Job Summary:
CoreWeave is The Essential Cloud for AI™, providing a platform that enables innovators to build and scale AI with confidence. They are seeking a Staff Frontend Engineer to build high-performance internal tools for managing datacenter infrastructure, collaborating closely with backend engineers to optimize the user interface for complex datasets and performance requirements.
Responsibilities:
• Own the UI layer for tooling related to datacenter infrastructure.
• Build extremely high-performance interfaces for visualizing and planning datacenter infrastructure.
• Create interactive planning tools for rack elevations, floor layouts, power distribution, and network topology.
• Develop data-dense views and dashboards for build planning and asset tracking.
• Establish the frontend architecture, including component library, state management, and data fetching patterns.
• Integrate tightly with backend APIs and collaborate with backend engineers.
Qualifications:
Required:
• Deep proficiency with TypeScript and React. You should be the kind of engineer who understands React's rendering model at a low level and can make deliberate decisions about when and how components re-render.
• Demonstrated experience building interfaces that handle large, complex datasets with extreme performance requirements: virtualized rendering, canvas or WebGL-based visualization, efficient DOM management, or similar techniques.
• Strong understanding of frontend architecture: component design, state management (particularly for complex, interconnected data models), data fetching and caching patterns, and build tooling.
• Experience designing and consuming APIs with attention to type safety, pagination, caching, and error handling.
• Track record of frontend performance optimization: bundle analysis, runtime profiling, and making data-heavy UIs feel fast under real load.
• Genuine curiosity about (or direct experience with) physical datacenter infrastructure. The ideal candidate has a working understanding of servers, GPUs, network switches, optical transceivers, structured cabling, power distribution, and cooling.
• Ability to work directly with infrastructure engineers (the end users of what you build) to understand their workflows, identify pain points, and translate complex operational processes into clean, usable interfaces.
• Comfort working on a newly formed team where you'll be making early architectural decisions that compound over time. We need someone who is deliberate about tradeoffs and can move quickly without being reckless or sacrificing performance.
• 7+ years of professional frontend engineering experience, with meaningful senior-level ownership of production systems. For Staff level: demonstrated ability to make foundational architectural decisions and influence technical direction beyond your immediate team.
• Strong communication skills. You'll be working across network engineering, fleet engineering, operations, and design. You need to explain technical decisions clearly and advocate for frontend concerns in cross-functional discussions.
• Strong sense of ownership for the systems you build and the people who depend on them.
Preferred:
• Direct experience with datacenter operations, infrastructure planning, or familiarity with DCIM tools like NetBox or Sunbird.
• Experience working alongside backend teams writing Go, and comfort collaborating on API design across the stack.
• Exposure to Infrastructure-as-Code, Kubernetes, or cloud platform concepts. You won't be directly deploying infrastructure, but understanding the ecosystem helps you build better tools for the engineers who do.
• Experience with frontend observability, CI/CD pipelines, and modern build systems. We're building this team's practices from scratch, and having strong opinions about how to ship tooling matters.
• Familiarity with authentication, authorization, and frontend security best practices for internal tooling.
