[Hiring] Senior Storage Systems Engineer @Mirantis

3wks ago - Mirantis is hiring a remote Senior Storage Systems Engineer. πŸ’Έ Salary: unspecified πŸ“Location: USA

Role Description

The 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 β€” 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.

About the Role

We are looking for a senior systems engineer who treats storage as infrastructure to be automated, observed, and tuned β€” 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.

Responsibilities

  • Storage Integration & Operation
    • Integrate NFS-based high-performance storage (e.g., VAST, Dell PowerScale) into Kubernetes clusters via CSI, storage classes, and persistent volumes.
    • Tune the NFS data path β€” mount options, nconnect/RDMA, Linux client, and network settings β€” for high-throughput, low-latency GPU/AI workloads.
    • Deploy and operate storage services and operators; manage capacity, quotas, snapshots, and lifecycle.
  • Linux Platform & System Integration
    • Configure and optimize Linux systems for storage workloads, including driver setup, file system layout, network tuning, and kernel parameter optimization.
    • Deliver storage integration for k0s-based Kubernetes via Cluster API (CAPI) and K0rdent management/child cluster topologies.
    • Operate storage in fully disconnected (air-gapped) environments, including local artifact/mirror connectivity (Harbor) and PKI/TLS considerations.
  • Automation & Observability
    • Automate storage provisioning and configuration with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/OpenTofu) and GitOps pipelines (ArgoCD or Flux).
    • Build monitoring, alerting, and observability for storage performance, capacity, and health.
    • Diagnose and resolve performance, reliability, and scaling issues across the storage stack.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of experience in SRE or hardware/storage infrastructure operations
  • 5+ years of building/operating distributed production storage systems at scale
  • 7+ years of experience in Linux and K8s storage fundamentals (NFS, CSI)
  • 1+ years of experience integrating with or building high-performance storage solutions (VAST, Weka, DDN, PowerScale)

Benefits

  • Work with an established Silicon Valley leader in the cloud infrastructure industry
  • Work with exceptionally passionate, talented and engaging colleagues, helping Fortune 500 and Global 2000 customers implement next-generation cloud technologies
  • Be a part of cutting-edge, open-source innovation
  • Thrive in the high-energy environment of a young company where openness, collaboration, risk-taking, and continuous growth are valued
  • Professional development and training
  • Attend conferences and working groups
  • Company outings, happy hours, hackathons, and tech talks
  • Receive a competitive compensation package with a strong benefits plan
