What You'll Do: The Network Services / DPU team at CoreWeave owns the high-performance network virtualization and hardware-offloaded datapath layers that power our global AI cloud. We design and build the infrastructure that eliminates communication bottlenecks for massive GPU clusters, ensuring multi-tenant workloads execute securely and at line-rate.
About the role: As a Senior Engineer on the DPU team, you will lead a local team driving the test strategy and automation execution for our OVS-based datapath and related control-plane components. You will partner closely with DPU, networking, and platform engineering groups to turn dataplane validation into a reliable, repeatable service that gates production releases. This role involves designing sophisticated automation to orchestrate DPU/host configurations and OVS pipelines, integrating these test beds into CI/CD pipelines, and validating regression, functionality, and scalability for NVIDIA software releases.
You will influence the long-term architecture of DPU datapath and control-plane designs for maximum testability, participate in rotating on-call structures, and work directly with strategic vendors like NVIDIA on escalations and hardware feature validation. Who You Are: 7+ years of professional engineering experience in networking, systems, or cloud infrastructure, with a deep focus on dataplane technologies and production operations.
Hands-on engineering experience with NVIDIA DPUs (e.g., BlueField platforms) in large-scale deployments, including firmware/software lifecycle and hardware offload pipelines. Strong, deep knowledge of Open vSwitch (OVS) configuration and pipelines, including bridges, flows, and hardware offloads. Solid technical background in cloud networking infrastructure, including VPCs, routing, security policies, and overlay/underlay networking topologies.
