What You’ll Do:
Applications Engineering, part of CoreWeave’s Data Infrastructure organization, builds the software CoreWeave uses to plan and operate its own infrastructure business. Some of that is UNION, our data platform, where anyone in the company can query the lakehouse in plain language and stand up their own dashboards, applications, and agents. The rest is the applications behind decisions like which data centers get which hardware and when, for a company adding gigawatts of capacity a year. Engineering, finance, supply chain, and data center operations all depend on what we ship.
About the role:
You will build full-stack applications, and features in UNION itself, and own all of it in production, from the interface down to the data model. Our stack is TypeScript with React and Next.js, Python services running on Kubernetes, and Postgres alongside the lakehouse. We care more that you have built and run this kind of software than which frameworks you built it in. A good share of the work is AI-facing, meaning natural language interfaces and agents that operate on governed data, plus the evaluation work that tells you whether they are any good. Owning a product area here means you sit with the people who run the process and work out with them what the software should do. You are also the one who answers for it when it breaks. Most of these processes have never been written down anywhere, so a fair amount of the job is working out what to build before you build it.
Who You Are:
4+ Years of professional software engineering experience.
Strong Python and TypeScript, with real experience in React, Next.js, or a comparable modern framework
Experience designing and running HTTP APIs that other services depend on, including timeouts, retries, and keeping writes correct when a call fails partway through
Strong SQL and relational data modeling, including schemas you had to change after they were already live
Experience shipping LLM-backed features to production, including how you measured whether their output was correct
Hands-on experience with containers and deployment tooling such as Docker, Helm, and Kubernetes, and with operating your own services
Experience wiring applications up to data platforms and analytical databases such as Spark, Kafka, StarRocks, or Snowflake

You work well at speed. Priorities here move with the business, and the problems worth solving tend to arrive on short notice
You want to know whether the AI in your product is any good, and you will build the evals to find out
You stand behind what you ship, whether you wrote it or a model helped you write it
