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 Specialist Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a senior level storage specialist job?
Employers at this level look for candidates who have owned end-to-end storage architecture decisions, not just supported them. Deep hands-on expertise with enterprise platforms such as NetApp, Dell EMC, or Pure Storage carries weight, and so does a history of leading migrations, disaster recovery planning, or capacity optimization initiatives. Candidates who can demonstrate mentoring junior engineers and influencing infrastructure roadmaps consistently stand out.
Which companies hire senior level storage specialists?
Companies hiring senior level storage specialists 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 among large enterprises, managed service providers, federal contractors, and technology firms that run complex, high-availability storage environments requiring experienced ownership.
Are there remote senior level storage specialist jobs?
Yes, though many senior roles still require some on-site presence for infrastructure access and stakeholder collaboration. About 22% of senior level storage specialist openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting broader flexibility in enterprise IT hiring. Fully remote positions are more common at organizations with cloud-heavy or hybrid storage architectures.
What makes a storage specialist role senior level?
Senior level storage specialist roles are defined by scope and ownership rather than task execution. Responsibilities typically include designing and governing storage architecture, setting capacity and performance standards, leading major migrations or consolidation projects, and mentoring mid-level and junior staff. Senior specialists are expected to advise on vendor decisions, align infrastructure with business goals, and resolve escalated issues independently.
Which industries hire the most senior level storage specialists?
Senior level storage specialist roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Electronics & Hardware, and Manufacturing, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they manage large volumes of sensitive or mission-critical data, require high-availability storage systems, and depend on experienced specialists to maintain compliance, resilience, and long-term infrastructure strategy.
