Software Development Engineer

Hiring Remotely in USA Entry level Remote Hiring Remotely in USA Entry level Build AI-driven testing, anomaly detection, forecasting, and root-cause analysis tools for the k0rdent AI platform. Develop web drivers, test agents, LLM applications, and observability integrations; evaluate models against measured results; and deploy production tools to Kubernetes using containers, Helm, and CI pipelines. Collaborate with QA, observability, and engineering teams to integrate AI into testing and development workflows., The R&D team in the Office of the CTO builds AI-driven tools that help Mirantis test, monitor and understand the k0rdent AI platform. We are hiring a Software Development Engineer to help own these tools.

This is an entry-level, hands-on engineering role. You will work directly with senior engineering leadership, ship to production environments that other teams depend on, and work at the point where classical ML, LLMs and distributed systems meet.

What You’ll Work On

1. AI-Driven Testing Systems and Solutions

Build and maintain the web driver and test agents that run end-to-end scenarios against the k0rdent web UI and APIs, then turn what they find into clear, reproducible defects for the teams that own the code. A large part of the work is making test runs safe to point at live systems: keeping sessions and context across runs, cleaning up every change a run makes, and requiring a review step before anything is written to shared systems such as Jira. You will also evaluate language models for the harness with repeatable test scenarios, and recommend changes based on measured results.

1. Anomaly Detection and Root-Cause Analysis Systems and Solutions

Develop anomaly detection and capacity forecasting models, such as disk fill and memory leak prediction, using metrics and logs from running k0rdent environments. Measure detection quality against labeled failure sets and real workloads, and improve the models from the results. Build LLM-assisted root-cause analysis that turns a raw alert into a likely cause and a suggested fix, and work with the observability team to deliver confirmed findings into the platform’s alerting and Grafana dashboards.

1. AI in the Development Lifecycle

Help bring these tools into day-to-day engineering at Mirantis, so the test harness runs against new builds and pull requests and reports to the owning teams. Work with the KOF, QA and k0rdent engineering teams to find other places where AI models and data science can improve our software and tooling. Package and deploy what you build to Kubernetes with container images, Helm charts and CI pipelines that follow Mirantis release conventions., Design and maintain automated testing frameworks for cloud-scale distributed systems. Build performance, load, stress, integration, API, end-to-end, chaos, security, and infrastructure tests. Integrate continuous testing into CI/CD pipelines, analyze observability data, validate Kubernetes and microservices environments, and collaborate with Engineering and SRE teams to improve reliability. The role also participates in on-call rotations and helps establish QA strategy and standards across GPU infrastructure, serverless endpoints, storage, billing, and event-driven systems.
