Junior Go Engineer, Kubernetes AI Platform

Mirantis; Raleigh (NC); On-site; USD 90,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

Mirantis, an IREN company, invites a new graduate software engineer to join the k0rdent AI project, the multi-tenant control plane for enterprise GPU infrastructure. You will write Go services, Kubernetes tooling, and tests that run against real clusters, collaborating with senior engineers across the US, Europe, and India to accelerate your growth.

This role offers learning opportunities across backend services, test harnesses, SDKs, and debugging in live clusters, within an agile team

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field — or equivalent demonstrated ability.
• Solid CS fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, concurrency, networking, and how HTTP and databases actually work.
• Proficiency in at least one systems or backend language (Go, Java, C++, Rust, C#, or Python) and the ability to become productive in Go quickly.
• Working knowledge of SQL and relational data modeling.
• Comfort with Git, the command line, and Linux.
• Evidence of self-driven building — internships, personal projects, open-source contributions, hackathons, or coursework you took further than the assignment required.
• Clear written communication; able to explain a problem and a proposed fix in text to a distributed team.
• Genuine curiosity about infrastructure, distributed systems, and how large-scale platforms are built.

Responsibilities

• Build and extend Go services, database schemas, and REST API endpoints for the k0rdent AI platform.
• Write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests as a normal part of every change.
• Debug failures across the stack — from an API response, through service code and workflow orchestration, down to a Kubernetes cluster.
• Contribute to internal tooling, automation, and client SDKs that make the whole team faster.
• Participate in code review — both receiving detailed feedback and, over time, giving it.
• Write and update technical documentation so the next person does not have to rediscover what you learned.
• Take on unfamiliar problems, learn the surrounding technology, and come back with a working answer.
