Senior Software Engineer (Storage) - Remote US

About the role

Mirantis, a Kubernetes-native AI infrastructure company, is hiring a Senior Software Engineer (Storage) to design and build the software that provisions, integrates and operates high-performance storage for GPU-accelerated compute and AI platforms. The role covers control-plane services, drivers and tooling that connect enterprise and scale-out storage systems to Kubernetes workloads across hybrid, edge and air-gapped deployments on the Mirantis K0rdent stack. It is a remote position.

Key responsibilities

• Design and build control-plane services, drivers (e.g. CSI) and tooling that provision, configure and operate storage for Kubernetes-based AI and compute workloads.
• Integrate high-performance storage platforms such as Dell PowerScale and VAST into automated, declarative provisioning workflows.
• Build data-path, telemetry and observability tooling to diagnose and resolve performance, reliability and scaling issues.
• Write production-quality software in Go with strong testing, code review and operational rigor.
• Deliver infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/OpenTofu) and GitOps-driven pipelines (ArgoCD or Flux) for storage configuration and lifecycle.
• Support bare-metal and hybrid provisioning where storage intersects host and cluster bring-up.
• Deliver storage integration for k0s-based Kubernetes via Cluster API (CAPI) and K0rdent management/child cluster topologies.
• Architect storage software for fully disconnected (air-gapped) environments, including local artifact/mirror connectivity (Harbor) and PKI/TLS considerations.

Required profile

• 5+ years of software development, including production systems, with Go as a primary language.
• 5+ years building or integrating storage systems (distributed, scale-out, NAS or object) at scale.
• Hands-on experience with high-performance storage platforms such as Dell PowerScale, VAST or comparable technologies.
• Solid understanding of storage fundamentals: file/block/object models, throughput and latency behavior, caching, consistency and failure modes.
• Experience with Kubernetes storage (CSI, persistent volumes, storage classes) and infrastructure-as-code.
• Strong written and verbal communication with technical audiences.

Preferred

• Proficiency in Python and/or Rust in addition to Go.
• Experience with the Mirantis K0rdent stack (K0rdent Enterprise, K0rdent AI, k0s, MKE) and Cluster API.
• Experience developing storage for GPU/AI workloads (high-throughput data pipelines, GPUDirect Storage).
• Proven experience in sovereign or high-security air-gapped environments.
