CoreWeave, the AI Hyperscaler™, acquired Weights & Biases to create the most powerful end-to-end platform to develop, deploy, and iterate AI faster. Since 2017, CoreWeave has operated a growing footprint of data centers covering every region of the US and across Europe, and was ranked as one of the TIME100 most influential companies of 2024. By bringing together CoreWeave’s industry-leading cloud infrastructure with the best-in-class tools AI practitioners know and love from Weights & Biases, we’re setting a new standard for how AI is built, trained, and scaled.

The integration of our teams and technologies is accelerating our shared mission: to empower developers with the tools and infrastructure they need to push the boundaries of what AI can do. From experiment tracking and model optimization to high-performance training clusters, agent building, and inference at scale, we’re combining forces to serve the full AI lifecycle — all in one seamless platform.

Weights & Biases has long been trusted by over 1,500 organizations — including AstraZeneca, Canva, Cohere, OpenAI, Meta, Snowflake, Square,Toyota, and Wayve — to build better models, AI agents and applications. Now, as part of CoreWeave, that impact is amplified across a broader ecosystem of AI innovators, researchers, and enterprises.

As we unite under one vision, we’re looking for bold thinkers and agile builders who are excited to shape the future of AI alongside us. If you're passionate about solving complex problems at the intersection of software, hardware, and AI, there's never been a more exciting time to join our team.

What You’ll Do As a Senior Engineering Manager for the W&B Inference team, you will lead the group responsible for productizing and operating our inference offering. In partnership with CoreWeave AI platform team, you will ensure the service becomes a polished, reliable, developer-friendly product within the W&B platform.

You will guide engineers working on areas such as service reliability, observability, operational excellence, packaging, developer-facing tooling, and application-layer enhancements. You will partner closely with Product, CoreWeave engineering teams, Design, Support, and GTM stakeholders to ensure the inference experience meets the needs of practitioners deploying and scaling real-world AI workloads. Your work will directly support end-users, as well as other products powered by this service, like W&B Training.

You will combine strong engineering leadership with clarity in execution, helping the team deliver improvements that raise reliability, accelerate development workflows, and strengthen the overall inference experience for W&B users.

Responsibilities

• Lead and grow the engineering team responsible for evolving and operating the W&B Inference product, focusing on service reliability, orchestration, operational maturity, and developer experience.
• Drive execution on roadmap initiatives in close partnership with Product, ensuring that platform capabilities are delivered predictably, robustly, and with measurable customer impact.

Who You Are

• 7+ years of experience in software engineering, including 3+ years managing or leading engineering teams responsible for distributed systems, developer platforms, or large-scale services.
• Fluent in concepts related to distributed compute services, including observability, autoscaling patterns, reliability engineering, API design, and service operations.
• Comfortable with competing priorities and making principled trade-offs among latency, reliability, cost, and development velocity.
• Skilled at leading engineering teams through ambiguous, multi-stakeholder projects with strong communication and alignment.
• Deep empathy for ML practitioners and platform developers, with a drive to improve reliability, reduce friction, and elevate the developer experience.

Preferred

• Background in high-scale systems, real-time APIs, or cloud infrastructure, ideally with exposure to model-serving or inference-adjacent domains.
• Background in related platform domains such as IAM, billing/metering, observability systems, or deployment tooling.
