Core Weave is seeking an experienced, people-focused Engineering Manager to lead our Metal Dev 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 Core Weave'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 Metal Dev RAS team is responsible for the software and infrastructure that keeps Core Weave'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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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…
