Senior Engineer, Network Observability

Overview

Senior Engineer for Network Observability — join CoreWeave’s Network Observability team. You will design, develop, and maintain the monitoring, telemetry, and observability systems that keep CoreWeave’s GPU cloud network operating reliably and at scale. You will build solutions that provide real-time insights into network performance and enable proactive issue detection and rapid resolution.

What You’ll Do

• Develop, optimize, and maintain network observability platforms. Use Python and Go to create and automate collectors, exporters, and dashboards that provide deep visibility into network health and performance.
• Collaborate with Network Engineering and Platform teams to ingest and unify logs, metrics, and events from Arista EOS, NVIDIA Cumulus Linux, Nokia SR OS, SR Linux, and other platforms into a single observability pipeline.
• Design and implement scalable telemetry solutions using protocols like gNMI, SNMP, and streaming analytics. Ensure advanced alerting and anomaly detection with Prometheus, Grafana, and Alertmanager.
• Work with network developers, site reliability engineers, and security teams to integrate observability across the broader infrastructure. Participate in design discussions, RFCs, and architectural decisions.
• Join a rotating on-call schedule to troubleshoot observability-related issues and provide timely support to operations teams, quickly isolating and fixing problems.
• Guide junior team members, share best practices, and foster a culture of continuous learning within the observability domain.

Who You Are — Minimum Qualifications

• Deep familiarity with Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager, gNMI, and SNMP. Experience writing or extending custom metric collectors/exporters is a plus.
• Experience as a Network Engineer, SRE, Software Developer, or Systems Administrator in large-scale environments with telemetry and monitoring deployments.
• Passion for automating tasks and reducing human error through automated workflows.
• Experience containerizing solutions in Kubernetes and deploying container-based workloads efficiently.
• Proficient with Python, Go, and Bash; familiarity with configuration management and templating tools (e.g., Ansible, Jinja2).
• Strong knowledge of Linux systems and IP networking concepts, including routing, switching, and network troubleshooting.
• Hands-on experience with platforms such as Arista EOS, NVIDIA Cumulus Linux, Nokia SR OS, and SR Linux.
• Collaborative, humble, and open to learning from more senior colleagues.

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field.
• Hands-on ML experience for anomaly detection in networks (e.g., TensorFlow, scikit-learn).
• Network certifications (e.g., CCNA, CCNP) or equivalent.
• Experience with data pipelines, event correlation, or large-scale analytics.
• Familiarity with OpenTelemetry, Jaeger, or Zipkin for distributed tracing.
