## About the Role

* 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.
 * Hands-on experience with high-performance storage platforms such as Dell PowerScale, VAST, or comparable technologies.
 * 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

 * Proficiency in Python and/or Rust in addition to Go.
 * 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).
 * Proven experience in sovereign or high-security air-gapped environments.

## Description

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., 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.
