Staff Product Manager, Data Services

CoreWeave•Sunnyvale, CA

6h•$188,000 - $275,000•Hybrid

About The Position

The Data Services Team builds and operates the data platform that powers CoreWeave's AI cloud, from transactional and analytical storage to streaming, metadata, and governance. We give our customers and CoreWeave engineers the primitives they need to ingest, store, process, and serve data at the scale and performance that next-generation AI workloads demand. If you want to define how data flows across a rapidly scaling AI cloud, and turn that strategy into infrastructure others depend on, this is your team. As a Staff Product Manager for Data Services, you'll own the end-to-end strategy, roadmap, and execution for CoreWeave's data services portfolio: databases, data lakes, streaming, metadata and catalog, and data sharing and integration. You'll shape a multi-year vision for how our data services underpin AI and GPU workloads, then lead delivery from 0 to 1 and 1 toN. That means working directly with strategic customers and partners, collaborating closely with engineering and GTM, evaluating emerging data technologies, and ensuring our services are secure, reliable, and easy to adopt. The hardest problems you'll tackle are around scale, throughput, and performance for GPU-intensive applications, and you'll have real influence over the architecture to solve them.

Requirements

8+ years of product management experience in data platforms, databases, analytics, or cloud infrastructure, with at least 3-4 years focused on data services (managed databases, streaming, data warehouses, data lakes, or governance platforms)
Technical fluency in: Relational and/or distributed databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, SingleStore, Snowflake, BigQuery)
Streaming and pipelines (e.g., Kafka, CDC, ETL/ELT, lakehouse architectures, real-time data sharing)
Data security and governance (encryption, IAM/RBAC, data masking, network isolation, compliance)
A track record of owning complex, API-first platform products from concept through multiple release cycles
Strong communication skills - able to create clarity from ambiguity, influence without authority, and translate technical depth for any audience
Comfort operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where the answer isn't always obvious

Nice To Haves

Staff or Director-level PM experience at a database vendor, cloud provider, or high-growth infrastructure company
Hands-on experience with managed data services on AWS, Azure, or GCP (e.g., RDS, Aurora, Cosmos DB, BigQuery)
Background in hybrid or multi-cloud architectures: connectivity, data locality, replication
Experience with AI/ML data products: feature stores, vector search, real-time analytics, or serving pipelines for LLM workloads
Familiarity with SaaS/PaaS packaging and usage-based or tiered pricing models
Prior engineering or architecture experience on data or distributed systems

Responsibilities

Product strategy and roadmap across the data services portfolio, balancing near-term delivery with long-term bets

Cross-functional alignment with engineering, GTM, and leadership to drive clarity and execution in a fast-moving environment
Market and competitive analysis to surface opportunities, validate priorities, and keep us ahead of the curve
API-first platform thinking - partnering with architects on service designs, SLAs, and operational excellence
