Company mission
To empower developers and innovators to create extraordinary products and services by automating the discovery, integration, and operation of the best cloud and open-source technologies for their unique needs.
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of experience in SRE or infrastructure operations
- 5+ years of building/operating distributed production Storage systems at scale
- Hands-on with High Performance Storage solutions (VAST, Weka, DDN, PowerScale)
- Linux and Kubernetes storage fundamentals (NFS, CSI)
What the job involves
- We are looking for a senior DevOps 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
- 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 — mount options, nconnect/RDMA, Linux client, and network settings — 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
Our take
The global cloud-native applications market has grown rapidly in recent years, as more companies look for scalable and flexible ways to build and run software. Managing these environments - often spread across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid setups - has become increasingly complex. SO that's where Mirantis comes in, focusing on open cloud software and what it calls a ZeroOps approach to simplify operations.
Mirantis offers a range of products used by millions of developers, designed to make it easier to build, deploy, and manage modern applications, Its tools help teams move away for manually handling infrastructure so they can focus more on writing code and delivering new features. As cloud environments continue to evolve, the company is a flexible, open alternative that adapts alongside changing developer needs.
Recently, Mirantis has been pushing further into this space with the development of k0rdent, an open-source platform designed dot act as a "super control plane" for managing Kubernetes across multiple environments. With its latest updates, k0rdent helps teams standardize how they deploy, scale, and monitor applications across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid setups. This focus on simplifying large-scale infrastructure management, combined with an open, community-driven approach, shows Mirantis is doubling down on helping organizations stay flexible while avoiding vendor lock-in.
