  • Partner with internal and cross-functional teams to ensure platform capabilities meet rigorous operational requirements and customer SLAs.
  • Engineer for resiliency, implementing best practices for redundancy, fault tolerance, and disaster recovery across complex distributed systems.
  • Advocate for security, reliability, and performance improvements throughout the stack, continuously seeking opportunities to strengthen operational standards.
  • Contribute to the development of custom Kubernetes operators and intelligent orchestration frameworks that optimize AI workload performance and resource utilization at scale.
  • Mentor and support other engineers in production best practices, fostering a culture of high accountability and operational awareness.
You Might Be a Good Fit If You
  • Bring 5+ years of experience in production engineering, SRE, or large-scale infrastructure/platform roles.
  • Are deeply knowledgeable in Kubernetes administration, container orchestration, and microservices architectures, with a bias for automating every aspect of operations.
  • Have a proven track record managing high-uptime, customer-facing systems in a fast-moving environment, with experience delivering measurable improvements in reliability and performance.
  • Possess expertise in monitoring, observability, and incident management using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Splunk, Loki, or VictoriaMetrics.
  • Demonstrate strong proficiency in infrastructure-focused programming—especially in Go and Bash—and hold a deep understanding of Linux systems.
  • Excel at troubleshooting complex production issues, from system failures to performance bottlenecks, and approach problems methodically with strong analytical skills.
  • Communicate clearly across technical and non-technical stakeholders, proactively sharing knowledge and advocating for operational best practices.
  • Are passionate about building systems that are not just functional, but robust, self-healing, and easy to operate at scale.
  • Take pride in mentoring peers, driving continuous improvement, and helping set high standards for operational excellence and team culture.
What Success Looks Like
  • You deliver stable, robust, and highly-available systems that consistently meet or exceed uptime and performance targets.
  • You champion initiatives that drive automation, reduce operational toil, and increase the efficiency of incident response.
  • Your leadership in root cause analysis, postmortems, and process improvement makes the Kubernetes platform more resilient and scalable.
  • You actively contribute to a blameless culture of learning, mentoring others in operational best practices and production engineering principles.
  • You help CoreWeave maintain industry leadership through flawless execution in supporting demanding, AI-powered workloads at scale

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
