What You’ll Do:

The Monolith AI Platform Engineering Team at CoreWeave is responsible for transitioning existing client environments to Monolith AI’s next-generation platform, maintaining the high velocity needed to support a rapidly growing customer base. This team works closely with Customer Success and Product to ensure migrations are accurate, meet defined business requirements, and are delivered at scale.

About the Role:

Monolith AI is seeking a talented Software Developer for an intensive 3-month migration project transitioning existing client environments to our next-generation platform. This role requires a developer who excels at rapidly understanding undocumented systems, extracting clarity from complex database structures, and building practical migration tooling in Python. You’ll work closely with our 15-person technical team (currently doubling), collaborating extensively with Customer Success and Product to ensure migrations meet defined business requirements while maintaining high velocity.

In this role, you will:

  • Rapid System Understanding
    • Quickly grasp existing PostgreSQL database schemas through code inspection, team discussions, and reverse engineering
    • Understand new platform database architecture and how legacy data maps to the new structure
    • Work with pickle files and S3 object storage to understand serialized data structures
    • Extract clarity from poorly documented legacy systems through hands-on investigation
  • Cross-Functional Requirements Gathering
    • Collaborate with Customer Success to understand client migration requirements and acceptance criteria
    • Partner with Product team to define and iterate on what constitutes acceptable migration outcomes
    • Balance technical constraints with business needs to establish pragmatic migration standards
    • Clarify ambiguous requirements and drive decisions on edge cases and trade-offs
  • Product Context & Impact Analysis
    • Understand how database entries and S3-stored objects drive UI behavior and user workflows
    • Work with the existing team to learn system behavior through discussions and knowledge transfer
    • Identify how legacy data structures distribute across new platform tables and storage
  • Migration Tool Development
    • Build Python migration scripts to convert legacy notebooks to the new platform format
    • Work with Flask and FastAPI layers to understand API interactions and data flow
    • Handle pickle file deserialization and data transformation logic
    • Implement validation against defined Customer Success requirements (not 100% data integrity)
  • Velocity & Communication Management
    • Maintain rapid project pace with tight 3-month timeline
    • Provide frequent progress updates to the tech lead on development speed and blockers
    • Proactively communicate risks, timeline concerns, and decision points
    • Make pragmatic technical decisions that balance quality with delivery speed
  • Testing & Validation Against Requirements
    • Test migration outputs against Customer Success acceptance criteria
    • Validate migrated notebooks meet defined business requirements
    • Identify and communicate gaps between migration output and requirements for product decisions
  • Process Documentation & Knowledge Transfer
    • Document the migration process, key decisions, and data mapping logic
    • Create runbooks for executing migrations and handling common issues
    • Transfer knowledge primarily through discussions with the existing team
    • Prepare materials enabling team to execute and troubleshoot migrations post-contract

Who You Are:

  • 3+ years of professional software development experience
  • 2+ years working with Python in production environments
  • Experience working with PostgreSQL databases and complex data structures
  • Demonstrated ability to reverse engineer and understand undocumented systems
  • Previous work in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments
  • Programming: Strong Python proficiency including handling pickle files, data processing, and object serialization
  • Databases: Solid understanding of PostgreSQL including complex data structures, relationships, and schema interpretation
  • APIs: Familiarity with Flask and/or FastAPI frameworks and RESTful API concepts
  • Cloud Storage: Experience with S3 or similar object storage services for reading/writing data
  • System Investigation: Ability to read and understand existing codebases to extract system behavior
  • Version Control: Proficiency with Git and collaborative development workflows

Preferred:

  • Experience with data migration or system modernization projects
  • Background working with legacy systems or technical debt remediation
  • Familiarity with Jupyter notebooks or similar computational environments
  • Previous contract or consulting roles requiring rapid onboarding
  • Experience in startup or scale-up environments with evolving requirements
  • Knowledge of data serialization formats and their trade-offs
  • Prior work extracting understanding from poorly documented codebases
  • Experience balancing technical perfection with business pragmatism

Wondering if you’re a good fit? We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams – even if you aren’t a 100% skill or experience match. Here are a few qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we’d love to talk.

  • Rapid Learner: You can quickly understand complex, undocumented systems through code inspection and experimentation, and extract clarity from incomplete information.
  • Pragmatic & Velocity-Driven: You thrive in fast-paced environments with tight deadlines, make practical trade-offs between thoroughness and speed, and maintain a strong bias toward action and delivery.
  • Communicator: You proactively provide progress updates, surface blockers early, and clearly articulate technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders like Customer Success and Product.
  • Collaborative: You build relationships quickly, partner effectively with Customer Success and Product to understand business requirements, and actively engage with the existing technical team to facilitate knowledge transfer.
  • Owner: You take full ownership of deliverables despite a short contract timeline, and maintain composure and productivity in a dynamic, growing organisation (team currently doubling).
  • Results-Focused: You prioritise work that directly impacts migration success, stay transparent about what’s achievable within timeline constraints, and are accountable when risks emerge.
