What You'll Do

We are seeking an Engineering Manager to lead a team within our build, test, and deploy platform organization, which powers CI/CD for CoreWeave engineering. This role blends hands‑on technical judgment with people leadership - you'll guide your team's execution on continuous integration (CI), build systems, artifact management and release automation, while partnering closely with senior engineers and technical leads on day-to-day design and operational decisions.

You'll be accountable for your team's health and execution, translating broader platform strategy into concrete, achievable work for your team.

In this role, you will:

• Guide the technical direction for your team's area of ownership within the CI, build and artifact management - helping shape design decisions on pipelines, optimizations, or automation.
• Identify opportunities to modernize workflows and reduce friction in the software development lifecycle (SDLC), and help drive adoption of new platform capabilities across internal teams.
• Uphold standards for reliability, performance, and security within your team's scope, balancing high-availability requirements with developer experience.
• Break down roadmap priorities into clear, actionable plans for your team, and track relevant business metrics (e.g. CI reliability, build time, artifactory latency).
• Manage day-to-day execution, including technical debt tradeoffs and unblocking your team to hit measurable outcomes.
• Grow and support your team members directly - regular 1:1s, mentorship, and fostering ownership and collaboration within the team.

Investing in our people is one of our top priorities, and we value candidates who can bring their diversified experiences to our teams. Here are some qualities we've found compatible with our team. We'd love to talk about whether this aligns with your experience and interests and what you're excited to work on next.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including 2+ years directly managing engineers on platform, infrastructure, or internal developer teams.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Hands‑on experience building or operating CI, build or artifact platforms at scale - CI pipelines, release automation, build systems, or artifact management.
