MinIO is the industry leader in high-performance object storage and the company behind the world’s fastest, most widely deployed object store, powering production infrastructure for more than half of the Fortune 500, including 9 of the 10 largest global automakers and all 10 of the largest U.S. banks. Our enterprise offering, AIStor, is engineered to handle the scale, speed, and pressure of modern AI and analytics workloads—from terabytes to exabytes—all in a single namespace.

The MinIO team is looking for a technically strong curriculum engineer who is equally at home on a sales call and in a data center. In this role, you'll build and deliver training across the full spectrum of MinIO's technical audience — from storage administrators learning to operate AIStor in production, to field architects preparing for competitive enterprise deals, to partners who need to sell and position MinIO products effectively.

This role has real variety. On any given week, you might be building a hands-on Kubernetes lab, delivering a live enablement session for field architects, adapting a sales deck into a teachable module for partners, or wrapping our core curriculum in a use-case narrative for a specific deployment context. You enjoy that variety. You're as comfortable in front of a room of FAs as you are at a kubectl prompt.

You will collaborate closely with engineering, product marketing, sales leadership, and the field. You welcome the freedom and opportunity of being part of a startup and have the self-discipline to identify needs and get things done without waiting to be asked. You will be encouraged to help shape the strategy that the MinIO team executes.

Previous experience in a field architect, solutions architect, or technical sales role is required — you need to understand how FAs think, what they need in a competitive engagement, and how to make training land in that context. Previous experience with competitive software-defined storage platforms is strongly preferred. Strong oral and written communication skills are essential.

What You Will Do

• Design and deliver field architect curriculum — equipping FAs and Customer Engineers (CEs) with the technical depth and competitive positioning fluency needed to win enterprise deals
• Deliver live and recorded enablement sessions for field architects and, occasionally, non-technical sales audiences
• Develop partner sales curriculum by translating sales and marketing content into structured, teachable modules for partner and reseller audiences
• Build core curriculum for customer administrators and operators — covering installation, configuration, management, and troubleshooting
• Create use-case "wrappers" that reframe core curriculum content for specific deployment contexts and horizontal use cases, with references to vertical specifics where relevant
• Contribute to special projects requiring hands-on technical skill across a broad range of technologies including Linux, Ansible, Python, Kubernetes, and other core technologies
• Build real-world, use case–driven hands-on labs that establish best practices for deploying and operating MinIO products
• Apply prior experience with competitive storage platforms to inform differentiated, insight-rich training content
• Package labs and content into short, outcome-oriented training modules with videos
• Record engaging videos of modules for MinIO Academy, YouTube, and LinkedIn

Your Skills and Experience

• 3+ years working in a Kubernetes environment
• Working proficiency in Linux; comfortable with Ansible, Python, and related tooling
• 1+ years building and maintaining workflows in git
• Demonstrated comfort engaging field architects and sales teams — you genuinely enjoy it
• Strong oral and written communication skills — in writing, in front of a camera, and live
• Previous experience with curriculum development or formal training delivery is a plus, but is not required
