Field Architect (Federal)
About this role
MinIO is the data and memory foundation for enterprise AI. Built for the speed, scale, and economics that AI and analytics demand, AIStor and MemKV unify every layer of the data stack, from agentic and inference context memory to tables and objects across core, edge, and cloud. Trusted by 77% of the Fortune 100, MinIO is redefining how AI factories, intelligent applications, and autonomous agents secure, persist, and unlock the full value of their data.
The Federal Field Architect at MinIO will bridge our technical platform and the mission requirements of our federal customers. You will bring deep technical expertise to bear across DoW, IC, and civilian agency engagements, spanning data infrastructure for both traditional workloads and AI training and inference at scale, working closely with our Federal Partner Sales team along with Engineering, Support, our channel and systems integrator partners, and our technology ecosystem partners, to ensure customers succeed from Proof of Value through production and beyond, including in air-gapped, classified, and DDIL (Denied, Degraded, Intermittent, Limited) environments.
What You Will Do: Technical Architecture & Design: Architect AIStor deployments for federal customers, spanning on-prem, air-gapped, sovereign cloud, and tactical edge environments, including erasure coding, tiering, and replication topology design. Federal Compliance Expertise: Serve as the technical authority on FIPS 140-3, FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, and Zero Trust alignment, translating compliance requirements into deployable architecture for agency customers and partners.
Proof of Value & Technical Validation: Lead PoVs, technical demonstrations, and reference architecture design for DoW, IC, and civilian agency opportunities, in direct engagement with customers and through our channel partner and FSI ecosystem. Partner Enablement: Provide technical training and architecture guidance to our federal reseller, systems integrator (FSI), and technology ecosystem partners, ensuring they can independently represent and deploy MinIO solutions with confidence.
Ecosystem & Technology Partnerships: Serve as the technical point of contact for joint architecture work with ecosystem partners (e.g., NVIDIA, Databricks, Supermicro), supporting joint solutions, reference architectures, and co-sell motions. Kubernetes & Cloud-Native Deployment: Guide customers and partners on deploying AIStor across Kubernetes distributions common in federal environments, including OpenShift and Rancher.
