About the role:

CoreWeave is seeking an experienced, people-focused Engineering Manager to lead our MetalDev RAS (Reliability, Availability & Serviceability) team within Hardware Engineering Dev (Metal Dev). In this first-line management role, you will build, coach, and grow a team of infrastructure and site reliability engineers responsible for the reliability, availability, and serviceability of the services that manage CoreWeave's bare-metal infrastructure at scale.

You will own both the health of your team and the health of the systems they operate — setting technical direction, driving operational excellence, and partnering with cross-functional teams, external vendors, and other stakeholders to deliver highly performant and resilient infrastructure solutions. You will balance hands‑on technical leadership with the people leadership needed to develop engineers and sustain a strong on‑call and incident‑management culture.

The MetalDev RAS team is responsible for the software and infrastructure that keeps CoreWeave's fleet of GPU servers reliable, available, and serviceable at massive scale. This team sits at the intersection of software engineering, infrastructure, and hardware, building the automation and operational systems that power one of the world's fastest‑growing AI clouds.

What You’ll Do People Leadership & Team Development

• Hire, coach, and grow a team of infrastructure/SRE engineers, fostering a culture of ownership and reliability.
• Run 1:1s, performance reviews, and career development; set clear goals and hold the team accountable.
• Maintain a healthy, sustainable on‑call culture and balanced team workload.

Reliability, Availability & Serviceability (RAS) Leadership

• Own the reliability, availability, and serviceability of the MetalDev RedFish services in production environment, ensuring that the services are performing optimally.
• Define and drive KPIs, SLAs, and SLOs for the team, ensuring alignment with organizational reliability objectives.
• Champion system observability and health using tools like Prometheus and Grafana to proactively detect performance bottlenecks before they become incidents.
• Set the automation strategy that streamlines incident detection and recovery and reduces manual toil across the server hardware lifecycle.
• Drive the team to continuously reduce on‑call queries and incidents over time through systemic, long‑term improvements.

Incident Management & Operational Excellence

• Establish and improve incident response processes, runbooks, and RCA/PIR practices.
• Lead communication to stakeholders during major incidents and drive systemic fixes over repeat firefighting.
• Oversee the full server hardware lifecycle through automation, dashboards, and CI/CD pipelines.

Cross functional collaboration

• Collaborate with engineering teams across the organization on platform reliability, resilience improvements, and disaster recovery.
• Represent the team in planning and prioritization, managing dependencies with partner teams and external vendors.
• Engage with upstream communities (e.g., Go and Redfish-based services) and guide the team's technical standards for tooling, automation, and documentation.

Who You Are:

• 3+ years of engineering management experience leading and growing teams of software / infrastructure / SRE engineers (first-line management), on top of a strong individual-contributor background.
• 7+ years of combined experience in cloud operations, site reliability engineering (SRE), infrastructure, or related technical roles.
• Strong understanding of cloud platforms and K8S, and of cloud and bare‑metal infrastructure.
• Solid grounding in incident management practices and frameworks (e.g., ITIL, SRE best practices), including on‑call, RCA, and PIR processes.
• Experience leading teams that develop software in Go or (comparable systems languages) with the ability to participate in architecture and code reviews.
• Experience with observability tooling such as Prometheus and Grafana.
• Track record of defining and driving reliability metrics (SLAs / SLOs / KPIs) and operational improvements at scale.
• Excellent communication, documentation, and stakeholder‑management skills, with strong analytical and problem‑solving abilities.
• Experience supporting production services on an on‑call rotation, and a demonstrated ability to build a healthy on‑call and operational culture within a team.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience managing bare‑metal, hardware, or hardware‑adjacent infrastructure teams.
• Familiarity with Redfish, BMC, or server lifecycle management technologies.
• Experience scaling teams, tooling, and processes in a high‑growth environment.
