CoreWeave is The Essential Cloud for AI. Built for pioneers by pioneers CoreWeave delivers a platform of technology tools and teams that enables innovators to build and scale AI with confidence. Trusted by leading AI labs startups and global enterprises CoreWeave combines superior infrastructure performance with deep technical expertise to accelerate breakthroughs and turn compute into capability. Founded in 2017 CoreWeave became a publicly traded company (Nasdaq: CRWV) in March 2025. Learn more at.
Were proud to be a Living Wage accredited Employer.

What Youll Do:

The Monolith AI Platform Engineering Team at CoreWeave is responsible for building and scaling the data and workflow backbone that powers the worlds most advanced engineering simulation and AI workflows our ambition is to become the superintelligent AI test lab for the engineering industry helping customers ship science faster. From highthroughput data ingestion and feature pipelines to model training and realtime inference our platform delivers the performant reliable and trustworthy data foundation trusted by the worlds largest engineering companies.

The Staff Data Engineer will own and evolve Monoliths platform data services and ETL offerings the data onboarding preparation and lineage capabilities that turn fragmented realworld engineering data into productionready training and inference pipelines. Youll partner with Product Engineering and Customerfacing teams to deeply understand client data challenges and translate them into scalable selfserve data platform features.

About the Role:

Were seeking a Staff Data Engineer who can own Monoliths data platform surface endtoend: from offline batch pipelines and large historical backfills to lowlatency realtime streaming data flows that power online inference and feedback loops. Youll define and drive our data architecture champion data quality and lineage and decide how customer data moves through Monolith from raw ingestion to governed observable and reproducible training sets.

Youll primarily work with internal teams (Product Customer Success ForwardDeployed Engineers Software Engineers Data Scientists) and step in as a domain expert when clients need deeper guidance.

In this role you will:

  • Own Monoliths Data Platform & ETL Surface
    • Lead the architecture and evolution of core data services for ingestion transformation validation and lineage across training and inference workloads.
    • Design and maintain endtoend data models and schemas that make complex engineering simulation and telemetry data discoverable reusable and performant.
    • Define standards contracts and APIs for how product teams and integrations interact with data services.
  • Design & Operate Batch Streaming Pipelines
    • Build and operate batch pipelines for largescale historical imports retraining data sets and migrations from legacy environments.
    • Design and implement streaming pipelines (e.g. using Kafka or similar technologies) for eventdriven or realtime ingestion and transformation that support online inference monitoring and feedback loops.
    • Select and integrate offtheshelf industryproven ETL / ELT technologies (e.g. workflow orchestrators ingestion frameworks transformation engines) and own their rollout and longterm operation.
  • Champion Data Lineage Governance & DataOps
    • Implement and maintain endtoend data lineage from source systems to derived features and model artifacts enabling reproducibility compliance and faster debugging.
    • Establish DataOps practices: CI/CD for pipelines observability (metrics logs traces) and operational runbooks for data incidents.
    • Help define data quality and governance standards in partnership with Security Compliance and Customer Success including support for privacy and regulatory needs (e.g. GDPRaligned flows and data residency discussions).
  • Partner Across Monolith & CoreWeave
    • Work with Monolith product and engineering teams (platform agents experiments reliability) to expose data services that unlock new user workflows and AI capabilities.
    • Collaborate with CoreWeave infrastructure and AI platform teams to leverage storage compute and observability for reliable data flows.
    • Serve as a technical escalation point for forwarddeployed and customerfacing engineers when questions go deeper than their playbooks (e.g. architecture diagrams of data flow lineage and governance constraints).

Who You Are:

  • Experience & Level
    • Typically 8 years of experience as a Data Engineer / Data Platform Engineer (or similar) including ownership of production data pipelines and architectural decisions.
    • Demonstrated Stafflevel impact: leading critical data domains and crossteam initiatives.
  • Data Engineering & Architecture
    • Deep experience designing endtoend data architectures that cover ingestion storage transformation serving and observability.
    • Strong handson experience with both batch and streaming pipelines:
      • Batch: scheduled workloads historical backfills retraining pipelines.
      • Streaming: Kafka or similar event streaming platforms plus realtime transformation patterns for lowlatency consumption.
    • Proficiency with SQL and at least one major analytical database or data warehouse (e.g. PostgreSQL or similar) including schema design and performance tuning
    • Proficiency with Spark Ray or similar distributed data processing frameworks.
    • Solid understanding of data modeling (event logs star schemas feature tables) in multitenant SaaS or platform contexts.
  • Tooling & Ecosystem
    • Handson with data orchestration and ETL tooling (e.g. Airflow dbt Dagster Temporal or equivalents) and able to evaluate and recommend tools that fit our needs.
    • Experience integrating and operating offtheshelf data infrastructure (not just bespoke systems) including rollout migration plans and ongoing ownership.
    • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and containerization (Docker Kubernetes at least one major cloud provider) for deploying and scaling data workloads.
  • Data Lineage Quality & DataOps
    • Extensive experience implementing data lineage solutions and using them for debugging compliance and auditability.
    • Strong background in data quality: validation frameworks monitoring and guardrails that prevent bad data from reaching downstream consumers.
    • Proficiency with DevOps / DataOps practices: infraascode CI/CD for pipelines runbooks and participation in oncall / incident response for data issues.
  • Programming Systems & Communication
    • Strong programming skills in Python for building data services transformations and platform integrations with an emphasis on maintainability and tests.
    • Comfortable working in serviceoriented architectures reasoning about data contracts SLAs and failure modes across services.
    • Clear written and verbal communicator who can:
      • Explain data architectures and tradeoffs to internal stakeholders and
      • Occasionally join client conversations as a deep domain expert to answer questions about data flows security and governance (e.g. with CIOs heads of data or security counterparts) while daytoday client interaction is handled by forwarddeployed teams.

Preferred:

  • Experience in ML/AI platforms or MLOps environments where data pipelines feed experimentation training and inference workflows at scale.
  • Background with timeseries simulation or experimental data (e.g. physical test benches sensors engineering simulations).
  • Familiarity with feature stores experiment tracking systems or model registries and their integration with upstream pipelines.
  • Experience designing data systems for regulated or safetycritical domains including privacy residency and retention considerations.
