Mirantis; Raleigh (NC); Remote; USD 140,000 - 190,000; Full time

Job summary

Mirantis is building an enterprise AI infrastructure product that lets organizations run and govern large language models on their own Kubernetes clusters. You will join a small senior team with broad ownership of the model-serving layer and its path to production.

Design and build LLM serving infrastructure on Kubernetes, including deployment, GPU scheduling, scaling, and lifecycle management. This remote-first role offers strong autonomy and opportunities to shape the engineering direction.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in infrastructure, platform, or distributed systems.
• Deep hands-on Kubernetes experience with production workloads and Helm charts.
• Experience with GPU workloads or LLM inference or adjacent systems.
• Strong Go programming; solid CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code skills.
• Familiar with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex).
• Remote-first, autonomous written-culture team experience.

Responsibilities

• Design and build LLM serving infrastructure on Kubernetes.
• Handle deployment, GPU scheduling, scaling, and model lifecycle management.
• Package the platform for enterprise environments using Helm-based installs and offline networks.
• Integrate the serving layer with API gateway, identity, and metering services.
• Build observability for GPU inference in production (metrics and telemetry).
• Contribute across a multi-service codebase and influence engineering direction via design docs.

Committed to open standards and freedom from lock-in, Mirantis ensures that customers retain full control of their infrastructure strategy.

Job Description

Mirantis is building a new enterprise AI infrastructure product that lets organizations run and govern large language models on their own Kubernetes clusters. You will join a small senior team early, with broad ownership of the model-serving layer and its path to production.

What you'll do

Design and build LLM serving infrastructure on Kubernetes: deployment, GPU scheduling, scaling, and model lifecycle management.

Package the platform for enterprise environments: Helm-based installs, upgrades, and restricted/offline networks.

Integrate the serving layer with the platform's API gateway, identity, and metering services.

Build the observability for operating GPU inference in production (serving metrics, GPU telemetry).

Contribute across a multi-service codebase and help set engineering direction through design docs and reviews.

Qualifications

5+ years of software engineering experience in infrastructure, platform, or distributed systems.

Deep hands-on Kubernetes experience: building and operating production workloads and Helm charts, not just consuming managed clusters.

Experience with GPU workloads or LLM inference, or strong adjacent systems experience and a track record of learning fast.

Strong Go programming skills; solid CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code skills.

Fluency with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex) as part of your daily engineering workflow.

Comfortable with high autonomy on a small, remote-first, written-culture team.

Nice to have

Inference performance work (quantization, batching, caching) or distributed serving frameworks.

Enterprise deployment experience: air-gapped installs, SSO/OIDC, supply-chain security.

UI development experience (e.g. React/TypeScript), useful as the product's management surfaces grow.

Open-source contributions in the Kubernetes or ML-infrastructure ecosystems.
