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 DescriptionOverviewDeploy, 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.About the RoleWe 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, comfortable on bare metal down to the disk, 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.Responsibilities1. Storage Integration & OperationIntegrate 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, 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.2. Bare Metal & PlatformProvision and configure storage on bare-metal hosts, including disk layout, drivers, and kernel/network tuning.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.3. Automation & ObservabilityAutomate 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.Qualifications5+ years in DevOps, SRE, or infrastructure operations, with strong hands-on experience operating Kubernetes storage (CSI, persistent volumes, storage classes) in production.Experience integrating and operating NFS-based high-performance / NAS storage, including data-path tuning.Bare-metal operations experience: host provisioning, disk/storage configuration, and Linux storage and networking fundamentals.Proficiency with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/OpenTofu) and GitOps-driven configuration.Scripting/automation skills (e.g., Bash, Python, or Go).Strong written and verbal communication with technical audiences.PreferredHands-on experience with VAST and/or Dell PowerScale.Experience with GPUDirect Storage and RDMA/RoCE data paths.Experience with the...
