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. Job DescriptionJob SummaryMirantis is looking for a Technical Product Manager to own storage for k0rdent AI, our control plane for GPU infrastructure and distributed AI workloads. In this role, you will define the storage strategy, roadmap, and feature priorities that determine how operators provision, tier, and scale storage across GPU clusters running large-scale training and inference.GPU cloud storage sits at the intersection of high-performance computing and multi-tenant cloud, and the product must hold both worlds together. You will shape how k0rdent AI reasons about parallel file systems (Lustre, GPFS, BeeGFS, WEKA, VAST, DAOS), S3-compatible object stores for training data and checkpoints, automated tiering between hot NVMe and capacity tiers, and GPUDirect Storage paths that bypass the CPU to feed accelerators at line rate. These layers are typically operated as disconnected silos, with storage admins, platform teams, and ML engineers each owning a slice. Your job is to make them a coherent, declarative product.The ideal candidate brings strong technical fluency in classical storage and the AI stack. You will work directly with engineering to shape requirements, with marketing to sharpen positioning, and with field teams to convert technical depth into wins in competitive GPU cloud and NeoCloud deals. ResponsibilitiesOwn the vision, roadmap, and priorities for k0rdent AI storage, defining how customers design, automate, and operate every aspect of their storage stack, including parallel file systems, object storage, tiering, snapshots, data protection, and moreTranslate requirements from NeoClouds, GPU clouds, telcos, sovereign clouds, and enterprise platform teams into clear product directionPartner with engineering and architecture to define requirements, evaluate trade-offs, and ship secure, scalable, reliable storage capabilitiesManage the storage backlog, using feedback from production deployments and design partners to refine roadmap priorities and positioningDefine positioning, packaging, and competitive differentiation for k0rdent AI storageCreate field-facing assets, including technical briefs, battlecards, and reference architectures; support strategic accounts as the storage product leadRepresent Mirantis at events, analyst briefings, and customer advisory boards; engage storage, silicon, and ecosystem partners on reference architecture alignmentQualificationsQualifications5+ years in product management, technical product management, or a senior technical role owning a storage product, platform, or large-scale storage estateHands-on familiarity with parallel and distributed file systems (Lustre, GPFS/Spectrum Scale, BeeGFS, WEKA, VAST, DAOS), S3-compatible object storage, and block storage at scaleFluency in Linux storage, Kubernetes storage (CSI, dynamic provisioning, storage classes), software-defined storage, hyperscale or service provider storage, or storage automationHands-on experience with modern GPU cluster...
