About the role

You'll set technical direction for how the team runs its infrastructure, anticipate problems before they turn into incidents, and help stand up new customer-facing features for this infra.
This role sits on a technical-leadership track, and we especially welcome engineers interested in eventually leading or managing a team.
Set technical direction across the gateway stack and define the engineering standards the team follows.

The Cloud Platform API team builds the platform and infrastructure that front CoreWeave's control plane.
This role sits with the group that owns the API Gateway (the single secure front door for control-plane traffic) and the Kubernetes Gateway, one secure endpoint into every CoreWeave Kubernetes Service (CKS) cluster control plane, public or private.
Drive large-scale infrastructure migrations (for example, HAProxy → Envoy) across every zone with one audit-log shape and no customer-visible regression.
Mentor senior and mid-level engineers, lead post-mortems, and act as a bridge across teams and to leadership.
You'll drive large-scale networking migrations, such as moving from NGINX/HAProxy to Envoy across every zone with no customer-visible regression, and own routing, TLS/mTLS, rate limiting, and observability across the stack.
Own the API and Kubernetes Gateways API stacks and their CRDs: routing, TLS/mTLS, rate limiting, and observability.
Manage networking and traffic at scale: L4/L7 proxying, load balancing, global routing, live failover to healthy backends, encrypted transport, and performance tuning.
Deliver Best-in-Class Client Experiences

Production experience writing Go.
Deep experience with networking and traffic infrastructure: L4/L7 load balancing, reverse proxies (Envoy, HAProxy, or NGINX), or API gateways.
Experience operating a high-traffic edge or gateway as a production choke point: monitoring, runbooks, and incident response.
Experience with certificate issuance and rotation (for example, via Vault) and with multi-zone or federated control planes.

Deep Kubernetes experience, ideally with the Gateway API or Ingress, operators and controllers, and running multiple clusters and the applications deployed across them.
A strong grounding in TLS/mTLS and edge and authentication concerns, plus performance tuning of network-facing services.
A track record of setting technical direction and leading initiatives across teams.
Clear communication about your technical contributions and cross-team collaboration.
Experience leading a large-scale infrastructure migration end to end.
