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. https://www.mirantis.com/
Job Description
Role Overview
Design and build the software that provisions, integrates, and operates high-performance storage for GPU-accelerated compute and AI platforms. You will develop the control-plane services, drivers, and tooling that connect enterprise and scale-out storage systems to Kubernetes-based workloads across hybrid, edge, and air-gapped deployments built on the Mirantis K0rdent stack.
About the Role
We are looking for a software engineer who thinks in systems and data paths — someone who can reason about throughput, latency, consistency, and failure across a storage stack, then express that understanding as clean, testable Go. The right candidate has built production software against real storage systems (whether enterprise NAS, scale-out, or object), understands what makes storage fast and reliable at scale, and prefers declarative automation over manual operations. You should be self-directed, comfortable owning ambiguous problems end to end, and effective communicating technical decisions across teams.
Responsibilities
1. Storage Software & Integration
Design and build control-plane services, drivers (e.g., CSI), and tooling that provision, configure, and operate storage for Kubernetes-based AI/compute workloads.
Integrate high-performance storage platforms — Dell PowerScale, VAST, and comparable systems — into automated, declarative provisioning workflows.
Build data-path, telemetry, and observability tooling to diagnose and resolve performance, reliability, and scaling issues.
2. Software & Automation
Write production-quality software — primarily 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.
3. Platform & Hybrid Delivery
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.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications
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.
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
Hands-on experience with high-performance storage platforms such as Dell PowerScale, VAST, or comparable technologies.
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).

Tips for Your Remote Senior Storage Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote senior storage engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your storage platform experience and apply directly without sorting through non-remote listings.
Show your async documentation skills upfront
Remote storage engineering teams run on written communication. Include links to runbooks, architecture decision records, or incident postmortems you authored. Employers hiring remotely want proof you can communicate storage design and troubleshooting decisions clearly without a whiteboard.
Highlight remote-compatible storage platforms you know
Emphasize experience with platforms that distributed teams actually manage remotely, such as Pure Storage, NetApp ONTAP, Ceph, or cloud object storage like S3 and Azure Blob. Naming specific platforms signals you can hit the ground running without on-site orientation.
Prepare for remote technical screens with live environments
Remote senior storage engineer interviews often include live troubleshooting sessions using shared remote desktop tools or cloud sandbox environments. Practice walking through IOPS analysis, snapshot scheduling, or replication configurations aloud, since remote interviewers judge your reasoning process, not just your answers.
Remote Senior Storage Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote senior storage engineer job?
Remote senior storage engineer roles go to candidates who can demonstrate deep hands-on expertise with storage platforms like NetApp, Pure Storage, or Ceph, and who can clearly show they work well without direct supervision. Remote employers screen heavily for written communication skills, comfort with asynchronous collaboration tools like Jira and Confluence, and the ability to troubleshoot complex storage issues independently. A strong portfolio of architecture diagrams, documented migrations, or disaster recovery designs gives you a concrete edge.
Which companies hire remote senior storage engineers?
Companies hiring remote senior storage engineers right now include NVIDIA, Mirantis, and Qumulo, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first technology firms, managed service providers, and distributed cloud infrastructure teams across financial services, healthcare, and enterprise software are among the most active hirers for this role.
Can you get a remote senior storage engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level storage engineer roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal oversight. Cloud-native startups and managed service providers occasionally hire remotely at junior levels. Candidates who show hands-on lab work, home lab builds, or open-source contributions to storage projects, alongside certifications from vendors like NetApp or Dell, can substitute demonstrated skills for formal job history.
Do you need a degree for remote senior storage engineer jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers care more about verifiable storage engineering skills, vendor certifications, and a history of solving real infrastructure problems than a specific degree. Credentials like NetApp Certified Data Administrator, Pure Storage FlashArray certifications, or equivalent platform-specific credentials carry significant weight. A portfolio showing large-scale storage migrations, SAN or NAS deployments, and capacity planning work can speak louder than a diploma alone.
Which industries hire the most remote senior storage engineers?
Most remote senior storage engineer openings sit in Technology & Software, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely on distributed engineering teams that manage large, geographically spread data infrastructures, making senior storage engineers a natural fit for fully remote arrangements.
