Job Title: Production Engineer, AI Storage for HPC Clusters L2
Quantity: 2–5 openings
Location: United States Candidates Only!
Work Arrangement: 100% REMOTE
About the Role
The customer's Cloud Foundation AI Services team builds and operates the storage that lets AI researchers train models reliably and efficiently across cloud environments.
We connect high-performance filesystems, object storage, and data-management services to AI compute, so training datasets and model checkpoints are fast and available wherever they are needed.
We are looking for a hands-on storage system engineer who can turn demanding AI workloads into reliable, scalable infrastructure. The work spans software development, performance analysis, automation, and production ownership.
- Build and operate distributed file and object storage for AI training: shared researcher filesystems, training datasets, and model checkpoints.
- Diagnose and improve end-to-end storage performance (metadata, throughput, latency, caching, network) so storage I/O stops stalling training.
- Automate the storage lifecycle (provisioning, scaling, upgrades, recovery) using Kubernetes and infrastructure-as-code.
- Move and migrate data across clusters, regions, and clouds without losing integrity or slowing researchers down.
- Keep it reliable through observability, alerting, testing, safe rollouts, and incident response, partnering with research, security, and storage-provider teams.
Must-Haves
- Built or operated production distributed storage, high-performance filesystems, or large scale data infrastructure.
- Strong Linux skills, and can debug filesystem, network, and concurrency issues in production.
- Writes maintainable software or automation in a language such as Python, Go, C++, or Rust.
- Has owned a reliability or performance improvement end to end, from spotting the problem through deployment and verification.
Nice to Have
- Experience with cloud infrastructure and Kubernetes, or a comparable large-scale orchestration environment.
- Depth in NFS/POSIX and distributed-filesystem internals: metadata, caching, consistency, availability, and recovery.
- Hands-on with one or more distributed or network storage systems such as Hammerspace, Lustre, ZFS/OpenZFS, VAST, or Pure Storage. Depth in comparable systems counts; you do not need every product named here.
- AI or HPC storage patterns: high-throughput data loading, checkpoint writes and restores, metadata-heavy access, and staging data for accelerator clusters.
- Infrastructure-as-code and observability tooling (Terraform, Helm, Kubernetes operators; metrics, tracing, benchmarking), and object/S3 storage with tiering and cross-region movement.
Experience: >10 YEARS.
The expected compensation for this role ranges from $100,000 to $200,000.
Final compensation will depend on various factors, including your geographical location, minimum wage obligations, skills, and relevant experience. Based on the position, the role is also eligible for Wipro's standard benefits including a full range of medical and dental benefits options, disability insurance, paid time off (inclusive of sick leave), other paid and unpaid leave options.
Applicants are advised that employment in some roles may be conditioned on successful completion of a post-offer drug screening, subject to applicable state law.

Senior Level Storage Administrator Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level storage administrator job?
Employers at this level look for demonstrated ownership of large-scale storage environments, hands-on expertise with enterprise platforms like NetApp, Pure Storage, or EMC, and a history of leading infrastructure projects from design through implementation. Candidates who can show they have mentored junior engineers, driven capacity planning decisions, and reduced downtime through proactive architecture improvements stand out in senior level searches.
Which companies hire senior level storage administrators?
Companies hiring senior level storage administrators right now include NVIDIA, MongoDB, and GHD, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level tends to concentrate in large enterprises, federal contractors, healthcare systems, and financial institutions that manage significant on-premises or hybrid storage infrastructure.
Are there remote senior level storage administrator jobs?
Yes, though many senior roles still require some on-site presence for hardware-dependent work. About 22% of senior level storage administrator openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting employer flexibility for professionals who can manage SAN, NAS, and cloud storage environments without being physically present full time.
What makes a storage administrator role senior level?
Senior level storage administrator roles are defined by scope and ownership. Where mid-level administrators execute within defined processes, senior professionals set storage strategy, own architecture decisions, lead capacity planning across the organization, and are accountable for system availability and performance. Mentoring junior staff, evaluating new technologies, and collaborating with infrastructure and security teams are standard expectations at this stage.
Which industries hire the most senior level storage administrators?
Senior Level storage administrator roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Electronics & Hardware, and Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive demand because they operate large volumes of sensitive or mission-critical data that require enterprise-grade storage infrastructure managed by experienced professionals.
