Remote Glass Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The Endpoint Engineering team at CoreWeave manages end-user compute for all employees running macOS and Windows 11 — application deployment, patching, and configuration management to keep the environment secure and reliable.

We're expanding that scope with a cloud-based VDI offering (Ubuntu and Windows 11) to meet growing customer needs. This role owns that expansion as the sole DRI for the Next Gen VDI platform: the remote-compute infrastructure powering hundreds of engineers, network operators, and support teams company-wide. You'll own everything from the underlying cloud infrastructure to the OS images running on it, delivering a secure, self-service, operationally excellent platform as CoreWeave scales.

As the Systems Engineer for Next Gen VDI, you will own both the cloud infrastructure buildout and the OS lifecycle for CoreWeave's next-generation remote compute platform. This is a hands-on engineering role with end-to-end scope: you will design and stand up the platform from scratch—integrating Teleport, Okta SSO, audit logging, cost governance, and self-service tooling—and you will own the image pipelines, patch cadence, configuration management, and security agent stack that keep the fleet healthy. 

In this role, you will:

• Design and deliver the end-to-end VDI platform architecture—covering cloud infrastructure, access controls, OS lifecycle, security posture, and network topology—and drive peer review and sign-off before build commences.
• Integrate cloud infrastructure into CoreWeave's Teleport cluster: IAM node joining, RBAC role definitions, access policies per user persona, and break-glass/OOB node setup and validation.
• Configure Okta SAML/OIDC SSO with MFA enforcement, session policy, and access review workflows for the VDI fleet.
• Build and maintain the audit logging pipeline (cloud logging → CoreWeave SIEM), legal hold and forensic snapshot-on-demand workflows, and compliance-aligned session activity retention policies.
• Own cost governance: implement instance tagging and cost center chargeback attribution, build idle detection and cleanup automation, and deliver self-service and admin portals for instance lifecycle management.
• Own the Ubuntu LTS and Windows 11 base image pipelines—code-defined builds (Packer or equivalent), automated regression test suites covering agent health, network reachability, and security posture, versioned release promotion, and rollback procedures.
• Write and maintain Chef cookbooks (or equivalent) for post-provision configuration: user setup, mounts, and toolchain.
• Bake security and network agents (CrowdStrike, Netskope, BlastShield) and the PCoIP client/agent into Ubuntu and Windows 11 base images; own group/policy configuration, fleet enrollment, and alert routing.
• Lead end-to-end integration testing (provision → auth → tool access → teardown) and platform security review prior to launch; remediate and drive sign-off.
• Sustain steady-state operations: monthly patch releases, config management updates, infrastructure health checks, incident response, and user ticket triage.
• Produce and maintain runbooks for image release, Teleport onboarding, break-glass procedures, and incident response.

• Demonstrated experience operating and automating cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, or GCP—compute, networking, storage, IAM, and cost tooling.
• Proficiency with Linux system administration (Ubuntu preferred) and Windows 11 endpoint management, including shell/PowerShell scripting, service configuration, package management, and log analysis.
• Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code and configuration management tooling (Terraform, Ansible, Chef, Packer, or equivalent) in a production environment.
• Experience integrating enterprise identity and access management solutions—Teleport, Okta, or comparable SSO/PAM/ZTNA tooling—including RBAC design and access policy definition.
• Experience building and operating OS image pipelines: code-driven builds, automated regression testing, versioned release promotion, staged rollout, and rollback.
• Familiarity with endpoint and network security agent deployment (CrowdStrike, Netskope, or similar), including bake-in to base images and policy configuration.
• Strong scripting and automation skills (Python, Bash, or equivalent); comfort building internal tooling and self-service workflows.
• Experience with observability and logging pipelines—log forwarding, schema definition, retention policy, and SIEM integration.

• Experience with Windows 11 image management, MDM/Intune enrollment, and patch management tooling.
• Familiarity with PCoIP/HP Anyware or other streaming display protocols in a VDI context.
• Experience with cost attribution, tagging strategy, and chargeback reporting in multi-tenant cloud environments.
• Exposure to BlastShield or other zero-trust network access (ZTNA) solutions.
• Experience with legal hold, forensic imaging, or compliance workflows in a cloud environment.

We believe in investing in our people and value candidates who bring unique backgrounds—even if you don't check every box. Here are a few qualities we've found make someone successful on this team. If some of this describes you, we'd love to talk.

• You love owning the full stack—you're as comfortable debugging a cloud routing issue as you are tracing why an agent isn't enrolling in an image build.
• You're energized by greenfield work: designing from scratch, making defensible architectural choices, and building the operational playbook alongside the platform.
• You think in systems: you anticipate how a patch cadence decision today affects upgrade friction two OS generations from now, across both Ubuntu LTS and Windows 11 release cycles.
• You're an expert at security-conscious infrastructure—you don't treat compliance controls as an afterthought, you design them in.
