About The Position

Mirantis is seeking an Enterprise Architect to align enterprise customers’ technology landscapes with their business objectives.

It calls for broad technology fluency and the judgment to weigh cost, risk, operational fit, and time-to-value while explaining recommendations to both executives and engineers.

The Enterprise Architect advises customers across cloud, containers, infrastructure, and AI, helping establish architecture principles and make technology decisions that support business outcomes. The position includes on-site customer engagement across regions as part of discovery, design, and advisory work.

• Understanding of VMware vSphere environments sufficient to advise on virtualization strategy and migration paths toward open platforms.
• Understanding of bare-metal provisioning and physical infrastructure lifecycle.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code and configuration-management approaches such as Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent.
• Understanding of enterprise AI inference deployment and governance, including model serving, inference stacks, and related data, security, and governance considerations; deep ML specialization is not required.
• Strong ability to communicate architecture and rationale to business and technical audiences.
• Ability and willingness to travel, primarily within the EU and US.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent experience.

• Establish architecture principles, standards, and reference models for consistent enterprise decision-making.
• Evaluate cloud, container, infrastructure, and AI options and make clear, defensible recommendations about their fit.
