Process
I interviewed with CoreWeave in May for a Senior Software Engineer role.
The process consisted of 5 stages:
- Phone Screen
- Programming Challenge
- System Design
- Hiring Manager Call
- Call with the Director
The recruiter was clear about the whole process and told me what to expect, which helped with the preparation work.
Overall, the whole process was seamless and took about 3 weeks from start to finish. The interviews were fun and challenging.
Questions
Design a notification system and walk through the design steps based on the requirements. Concurrency programming challenge in Go.

- 5.0Free food and good package, but poor work-life balanceSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeBellevue, WAJune 5, 2026Pros: Free food and a good packageCons: Move fast and have bad wlb
- 5.0Highly Engaging and Dynamic Place to WorkSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesJanuary 11, 2025Pros: We are building awesome tech. The company is super competitive, and the business is doing incredibly well. Employees are treated with respect and are empowered to be productive. It's a highly collaborative environment.Cons: Designs and programs change rapidly, and it can be hard to keep up with for some. The company is growing rapidly, so processes and employee expectations aren't always well defined. (Not an explicit con, in my opinion, but it is what it is: fairly male-dominated, although that is changing.) People work hard and work late, which can create pressure for others to work later hours.
