What You'll Do: We're looking for a Senior Storage Engineer, File & Block to help build and operate the file and block storage services at the heart of CoreWeave's Storage team — the high-performance, multi-tenant storage that our largest AI training and inference workloads and internal stateful services run on. You'll help turn CoreWeave's storage from a follower of GPU growth into a multiplier of it: owning the data path and control plane for both file and block, running them on our own hardware fleet, and shipping the customer-facing capabilities that unblock petabyte-scale deals. You'll work closely with compute, platform, and infrastructure teams to make storage fast, reliable, and effortless to consume at scale.

About the role: Design, build, and operate highly scalable, multi-tenant file and block storage — from the data path (NFS for file; durable, high-performance block volumes) to the control plane that governs tenancy, provisioning, and data protection — running natively on CoreWeave's storage fleet and delivered through Kubernetes.

  • Own the file system data path: NFS hot-path reliability, IO resilience, and performance — including the small-file / IOPS-heavy workloads that AI pipelines depend on, and the throughput that keeps GPUs fed.
  • Build a native block storage service: durable, high-performance block volumes for customer workloads and internal stateful services — the third leg of the file/object/block triad, running on our own data path and shared storage hardware.
  • Deliver both file and block as first-class Kubernetes citizens: design and ship a backend-neutral CSI driver with dynamic provisioning, resize, snapshots, and RWO block volumes, backed by a public provisioning SLO — reusing shared control-plane and CSI patterns across file and block rather than rebuilding per service.
  • Build the control plane: multi-tenant isolation, quota, QoS, snapshots, key management (BYOK), audit, and lifecycle policy — the capabilities that unblock regulated and enterprise customers (e.g., encryption in transit, HIPAA controls).
  • Improve the reliability, durability, and observability of the storage stack; partner with operations to monitor, analyze, and optimize using telemetry, metrics, and dashboards to improve performance, latency, and resilience.
  • Work cross-functionally with platform, product, and infrastructure teams to deliver seamless storage across the stack, including tiering cold data to lower-cost object storage while preserving access.
  • Share your knowledge and mentor other engineers on best practices in building distributed, high-performance systems.

Who You Are:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
  • 6–10 years building storage systems, distributed systems, or infrastructure services.
  • Strong hands-on experience with distributed or networked file systems and/or block storage in production — e.g., NFS/POSIX file semantics at scale, and/or block volume services (durability, snapshots, replication).
  • Depth in the storage data path: IO performance, caching, small-file and metadata-heavy workloads, crash consistency, and resilience under load.
  • Experience with multi-tenant services or storage control planes — provisioning, tenancy/quota, and data-protection features (snapshots, encryption, key management).
  • Proficiency in a systems/back-end language — Go strongly preferred (C or Rust a plus).
  • Experience bui
