About Mirantis

Mirantis is the Kubernetes-native AI infrastructure company, enabling organizations to build and operate scalable, secure, and sovereign infrastructure for modern AI, machine learning, and data-intensive applications. By combining open source innovation with deep expertise in Kubernetes orchestration, Mirantis empowers platform engineering teams to deliver composable, production-ready developer platforms across any environment—on-premises, in the cloud, at the edge, or in sovereign data centers. As enterprises navigate the growing complexity of AI-driven workloads, Mirantis delivers the automation, GPU orchestration, and policy-driven control needed to manage infrastructure with confidence and agility. Committed to open standards and freedom from lock-in, Mirantis ensures that customers retain full control of their infrastructure strategy.

You will engage in both pre-sales and post-sales consulting, guiding customers through complex technology decisions, presenting a compelling vision, and driving successful outcomes.

We’re looking for someone who thrives in uncertainty, takes risks, and challenges conventional thinking, all while working closely with customers to implement scalable, forward-thinking solutions.

  • Expertise in Kubernetes and AI/ML platforms (e.g., Kubeflow, Ray, MLflow).

  • Passion for emerging technologies, next-generation cloud strategies, and AI infrastructure.

  • Strong ability to define direction, take ownership, and drive innovation in a rapidly evolving landscape.

  • Hands-on experience with cloud automation, DevOps, and infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, Helm).

  • Exceptional presentation and storytelling skills, with the ability to influence both engineers and executives.

  • Experience in pre-sales, solutions architecture, or professional services with a consultative approach.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Active contributions to open source projects, working groups, or governance bodies.
  • Experience speaking at OpenStack Summit, KubeCon, AI Summit, or similar industry events.
  • Familiarity with hybrid and multi-cloud strategies using open source technologies.
