Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
The interviewer asked me to design a Kubernetes-based platform that would allow users to upload their application runtimes and automatically scale to meet the load.
Overall, the interviewer was pretty rude from the start and acted impatient to end the interview. There wasn't really much in the way of discussion, and every so often the interviewer would ask, "Why would you do it that way?" followed by no response or follow-up discussion.
I decided not to move forward with the interview process after this.

CoreWeave Work Experiences
- 5.0Great Team, Much To LearnSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSunnyvale, California, United StatesJune 12, 2025Pros: Good culture Lots to learn Great teamCons: None to think of currently.
- 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.
- 5.0Friendly, Educational, Little StructureSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeAugust 5, 2025Pros: Very friendly, encouraging, open, and educational.Cons: Cons are few. Sometimes, there's a lack of structure.
