Technical Account Manager (OpenStack) - remote in the US

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.

This is a strategically technical, client-facing management role, leading enterprise clients through complex production infrastructure challenges and ensuring operational excellence across Mirantis platforms. As a Technical Account Manager, you will be the primary technical owner for a set of enterprise clients operating Mirantis platforms in production environments.

This role guides clients through incidents, upgrades, and architectural decisions, ensuring their platforms remain stable, performant, and prepared for future growth.

You will work closely with Support, Engineering, and Customer Success teams, acting as a trusted technical advisor to client engineering teams and senior stakeholders responsible for mission-critical systems. You will also lead strategic account reviews, present platform health and risk to executives, and provide recommendations that influence operational direction and long-term platform strategy.
