Engineering Manager, Fleet Engineering

Core Weave is The Essential Cloud for AI™. Built for pioneers by pioneers, Core Weave delivers a platform of technology, tools, and teams that enables innovators to build and scale AI with confidence. Trusted by leading AI labs, startups, and global enterprises, Core Weave combines superior infrastructure performance with deep technical expertise to accelerate breakthroughs and turn compute into capability. Founded in 2017, Core Weave became a publicly traded company (Nasdaq: CRWV) in March 2025.

Core Weave's Fleet Engineering organization owns the lifecycle of every server in our cloud, including provisioning, health, availability, and repair across every cluster and region. To scale, we automate, automate, automate. But physical infrastructure exists in the real world, and some obstacles can only be overcome with hands-on work. You and your team will design, build, and own the tooling for every human interaction with the fleet, with the goal of making each action as clear, simple, and friction-free as possible while seamlessly collecting fault metrics that drive continuous improvement across the cloud stack.

We're seeking an Engineering Manager to lead a full-stack team building Go backend services and React/Type Script frontends for workflow-heavy, data-dense products with real users you can talk to: hardware ticketing automation, guided repair procedures for technicians on the data center floor, and the services that move hardware and inventory data across the fleet. Your users are the data center technicians, operations engineers, technical program managers, and inventory specialists who run Core Weave's global footprint.

You own delivery, including scope, release cadence, quality, and responsiveness to users. You'll lead design reviews, pressure-test architecture, and help your team make sound tradeoffs.

• Lead and grow the team through hiring, onboarding, career development, and performance management, and set the tone for how the team operates and enables the rest of Core Weave.
• Own delivery end to end: gather and refine requirements, define scope, and set predictable, clearly communicated release cadences.
• Drive reliability and performance under real operational load through observability, on-call operations, incident response, runbook development, and automated remediation.
• Lead maintenance and enhancement of existing products, soliciting user feedback and prioritizing fixes to stay responsive to users.
• Scope and lead new product development that increases the efficiency and scale at which Core Weave manages its fleet.
• Set technical direction through design and architecture reviews, holding the bar on API contracts, data modeling, and frontend architecture.
• Partner with peer Fleet Engineering teams and operations leadership on shared APIs, sources of truth, and cross-team dependencies.

• 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 4+ years managing full-stack teams that ship and operate production web applications across a frontend layer (Type Script/React or comparable) and backend services (Go, or another compiled service language).
• Demonstrated track record delivering software products to defined stakeholders and users: requirements gathering, scoping, prioritization, release planning, and predictable delivery cadences.
• Experience owning production web services end to end, including performance under load, availability targets, on-call rotations, and incident response.
• Technical depth sufficient to lead design and architecture reviews and evaluate system design tradeoffs across API contracts, data modeling, state management, horizontal scaling, security, and audit trails.
• Experience hiring, mentoring, and managing engineer performance, including growing engineers into senior and lead roles.
• Strong process-oriented mindset and the ability to document, scale, and optimize complex workflows.
• Excellent cross-functional communicator, comfortable extending your influence to non-engineering stakeholders, partner teams, and senior leadership.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.

• Experience delivering internal tools, workflow products, or field-service platforms used daily by operational teams, with strong product sense for translating user workflows into interfaces.
• Experience with third-party and vendor API integrations, including ticketing systems such as Jira and vendor support portals.
• Familiarity with data center operations, hardware lifecycle management, or asset tracking and DCIM tools.
• Experience with mobile-friendly or device-integrated web applications, for example barcode or serial number scanning.
• Familiarity with observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, Victoria Metrics, alerting systems), Kubernetes, and modern CI/CD practices.
