Core Weave is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a team building and operating Kubernetes infrastructure on bare metal
This team sits close to the core of our platform and is responsible for the reliability, scalability, and operational excellence of the systems that power high-performance AI and ML workloads
You will lead engineers working on cluster lifecycle, platform reliability, infrastructure automation, and the operational systems that make Kubernetes run predictably at scale on dedicated hardware
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who can grow engineers, improve execution, and partner deeply with platform, networking, compute, and product teams
The right person understands what it takes to run Kubernetes in demanding production environments and can turn that understanding into a high-functioning team, clear priorities, and durable engineering systems
As the Engineering Manager for Kubernetes Infrastructure, you will lead a team responsible for the core infrastructure and operational foundations behind Kubernetes running directly on bare metal
At Core Weave, this platform is built for high-performance computing workloads and gives customers direct access to dedicated hardware, without virtualization overhead
That makes reliability, performance, observability, and safe lifecycle management especially important
You will be responsible for team execution, technical direction in partnership with senior engineers, and building strong operating mechanisms around delivery, quality, and incident response
You will help the team scale its impact while mentoring engineers, supporting hiring, and strengthening cross-functional collaboration
Lead a team of engineers responsible for Kubernetes infrastructure running on bare metal
Set clear goals, priorities, and execution plans for the team, and ensure reliable delivery against them
Partner with senior ICs and adjacent teams on the roadmap for cluster lifecycle management, upgrades, reliability, observability, and infrastructure automation
Improve the team’s operational excellence across incident response, on-call health, root-cause analysis, and service ownership
Drive engineering best practices for safe change management, testing, rollout quality, and production readiness
Support the design and operation of platform capabilities for provisioning, patching, upgrades, scaling, and troubleshooting of Kubernetes clusters
Build strong cross-functional relationships with compute, networking, storage, security, and product stakeholders
Hire, coach, and develop engineers while creating a high-accountability, high-trust team culture
Establish and improve mechanisms for planning, prioritization, execution tracking, and continuous improvement
