What You'll Do

The API / IAM team is a high-visibility team responsible for CoreWeave's identity platform and the CoreWeave API. We design and operate the authentication, authorization, account-management, and access-control services that every CoreWeave product relies on. We own the interfaces that give customers programmatic control over their cloud resources, including REST / gRPC endpoints, Infrastructure-as-code, and more.

As the Engineering Manager for API / IAM, you will lead, mentor, and scale a distributed team of backend engineers working at the intersection of security, platform architecture, and developer experience. Some of what you'll work on :

• Lead & grow the team – coach 6-10 backend engineers, set clear goals, run regular 1-on-1s, and foster an inclusive, high-performance culture.
• Own the API / IAM roadmap – partner with product, security and engineering teams to define and sequence work on authentication, authorization, identity primitives, service tokens, and first-class developer APIs.
• Guide technical direction – facilitate design reviews, unblock complex architecture decisions, and ensure that our identity and edge services are scalable, secure, observable and efficient.
• Raise the engineering bar – drive test strategy, CI / CD hygiene, on-call quality, and post-incident learning so production health stays "five nines" strong.
• Hire for hyper-growth – partner with recruiting, and lead interviews to expand the team's capacity and skill diversity.
• Deliver business outcomes – define and track OKRs, balance tech-debt vs. features, and communicate progress to senior leadership and stakeholders.

Who You Are

We're looking for a thoughtful leader who blends technical depth with strategic vision, and thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments. If you value clarity over complexity, mentorship over management, and resilience over rigidity, you'll fit right in.
