We’re proud to be a Living Wage accredited Employer.

What You’ll Do:

CoreWeave’s Hardware Compute organization is responsible for building, operating, and automating the high-performance hardware cloud that powers the world’s most advanced AI workloads. This Warsaw-based engineering group spans three specialized, hardware- adjacent domains: METAL (owning server hardware infrastructure, fleet provisioning, monitoring, and maintenance at scale), METALDEV (developing the software and automation platforms managing hardware lifecycles and observability), and METALNET (owning high-bandwidth GPU interconnect platforms like NVLink and NVSwitch environments).

About the role:

As an Engineering Manager, your primary mission is to build, staff, and scale a high-performing, multi-disciplinary engineering organization in Warsaw. Reporting to the Director of Compute Architecture, you will manage day-to-day workloads, sprint planning, and project execution across the local METAL, METALDEV, and METALNET domains. This highly cross-functional leadership role requires close collaboration with North American engineering leaders to align local teams with global technical roadmaps, partner with recruiting to attract top-tier talent, and foster a strong engineering culture centered on ownership, accountability, and operational excellence.

Who You Are:

• 5+ years of experience in hardware, infrastructure, systems, networking, or platform engineering roles within data centre, cloud, or high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
• 2+ years of direct people management experience, including hiring, coaching, performance management, and developing engineers or emerging team leads.
• Proven track record of growing or scaling teams, establishing tailored hiring processes, and onboarding technical talent effectively.
• Strong technical depth in one or more of the following: server hardware, firmware/BMC technologies, Linux systems, hardware automation, GPU infrastructure, or HPC networking.
• Proven experience leading operational or engineering teams responsible for live production infrastructure at scale.
• Strong project and execution management skills, with a track record of building lightweight, effective processes that increase predictability and execution speed.
• Demonstrated ability to work cross-functionally across engineering, operations, support, supply chain, and data centre functions to resolve complex blockers.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate technical status, trade-offs, and risks to stakeholders.

Preferred:

• Experience standing up a brand-new engineering team or expanding an existing function into a new geography.
• Experience managing distributed or multi-disciplinary engineering teams.
• Hands-on experience with server fleet operations, hardware qualification, firmware lifecycle management, and production incident response.
• Familiarity with BMC technologies and management interfaces such as Redfish or IPMI.
• Scripting and automation experience with Python, Go, Bash, Ansible, or similar tooling.
• Familiarity with Kubernetes-based services, observability systems, and distributed production environments.
• Experience with GPU platforms, NVLink, NVSwitch, InfiniBand, or other high-bandwidth / low-latency interconnect technologies.

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 a few qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. If some of this describes you, we’d love to talk.

• You love to hire thoughtfully, build balanced multi-disciplinary teams, and mentor engineers to help them grow into higher-impact roles.
• You’re curious about bridging the gap between hardware infrastructure and software automation to drive absolute operational excellence.
• You’re an expert in bringing structure, accountability, and momentum to fast-moving environments while executing smoothly across international organizational boundaries.
