Weights & Biases at CoreWeave
CoreWeave acquired Weights & Biases to create the most powerful end-to-end platform to develop, deploy, and iterate AI faster. CoreWeave operates a growing footprint of data centers covering every region of the US and across Europe, and was ranked as one of the TIME100 most influential companies of 2024. By bringing together CoreWeave’s industry-leading cloud infrastructure with the best-in-class tools AI practitioners know and love from Weights & Biases, we’re setting a new standard for how AI is built, trained, and scaled.
The integration of our teams and technologies is accelerating our shared mission: to empower developers with the tools and infrastructure they need to push the boundaries of what AI can do. From experiment tracking and model optimization to high-performance training clusters, agent building, and inference at scale, we’re combining forces to serve the full AI lifecycle — all in one seamless platform.
Weights & Biases has long been trusted by over 1,500 organizations — including AstraZeneca, Canva, Cohere, OpenAI, Meta, Snowflake, Square, Toyota, and Wayve — to build better models, AI agents and applications. Now, as part of CoreWeave, that impact is amplified across a broader ecosystem of AI innovators, researchers, and enterprises.
As we unite under one vision, we’re looking for bold thinkers and agile builders who are excited to shape the future of AI alongside us. If you’re passionate about solving complex problems at the intersection of software, hardware, and AI, there’s never been a more exciting time to join our team.
What You’ll Do:
Weave is CoreWeave’s observability, evaluation, and monitoring platform for AI agents and GenAI applications. Our customers rely on Weave to build the auto-improving loop for their AI agents: including production tracing, offline evaluations, online monitoring and alerting.

- Implement robust and ergonomic APIs.
- Design and build integrations with popular agent harnesses and SDKs such as Claude Code, Codex, pi.dev, OpenAI Agents SDK, etc.
- Scale and improve backend performance to support low-latency, high-volume production use cases.
- Build polished and intuitive features such online LLM judges, playgrounds, evaluations, labeling, and tracing UX.
- Partner directly with users to understand workflows, gather feedback, and rapidly iterate on solutions.
Who You Are
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or related field.
- 8+ years of experience in Software Engineering.
- Deep knowledge of Python and/or TypeScript.

Preferred
- Experience managing large-scale online production services or OLAP databases.
