About the role

Senior Specialist Field Engineer for Storage at CoreWeave, focusing on storage architectures and troubleshooting for AI-scale workloads, collaborating with Storage product and engineering teams, and engaging with customers through technical overviews, proofs of concept, and workshops.

Responsibilities

  • Design storage architecture for complex customers (shared filesystems, object storage, caching, multi-tenant isolation, cross-region data), including how it fails and what each failure affects.
  • Troubleshoot problems from the application's I/O pattern down through the NFS client, the CSI driver, the storage network, and the storage cluster itself.
  • Find where the product falls short for real workloads and work the gap through with engineering, as an extended member of the Storage team.
  • Lead customer technical overviews, proofs of concept, and customer workshops, with occasional travel.

Qualifications

  • B.S. in Computer Science or a related technical discipline, or equivalent experience.
  • 7+ years building or operating large-scale storage systems, as a storage, systems, or software engineer, or in a deeply technical storage-focused field role.
  • Solid working knowledge of NFS (v3 and v4, mount options such as nconnect, failure modes) and S3-compatible object storage.
  • Hands-on experience with a distributed or parallel filesystem such as VAST, WEKA, Lustre, or Spectrum Scale.
  • Deep understanding of Kubernetes storage: CSI drivers, PVs, PVCs, and StorageClasses, and how to troubleshoot them.
  • Very comfortable benchmarking with tools like fio and reading the results, and telling a metadata-bound workload from a bandwidth-bound one.
  • Ability to explain technical problems clearly to engineers and executives, and to build trust with customers.
