize historical performance data to detect kernel and OS regressions (latency, throughput, stability) in staging environments before they impact production.
• Dynamic Kernel Tuning: Implement closed-loop feedback systems that analyze real-time system metrics and automatically suggest or apply sysctl parameter optimizations for specific customer workloads.
• Next-Gen ChatOps: Engineer LLM-driven interfaces for Slack/internal tools, enabling stakeholders to query build statuses, request log summaries, or provision reso
