About the Role
CoreWeave's MetalDev team is seeking an Operations Engineer to support the services and automation used during data center bring-ups and in production. Reporting to the Engineering Manager, this hands-on role is designed for an engineer who can handle routine production issues with growing independence while developing deeper expertise in service reliability, observability, and hardware lifecycle management.
You will support the Redfish-based services and tools used to initialize, reboot, monitor, and recover infrastructure at scale. You will independently triage routine alerts and support requests, contribute to incident response and root-cause analysis, improve dashboards and runbooks, and deliver small automation or reliability changes with guidance on complex or high-risk work.
You will work with NVIDIA GPU servers, BMCs, DPUs, Cooling Distribution Units, NVLink switches, power shelves, and custom hardware while collaborating with Fleet Operations, Hardware Engineering, Service Engineering, and hardware and firmware vendors. Approximately 80% of the role focuses on production operations, troubleshooting, and incident response. The remaining 20% focuses on improving monitoring, documentation, operational processes, remediation capabilities, and automation.
Key Responsibilities
Production Support and Troubleshooting
- Monitor team-owned services and fleet health, identify unhealthy devices, and coordinate remediation using established tools and procedures.
- Independently troubleshoot routine initialization, reboot, provisioning, and service-health issues, escalating complex or high-risk problems appropriately.
- Investigate problems across applications, Linux systems, networks, BMCs, servers, DPUs, power equipment, and cooling infrastructure using logs, metrics, and diagnostic data.
- Perform and validate approved remediation, ensuring services and devices return to a healthy state.
- Participate in incident response, maintain clear operational communications, and contribute to root-cause analysis and follow-up actions.
