Staff Product Manager, Data Services

What You’ll Do

The Data Services Team builds and operates the data platform that powers Core Weave’s AI cloud, from transactional and analytical storage to streaming, metadata, and governance. We give our customers and Core Weave engineers the primitives they need to ingest, store, process, and serve data at the scale and performance that next‑generation AI workloads demand.

As a Staff Product Manager for Data Services, you’ll own the end‑to‑end strategy, roadmap, and execution for Core Weave’s data services portfolio: databases, data lakes, streaming, metadata and catalog, and data sharing and integration. You’ll shape a multi‑year vision for how our data services underpin AI and GPU workloads, then lead delivery from 0 to 1 and 1 to N. That means working directly with strategic customers and partners, collaborating closely with engineering and GTM, evaluating emerging data technologies, and ensuring our services are secure, reliable, and easy to adopt.

• Product strategy and roadmap across the data services portfolio, balancing near‑term delivery with long‑term bets
• Customer and partner engagement – diving deep into data architectures, co‑designing solutions, and supporting large‑scale deployments
• Cross‑functional alignment with engineering, GTM, and leadership to drive clarity and execution in a fast‑moving environment
• Market and competitive analysis to surface opportunities, validate priorities, and keep us ahead of the curve
• API‑first platform thinking – partnering with architects on service designs, SLAs, and operational excellence

• 8+ years of product management experience in data platforms, databases, analytics, or cloud infrastructure, with at least 3‑4 years focused on data services (managed databases, streaming, data warehouses, data lakes, or governance platforms)
• Technical fluency in:
  • Relational and/or distributed databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Single Store, Snowflake, Big Query)
  • Streaming and pipelines (Kafka, CDC, ETL/ELT, lakehouse architectures, real‑time data sharing)
  • Data security and governance (encryption, IAM/RBAC, data masking, network isolation, compliance)
• A track record of owning complex, API‑first platform products from concept through multiple release cycles
• Strong communication skills – able to create clarity from ambiguity, influence without authority, and translate technical depth for any audience
• Comfort operating in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment where the answer isn’t always obvious

• Staff or Director‑level PM experience at a database vendor, cloud provider, or high‑growth infrastructure company
• Hands‑on experience with managed data services on AWS, Azure, or GCP (RDS, Aurora, Cosmos DB, Big Query)
• Background in hybrid or multi‑cloud architectures: connectivity, data locality, replication
• Experience with AI/ML data products: feature stores, vector search, real‑time analytics, or serving pipelines for LLM workloads
• Familiarity with SaaS/PaaS packaging and usage‑based or tiered pricing models
• Prior engineering or architecture experience on data or distributed systems
