Engineering Manager, Artifacts & Registry - W&B

Job Description

You will join the ML Workflows organization as the Engineering Manager for Artifacts & Registry, leading a team of six engineers.

Registry is the organization-level source of truth for what a company has approved for production. It provides access control, protected aliases, lineage, and automation hooks, and it is where a model version goes once it moves out of research. Pinterest, Capital One, Canva, Recursion, and Dropbox all run on it, and for some of them it sits inside a production serving path. Artifacts is the layer underneath it: content-addressable storage, deduplication, lineage, and retention for datasets, model weights, checkpoints, and evaluation outputs, across S3, GCS, Azure, and CoreWeave AI Object Storage. Every object logged to W&B is an artifact.

The team's mandate is also weighted heavily toward closing the gap between CoreWeave's infrastructure and the ML experimentation that happens in W&B. That includes extending the Registry beyond a record of decisions, so that promoting a model version can put it into serving on CoreWeave compute with lineage and access control carried through, and bringing compute and experimentation into a single unified experience rather than separate tools. This work is done in partnership with foundational infrastructure teams at CoreWeave and product teams across the W&B ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Own the full lifecycle, from roadmap shaping through delivery and production reliability
• Partner with product management on prioritization, unblock engineers across team boundaries, and hold the reliability bar while the team ships new capability
• Grow engineers into autonomous leaders and technical decision-makers
• Make hard prioritization calls, and build a team that operates with autonomy and urgency

Requirements

• 3+ years of engineering management experience shipping platform, data, or infrastructure products
• 5+ years of software engineering experience prior to management, with backend systems depth
• Technical fluency in Go (or a comparable statically typed backend language), relational data modeling, and distributed backend systems
• Experience managing teams that own production systems where the durability and correctness of customer data is the primary constraint
• Demonstrated ability to balance product delivery with technical health, covering technical debt, reliability, and on-call
• Experience partnering with product managers to shape a roadmap, including making the case for platform investment with evidence
• Track record of growing engineers across levels, from mid-level through senior
• Strong communication skills with both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity, including product areas where the right level of investment is an open question you're expected to help answer

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ML infrastructure, ML platforms, model registries, or developer tools for data scientists
• Background in large-scale object storage, content-addressable storage, deduplication, or garbage collection over large object graphs
• Depth in query performance and schema migrations against large production databases, and experience with a columnar or OLAP store such as ClickHouse alongside a transactional system of record
• Familiarity with multi-tenant permission models, RBAC, and enterprise access control requirements
• Experience taking a mature, widely-adopted product into a new strategic phase rather than only building from zero
• Experience with post-acquisition platform integration
• Founding experience or early-stage background where you took a product from idea to the hands of users
