Manager, Bare Metal Support Engineering

What You’ll Do:

The Customer Experience (CX) Organization at CoreWeave is dedicated to ensuring every client running AI workloads at scale has a seamless, reliable, and high-performance experience. This team supports the infrastructure that powers the AI revolution—working across data centers, hardware systems, and customer workloads to maintain the integrity of our cloud platform. The CX organization aligns closely with the internal and customer engineering teams, offering valuable insights from the field and having the chance to contribute to the CoreWeave product roadmap and development. 

About the Role:

As a Manager of Bare Metal Support Engineering, you'll be at the center of ensuring our dedicated infrastructure remains stable, reliable, and performant. You’ll lead daily support operations, triage incidents, drive escalations, and ensure that hardware is monitored, maintained, and delivered effectively for our clients. You'll oversee a team of experienced Systems Operations Engineers and help build a new team focused on our Bare Metal support model. This role balances tactical execution with operational maturity, working cross-functionally with engineering, product, and infrastructure teams to scale processes as we grow.

In this role, you will:

• Lead a skilled team responsible for maintaining and optimizing physical infrastructure across multiple client environments.
• Build, develop, and lead a dedicated Infrastructure Support team focused on supporting key infrastructure, handling escalations, and ensuring smooth hardware operations.
• Oversee the resolution of infrastructure-related incidents, escalation management, and collaborate with internal teams to deliver effective solutions.
• Improve support processes to enhance efficiency and reduce downtime, ensuring the infrastructure meets client expectations.
• Work closely with product, infrastructure, and other teams to ensure seamless delivery of infrastructure resources.
• Manage client communication during escalations and issue resolution to ensure transparency and client satisfaction.
• Mentor team members, developing their skills to manage and maintain critical infrastructure effectively.

Who You Are

• 5+ years of experience leading teams responsible for infrastructure support, data center operations, or physical compute environments.
• Hands-on experience with Linux system administration and command-line tools.
• Familiarity with hardware-level diagnostics, troubleshooting, and replacement (servers, power, cabling, etc.).
• Experience working with high-performance rack-scale hardware, including CPU and GPU-based compute nodes.
• Understanding of GPU infrastructure (e.g., NVIDIA A100/H100s, PCIe/NVLink, liquid cooling) or a demonstrated ability to quickly learn and adapt to HPC environments.
• Proven track record in incident and escalation management, with direct ownership of client or production-impacting issues.
• Experience managing ticket-based workflows (Jira, Zendesk, etc.) in a high-urgency technical environment.
• Comfortable interpreting and acting on metrics (MTTR, SLOs, backlog, ticket trends) to drive operational improvements.
• Skilled in managing scheduling, shift coverage, and team logistics in 24/7 or hybrid support models.
• Travel up to 30% annually

Preferred:

• Experience managing infrastructure support teams in high-growth or rapidly evolving environments.
• Proven ability to develop and implement operational processes that scale with business needs.
• Strong familiarity with server and GPU hardware lifecycle management: deployment, maintenance, thermal/power concerns, RMA coordination, and decommissioning.
• Demonstrated success in coaching and growing technical teams through training, mentorship, and performance development.
• Skilled in both developing and interpreting metrics to drive accountability, continuous improvement, and executive visibility.
• Familiarity with AI/ML workloads, cluster utilization patterns, or the infrastructure needs of GPU-heavy clients is a plus.

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. 

• Have a track record of improving infrastructure reliability through clear processes and team accountability.
• Think critically about how to scale operations without overengineering.
• Care about delivering for customers—but know when to hold the line to protect the team and long-term goals.
• Communicate clearly, especially under pressure.
• Are comfortable getting close to the work, but know when to step back and lead.
• Thrive in fast-paced environments where priorities can shift quickly.
