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. 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).
Additional Information

Tips for Your Remote Storage Administrator Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote storage administrator openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your skills and apply directly without sorting through postings mixed with on-site work.
Show your async communication in writing
Remote storage administrator hiring managers screen for written clarity because coordination happens over tickets, documentation, and chat. Include a sample runbook, incident post-mortem, or change log in your application materials to prove you communicate technical work without ambiguity.
Highlight distributed storage platforms by name
Remote employers scan for specific platforms before reading further. Name the exact tools you've used, such as Pure Storage, NetApp ONTAP, Veeam, AWS S3, or Azure Blob Storage, so your profile clears the first technical filter without needing a follow-up conversation.
Demonstrate independent troubleshooting on past work
Remote roles require you to diagnose and resolve storage incidents without escalating to someone nearby. Describe a specific incident you resolved autonomously, the tools you used to identify the root cause, and how you documented the fix for the rest of a distributed team.
Remote Storage Administrator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote storage administrator job?
Remote storage administrator roles go to candidates who can demonstrate self-direction and clear written communication alongside the technical skills. Employers look for hands-on experience with SAN, NAS, and cloud storage platforms like AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage, and want to see that you can troubleshoot independently without walking down the hall. Documenting your processes, writing clear incident reports, and showing async collaboration experience all give you a concrete edge.
Which companies hire remote storage administrators?
Employers currently hiring remote storage administrators include STONEFLY, SMA AMERICA, and SOLV Energy, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first technology firms, distributed healthcare IT organizations, and financial services companies with multi-site infrastructure tend to hire storage administrators fully remotely most often.
Can you get a remote storage administrator job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level storage administrator roles are harder to land because employers expect you to work independently from day one with minimal oversight. Companies most open to entry-level remote candidates include smaller cloud-native startups and managed service providers. A home lab, a relevant certification like CompTIA Storage+, and demonstrated ability to document and communicate technical work in writing can substitute meaningfully for direct job experience.
Do you need a degree for remote storage administrator jobs?
Not always. Remote employers weigh practical skills and results more heavily than a formal degree for storage administrator roles. What matters most is proven experience managing storage systems, familiarity with backup and replication tools, and the ability to work without in-person supervision. Certifications from vendors like NetApp, Dell EMC, or cloud providers carry real weight and often substitute for a degree in hiring decisions.
Which industries hire the most remote storage administrators?
Most remote storage administrator openings sit in Technology & Software and Consulting & Professional Services, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors hire storage administrators remotely because their teams are distributed across multiple sites or data centers and need administrators who can manage infrastructure effectively without being on-site.
