Mirantis has more experience delivering OpenStack clouds to more customers than any other company. We build the infrastructure that makes OpenStack work. We are profitable, have strong investors, and ample cash reserves. We are proud to be Founding sponsors of OpenStack and to serve on the OpenStack Foundation Board.

What Linux was to open source and operating systems, OpenStack is to cloud computing. It makes programmable infrastructure vendor-neutral and frictionless to access, not to mention it unlocks distributed applications and accelerates innovation. OpenStack transforms virtualization from an efficiency to a whole new compute paradigm.

If you’re an ambitious Python software engineer and thrive on working on tough, real-world problems, you want to work here. We are building a data center management product (Mirantis OpenStack) which can become the standard choice of a simple but powerful OpenStack deployment tool. We want you to bring ideas of how it should look and implement it. With the tool presently used to deploy OpenStack at the moment, we have an ambitious roadmap which includes live upgrades, network devices management, SDN devices integration and many more.

Technically Mirantis OpenStack consists of JavaScript driven UI which communicates with the REST API backend, written in Python. The backend stores information in the DB, and has complex logical pieces for management of OpenStack networks, disks and some other entities. It then passes the work to a deployment orchestrator, which calls different agents on nodes, including Puppet for the actual deployment.
