About the Team

CoreWeave is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead the object storage control plane team, part of the distributed storage infrastructure behind CoreWeave's AI Object Storage produict. This team manages the systems that make CoreWeave's object storage trustworthy and efficient: data lifecycle, billing, durability auditing, performance and storage capacity management, data placement, and bucket metadata, along with upcoming investments into storage availability zones. The control plane is built in Go, the team sits at the center of how object storage scales, and we are actively growing it with a focus on the US.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the engineers who own object storage's control plane services: lifecycle, billing, durability auditing, capacity management, placement, and bucket metadata
• Learn the architecture, service boundaries, and dependencies deeply in your first 30 days, and build relationships with engineers, product partners, and partner-team leads
• Identify delivery risks, operational gaps, and unclear ownership, and fix them
• Lead planning and execution as priorities shift, including the upcoming investment in storage availability zones
• Keep the bar high on reliability and operational excellence for systems that customers bill against
• Hire and grow the team

Qualifications:

• Years of Experience: 8+ years in software engineering with 1+ years managing engineers building control plane, metadata, or distributed infrastructure systems
• Education Experience (if applicable): BS or MS in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
• Your teams have built distributed control planes or metadata systems in production, not only run them
• Technically credible in Go or a comparable systems language; you lead through design and code review
• Experience with correctness-critical systems such as billing, auditing, or placement, where being wrong costs customers money or data
• You have hired engineers and grown a team through change

Preferred Skills:

• Years of Experience (preferred): 5+ years building storage, metadata, or distributed control plane systems as an engineer before moving into management
• Object storage, databases, or large-scale metadata systems
• Capacity management or placement systems at cloud scale
• Experience standing up a new team inside a growing organization
