NVIDIA is leading the way in groundbreaking developments in Artificial Intelligence, High-Performance Computing, and Visualization. The GPU, our invention, serves as the visual cortex of modern computers and is at the heart of our products and services. Our work opens up new universes to explore, enables unique creativity and discovery, and powers what were once science fiction inventions, from artificial intelligence to autonomous cars. NVIDIA is looking for phenomenal people like you to help us accelerate the next wave of artificial intelligence.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Join our team at NVIDIA as a Senior Storage Platform Engineer responsible for designing, deploying, and operating the storage platforms that power NVIDIA's EDA FARM, software engineering, AI/ML teams, and engineering workflows at scale. You will own the full lifecycle of our multi-vendor storage infrastructure while simultaneously building the automation, pipelines, and integrations that turn storage into a scalable, self-service platform. You will drive Infrastructure as Code adoption across various Storage platforms, and ensure our storage estate is tightly integrated with CMDB, observability, configuration management, and self-service tooling.
What You'll Be Doing:
- Lead end-to-end deployment of storage systems across NetApp, Pure Storage, Cloudian, and DDN, owning timelines, configuration quality, and delivery against project milestones.
- Define and enforce configuration standards, baselines, and operational runbooks across all platforms; ensure every deployment is consistent, documented, and auditable.
- Design and implement Infrastructure as Code frameworks (Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent) to automate provisioning, configuration management, and lifecycle operations across all storage platforms.
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for storage configuration deployments — ensuring every change is reviewed, tested, and rolled out in a repeatable, validated manner.
- Develop and own integrations between storage platforms and the broader infrastructure ecosystem: CMDB for asset discovery and inventory sync, observability stacks for metrics and alerting, configuration management tools for drift detection, and self-service portals that let engineering teams provision storage on demand.
- Manage day-2 operations including capacity planning, firmware and software lifecycle management, performance tuning, and root cause analysis.
- Partner with stakeholders like chip design teams, software engineering, research and application teams to deliver integrated, fit-for-purpose storage solutions for engineering workloads.
- Champion GitOps practices for storage — every configuration tracked, every change reviewed, no manual snowflakes.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- 8+ years of hands-on experience with enterprise storage systems in large-scale production environments.
- Deep working knowledge of at least three platforms from our stack: NetApp ONTAP (NFS/NAS), Pure Storage FlashArray or FlashBlade, Cloudian HyperStore (S3 object), DDN (Lustre/EXAScaler or high-performance NAS).
- Strong command of storage protocols — NFS, SMB, iSCSI, NVMe-oF, S3, and Lustre.
- Proven experience building infrastructure automation with Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent IaC tools.
- Proficiency in Python, Go, or similar, with a track record of building reusable tooling rather than one-off scripts.
- Experience integrating storage systems with CMDB platforms (ServiceNow, Nautobot, Cerebro or equivalent) and observability stacks (Prometheus/Grafana, Splunk, Datadog, or equivalent).
- Solid experience with CI/CD platforms (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or equivalent) and Git-based workflows.
- Ability to work across teams and translate infrastructure needs into platform capabilities.
- MS Degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
- You've worked in HPC, AI/ML, or large-scale research computing environments where storage is mission-critical and throughput matters.
- You've built self-service storage provisioning workflows — not just automated deployments, but systems that enable other teams to move independently.
- You are experienced with containerization technologies, such as Docker, Mesosphere DCOS, Kubernetes (k8s).
- You've contributed to or maintained internal developer tools or platform APIs — not just consumed them.
COMPENSATION
Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 168,000 USD - 270,250 USD for Level 4, and 208,000 USD - 333,500 USD for Level 5. You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
Applications for this job will be accepted at least until September 14, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship as a Storage Engineer
Align your degree to storage specializations
USCIS requires your degree field to match the role. A computer science or information systems degree maps cleanly to storage engineering, but a general IT or unrelated degree may trigger a Request for Evidence. Get a credential evaluation before you apply.
Target employers with active LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data for companies that have filed LCAs for storage or infrastructure roles. Employers already familiar with the E-3 visa LCA process move faster and make fewer errors in your paperwork.
Separate your job title from your job duties in applications
Many storage roles carry titles like 'IT Engineer' or 'Systems Administrator' that don't automatically read as specialty occupations. Make sure your offer letter and resume explicitly list storage-specific duties like SAN management, disaster recovery architecture, or cloud storage provisioning.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for LCA and consulate prep
Once you have an offer, use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork end-to-end. Storage roles often involve multi-site or hybrid cloud environments that require precise job description language to satisfy DOL prevailing wage classification.
Confirm your employer's E-Verify enrollment before offer stage
E-Verify enrollment isn't required for all E-3 employers, but some enterprise storage teams sit inside federal contractors who are mandated to enroll. Confirm enrollment status early so your start date isn't delayed by compliance onboarding after you sign.
Request a detailed offer letter covering your work location
If your storage role involves managing infrastructure across multiple data centers, your offer letter should specify your primary worksite. The consular officer will review this against your LCA, and location mismatches are a common reason for administrative processing delays.
E-3 Visa Storage Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Storage Engineer jobs with E-3 visa sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists Storage Engineer roles at companies actively willing to sponsor Australian nationals on the E-3 visa. Unlike general job boards, the listings are filtered for E-3 eligibility so you're not cold-applying to employers unfamiliar with the process. Search by role and location to see current openings with sponsorship confirmed.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Storage Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for the E-3?
Yes, storage engineering qualifies as a specialty occupation when the position requires a bachelor's degree or higher in computer science, information systems, electrical engineering, or a closely related field. Roles focused on enterprise SAN environments, cloud storage architecture, or data protection systems consistently meet the specialty occupation standard. Titles like 'Storage Administrator' or 'IT Engineer' can qualify, but your offer letter must describe duties that require that specific degree.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for Storage Engineers in the U.S.?
The E-3 is available exclusively to Australian citizens and has a 10,500 annual allocation that has never been fully used, so there's no lottery and no cap risk. The H-1B visa, by contrast, is subject to an oversubscribed annual lottery with a roughly 25% selection rate for most applicants. For Storage Engineers, that means an E-3 can be filed any time of year after a job offer, while an H-1B may require waiting through multiple lottery cycles before starting work.
Can I switch storage employers after my E-3 is approved?
You can change employers on the E-3, but the new employer must file a fresh LCA with the DOL and you'll need a new visa stamp before re-entering the U.S. if you travel internationally. There's no portability provision like the H-1B has under AC21. If your new role involves different storage technologies or a different job title, confirm the new position still meets the specialty occupation definition before your existing E-3 expires.
