IT Engineering at CoreWeave designs, builds, and operates the systems that enable our employees and acquired organizations to work securely and efficiently at scale. The team partners closely with Security, Business Development, PeopleOps, and Corporate functions to deliver resilient, standardized, and automation-first IT solutions that support CoreWeave’s rapid growth.

As a Staff Systems Engineer, Enterprise Architect, you will own and evolve CoreWeave’s internal IT and SaaS ecosystem. This is a staff-level engineering role focused on building scalable, secure, and well-governed platforms that enable the business to operate efficiently.

We are looking for someone with strong systems engineering depth and hands-on development experience who can build internal tools, automation, and self-service capabilities that reduce manual operational work across IT. This role is not limited to administering systems; it requires someone who can identify repetitive processes, design durable solutions, and leverage APIs, workflow platforms, infrastructure-as-code, and AI-enabled tooling to improve how employees and IT teams get work done.

You will act as a broad technical owner across core IT systems, including Google Workspace, Slack, domain infrastructure, Cloudflare, and other enterprise SaaS platforms. Beyond operating these systems, you will drive standardization, automation, rationalization, and self-service, ensuring our environment remains sustainable as the company scales.

This role requires strong technical judgment and leadership, including the ability to identify and reduce technical debt, deprecate unsupported tools, and guide the business toward durable, supportable solutions. You will partner closely with Identity, Security, Infrastructure, and business stakeholders to ensure CoreWeave’s IT platform is reliable, secure, automated, and built for long-term scale.
