By combining open source innovation with deep expertise in Kubernetes orchestration, Mirantis empowers platform engineering teams to deliver composable, production-ready developer platforms across any environment-on-premises, in the cloud, at the edge, or in sovereign data centers. As enterprises navigate the growing complexity of AI-driven workloads, Mirantis delivers the automation, GPU orchestration, and policy-driven control needed to manage infrastructure with confidence and agility. Committed to open standards and freedom from lock-in, Mirantis ensures that customers retain full control of their infrastructure strategy.\n Overview\nThe role is to deploy, integrate, and operate high-performance storage for GPU-accelerated compute and AI platforms. You will own the storage layer where Kubernetes meets bare metal - standing up NFS-based high-performance storage, wiring it into clusters via CSI, and tuning it to keep data flowing to GPU workloads at scale. Work spans hybrid, edge, and air-gapped deployments built on the Mirantis K0rdent stack.\nAbout the Role\nWe are looking for a senior systems engineer who treats storage as infrastructure to be automated, observed, and tuned - not hand-managed. The right candidate is fluent in Kubernetes storage, deeply versed in Linux storage and networking fundamentals down to the kernel and NFS-client layer, and knows how to make high-performance NAS actually perform under demanding workloads. You should reach for infrastructure-as-code and GitOps by default, be self-directed in diagnosing performance and reliability issues end to end, set operational standards for others to follow, and communicate clearly across teams. Bare-metal hardware experience is a strong plus, but deep Linux storage knowledge is essential.\nResponsibilities\n1. Storage Integration & Operation\nIntegrate NFS-based high-performance storage (e.g., VAST, Dell PowerScale) into Kubernetes clusters via CSI, storage classes, and persistent volumes.\nTune the NFS data path - mount options, nconnect/RDMA, Linux client, and network settings - for high-throughput, low-latency GPU/AI workloads.\nDeploy and operate storage services and operators; manage capacity, quotas, snapshots, and lifecycle.\n2. Linux Platform & System Integration\nConfigure and optimize Linux systems for storage workloads, including driver setup, file system layout, network tuning, and kernel parameter optimization.\nDeliver storage integration for k0s-based Kubernetes via Cluster API (CAPI) and K0rdent management/child cluster topologies.\nOperate storage in fully disconnected (air-gapped) environments, including local artifact/mirror connectivity (Harbor) and PKI/TLS considerations.\n3. Automation & Observability\nAutomate storage provisioning and configuration with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/OpenTofu) and GitOps pipelines (ArgoCD or Flux).\nBuild monitoring, alerting, and observability for storage performance, capacity, and health.\nDiagnose and resolve performance, reliability, and scaling issues across the storage stack.\n Required qualifications:\n7+ years of experience in SRE or hardware/storage infrastructure operations\n5+ years of building/operating distributed production Storage systems at scale\n\n7+ years of experience in Linux and K8s storage fundamentals (NFS, CSI)\n\n1+ years of experience integrating with or building High Performance Storage solutions (VAST, Weka, DDN, PowerScale)\n\n What does Mirantis offer you?\n- Work with an established Silicon Valley leader in the cloud infrastructure industry;\n- Work with exceptionally passionate, talented and engaging colleagues, helping Fortune 500 and Global 2000 customers implement next-generation cloud technologies;\n- Be a part of cutting-edge, open-source innovation;\n- Thrive in the high-energy environment of a young company where openness, collaboration, risk-taking, and continuous growth are valued;\n- Professional development and training;\n- Attend conferences and working groups;\n- Company outings, happy hours, hackathons, and tech talks;\n- Receive a competitive compensation package with a strong benefits plan.\nIt is understood that Mirantis, Inc. may use automated decision-making technology (ADMT) for specific employment-related decisions.
