About the role:
CoreWeave’s customers are among the most innovative technology companies in the world and CoreWeave’s role is to enable that innovation with our best-in-class hardware and platforms. For many of our customers, focusing on the boilerplate of distributed applications is a distraction away from their core business. CoreWeave’s answer for this challenge is the Marketplace Team. Through platform development and application packaging, the Marketplace Team is able to enable our customers to have turnkey solutions to some of their most common operational challenges and instead focus on their core businesses. This team is responsible for platform development, test planning, orchestration, and any attendant integrations for a Kubernetes native software marketplace including the engineering of operators, CRDs, helm charts, and OS images.

We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead the App Platform Team to help us build this specialization from the ground-up. This individual will grow and guide a new team of 5-8 engineers from the early steps of team cohesion and discovery into a high performing group of servant-leaders. As the Manager of this team you would have the opportunity to:

• Drive the culture and tone for how your team keeps score both in how they support each other and how they enable the rest of CoreWeave.
• Support your people and create opportunities for them to be challenged and grow.
• Develop a customer-centric mindset, perform regular needs analysis and prioritization, create and deliver roadmaps, and maintain a highly available set of services.
• Work directly with other engineering teams to assess needs and guide their implementations and integrations with your team’s platforms.
• Implement processes and standards to achieve a highly mature practice of testing, orchestration and platform delivery to guarantee a first-class customer experience.
• Grow, change, invest in your teammates, be invested-in, share your ideas, listen to others, be curious, have fun, and, above all, be yourself.

Wondering if you’re a good fit? We believe in investing in our people, and value candidates who can bring their own diversified experiences to our teams – even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. Here are some qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. If a portion of this resonates with you, we’d love to talk.

• You have six or more years of experience in a software or infrastructure engineering industry.
• You love helping people on their journeys to become their best selves.
• You have experience with building and/or leading teams of diverse individuals.
• You believe in a bottoms-up style of leadership that focuses on enablement, communication, organization, and inspiration over task management.
• You have some experience in the domains of marketplace design, Kubernetes orchestration, containerization, Kubernetes operators, and Helm.
• You have some prior experience as an engineer with operational responsibilities and can guide the development of a program for reliability, scalability, and observability of Marketplace solutions.
• You have some prior experience with virtualization image development and delivery.
