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
Why you’ll love Mirantis
Build the foundation platform for the AI cloud era, working directly with leading GPU cloud operators, NeoClouds, sovereign clouds, and AI-first enterprises
Collaborate with a world-class, distributed team committed to openness and technical excellence

Tips for Your Remote Storage Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote storage engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your stack and apply directly without sorting through unrelated listings.
Show your async documentation skills
Remote storage teams depend on written runbooks, incident postmortems, and change-control notes. Publish sample documentation, a home-lab wiki, or a GitHub repo with your storage automation scripts to prove you can work without verbal handoffs.
Highlight remote monitoring and alerting experience
Remote storage engineer candidates stand out when they can speak to specific tools they use to monitor arrays, object stores, or cloud volumes without physical access. Name the platforms you know, the alert thresholds you set, and how you handled incidents asynchronously.
Earn a vendor or cloud storage certification
Certifications from NetApp, Pure Storage, or major cloud providers signal that your storage skills are verified, which matters more when a remote hiring manager can't assess you in a data center. Pair it with a hands-on project to make the certification concrete.
Remote Storage Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote storage engineer job?
Target remote-first technology companies, cloud-native startups, and enterprise IT teams that run distributed infrastructure, because those organizations already have the tooling and culture to support remote storage engineers. Hiring managers screen for hands-on experience with storage platforms like NetApp, Pure Storage, or object-storage systems, strong async written communication, and a demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and document without in-person backup. A home lab, public project, or clear runbook portfolio gives you a concrete edge.
Which companies hire remote storage engineers?
Remote storage engineer roles are posted by Mirantis, Bitdeer Technologies, and SOLV Energy and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These tend to be remote-first technology firms, managed service providers, and large enterprises in cloud, financial services, and healthcare that run distributed infrastructure teams across multiple time zones.
Can you get a remote storage engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level storage roles are competitive because employers expect you to troubleshoot independently from day one without someone nearby to ask. Managed service providers and cloud-forward startups are the most likely to hire junior candidates remotely. To stand out, show a home lab setup, document your configurations publicly, earn a vendor certification like NetApp NCDA or a cloud storage badge, and demonstrate clear written communication skills.
Do you need a degree for remote storage engineer jobs?
Not always. Remote employers for this role weigh hands-on skills, vendor certifications, and a verifiable portfolio of storage work more heavily than a diploma, especially at companies running SAN, NAS, or cloud object-storage environments. A proven ability to manage capacity, automate storage tasks, and write clean documentation often carries more weight than a degree, particularly at remote-first organizations that evaluate candidates on output over credentials.
Which industries hire the most remote storage engineers?
Remote storage engineer roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services and Technology & Software, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Those sectors rely on large-scale, distributed data infrastructure that can be managed and monitored remotely, making storage engineering a natural fit for geographically spread teams.
