What You’ll Do

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.

About the Role

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.
