CoreWeave Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

I had an initial chat with the recruiter, who could only schedule it for 3 weeks out. After talking with them, I was set up for a technical interview, which was scheduled for 2 weeks later. On the day of the interview, the meeting invite disappeared. I emailed them and after 3 days of waiting, I got an auto-reject. The same recruiter contacted me again 2 months later about the same job. I took their call, explained what happened last time, and asked to just proceed to the next stage. They got really aggressive with me and told me to explain the role and everything we talked about in detail. I pulled out my notes and a list of all the things we discussed last time. They got a bit angry and asked a few questions, and then the interview concluded. The recruiter clearly had an ego issue.

The interview process involved 2 phone screens, followed by a manager round and a system design interview, and a final random q&a session. The overall experience felt unprofessional because they frequently rescheduled and had different interviewers throughout. It seemed like they weren't serious about hiring, as they kept messing up the schedule.

The process had a 30 minute recruiter screen, then a 90 minute culture fit interview with a director, followed by a 60 minute coding assessment on CoderPad, then a 60 minute domain knowledge interview with a senior SWE, and finished with a 45 minute interview with the hiring manager. It was all as expected from the interview packet, which also gave descriptions of what to expect and how to prepare. Everyone was professional, kind, knowledgeable, and proactive. The questions checked my domain knowledge, technical depth, and cultural fit. I think it'll be a good place to work if you like owning your project's technical direction and being in an engineering-focused culture.
