What You’ll Do
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Identity & Access Management (IAM) team, you will play a key role in designing, building, scaling, and maintaining CoreWeave’s rapidly expanding IAM platform. You will leverage your experience in distributed systems to design, extend, and harden a platform that secures our high-performance cloud infrastructure. You’ll be working at the intersection of design, developer experience, and platform architecture to help scale our services to the next order of magnitude.

Architect and build high-scale, low-latency distributed systems that power CoreWeave’s identity, authentication and authorization services
Design and implement customer-facing and internal APIs and backend services that underpin our IAM platform
Optimize system performance to ensure that services remain highly available and performant under unpredictable load patterns
Collaborate cross-functionally with stakeholders across the business, including product managers, designers and TPMs, to shape the team’s strategy and roadmap
Drive operational excellence by participating in on-call rotations and building automated tooling for monitoring, alerting, and incident response
Demonstrate and shape best-practices in software engineering by embracing AI for development, insisting on maintainable and testable code, and participating in thorough code reviews
Work with incredible people in a supportive, iterative, high-trust, agile environment
