What You’ll Do
The Cloud Platform team is a high-visibility team responsible for the interfaces to our customer-facing products. We own our cloud developer experience, providing our customers observability into their cloud resources and enabling effective, cohesive interfaces to manage them via our Console UI, REST/gRPC API, Infrastructure-as-code, CLI and SDKs. We also own our billing platform and administrative tools for internal and external customers. We’re looking to grow our team across multiple experience levels to meet the growing demand for CoreWeave services.
As a Staff Software Engineer, Frontend, you will play a critical role in defining and evolving the frontend architecture that powers CoreWeave’s Cloud Platform. You’ll work at the intersection of product design, frontend engineering, and platform systems, driving scalable UI patterns and exceptional developer and user experiences.
Some of what you’ll work on:
- Lead the technical direction and architecture of CoreWeave’s frontend applications, ensuring scalability, performance, and long-term maintainability.
- Partner closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to shape roadmap, UX strategy, and API contracts.
- Design and build high-quality, accessible, and performant user interfaces using TypeScript and React.
- Own and evolve frontend standards, including component libraries, design systems, state management patterns, and testing practices.
- Collaborate with backend teams to design and consume GraphQL and REST APIs, advocating for frontend needs such as efficiency, consistency, and evolvability.
- Drive frontend performance and reliability through profiling, monitoring, and optimization.
- Debug and resolve production issues, contributing to incident response and post-mortems as needed.
- Mentor and influence engineers across the organization through design reviews, code reviews, and technical leadership.
Who You Are
- Highly proficient in building complex SPAs using TypeScript and React (or similar modern frontend frameworks).

- Solid understanding of authentication, authorization, and frontend security best practices.
- Familiarity with frontend observability, including metrics, logging, and client-side error monitoring.
- Working knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and modern frontend build systems (e.g., GitHub Actions).
- Excellent communicator, able to clearly explain technical decisions to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Comfortable tackling large, ambiguous problems, breaking them into well-defined deliverables, and driving them to completion.
- Strong sense of ownership for systems in production and the teams that depend on them.
Preferred
- Proven track record of technical leadership and mentorship, including guiding senior engineers and influencing architectural decisions.
- Experience building and maintaining design systems or shared component libraries used by multiple teams.
