Job description

At Weights & Biases, our mission is to build the best tools for AI developers. We founded our company on the insight that while there were excellent tools for developers to build better code, there were no similarly great tools to help ML practitioners build better models. Starting with our first experiment tracking product, we have since expanded our solution into a comprehensive AI developer platform for organizations focused on building their own deep learning models and generative AI applications.

Weights & Biases is a Series C company with $250M in funding and over 200 employees. We proudly serve over 1,000 customers and more than 30 foundation model builders including customers such as OpenAI, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Toyota.

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced SA/SRE (Solutions Architect / Site Reliability Engineering) Manager to lead our efforts in managing customer-managed deployments, improving on-premise deployments, streamlining upgrades, and building scalable systems and processes through automation.

• Build and maintain automation frameworks to streamline deployment, monitoring, and incident management.
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering teams to enhance software deliverability and maintainability for on-premise environments.
• Establish and enforce best practices for configuration management, infrastructure as code (IaC), and CI/CD pipelines.
• Lead incident response and root cause analysis for critical production issues, ensuring continuous improvement and proactive problem prevention.
• Drive a culture of operational excellence, automation, and continuous improvement across the organization.
• Customer empathy is vital and timely communication with customer stakeholders.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of experience in SRE, DevOps, or Solutions Architecture roles, with at least 2+ years in a managerial or leadership capacity.
• Strong background in managing on-premise and customer-managed deployments at scale.
• Proficiency in infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible, or similar tools) and CI/CD automation.
• Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and cloud/on-prem hybrid architectures.
• Expertise in monitoring, logging, and alerting tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc.).
• Strong scripting and programming skills (Python, Go, Bash, etc.).
• Experience with security and compliance considerations in enterprise software deployments.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence technical and business decisions.
• Experience working in SaaS and enterprise environments is a plus.
