Join Mizuho as a Compute & Storage Engineering Lead! Mizuho is hiring a Director to lead Compute & Storage Engineering within Infrastructure Engineering & Architecture. You will own the people, delivery and operating rhythm of the team that designs, builds and evolves the firm's compute, storage and virtualization platforms as they modernize across the hybrid estate. This is a management-first role: you are accountable for how the team operates and delivers, not for performing the engineering work directly. Your focus is building a high-performing team, running delivery with clear accountability, and making sure the right work gets done well.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Lead and grow the team. Hire, set clear expectations, run performance and career conversations, and develop engineers into senior and technical leadership roles. Build a culture of accountability and technical rigor.
- Own delivery. Run a single book of work across projects, lifecycle and demand. Plan capacity, sequence priorities, track commitments and escalate early.
- Run the operating rhythm. Own planning, status reporting, risks and issues, budget input and resourcing for the team.
- Own production readiness. Nothing moves into production until its risks are understood. Assess readiness across resiliency, capacity, failure modes and supportability, and hand platforms to operations with documentation, monitoring and a support model in place.
- Uphold controls. Keep the team aligned with change management, audit, regulatory and resilience requirements, and drive technology risk remediation to closure.
- Manage strategic vendors. Own OEM and platform vendor relationships, including roadmaps, escalations, lifecycle and renewals.
- Represent the team. Give senior technology leadership clear status, trade-offs and decisions.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
What You'll Bring
- 12+ years in infrastructure engineering, including 5+ years leading engineering teams.
- A track record of delivering complex infrastructure programs, such as data center builds, platform migrations or large hardware refreshes, with clear accountability for outcomes.
- A hands-on background in compute and virtualization, including VMware vSphere at enterprise scale. You are technical enough to earn engineers' respect, challenge a plan and make sound trade-off calls, while leaving design authority with technical leads.
- Working knowledge of enterprise storage platforms.
- Experience delivering clean, well-documented handovers to operations teams.
- Experience hiring, developing and retaining strong engineers, and addressing underperformance directly.
- Program and financial discipline: capacity planning, budgets, vendor and contract management.
- Experience in a regulated environment, ideally financial services, with change, risk and audit controls.
- Clear, concise communication with engineers and senior stakeholders alike.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
Nice to have
- Deeper enterprise storage engineering experience, such as NetApp, Pure Storage or HPE storage.
- Experience with Red Hat OpenShift (including OpenShift Virtualization), Microsoft Azure IaaS and bare metal provisioning, or the ability to develop proficiency quickly.
- Infrastructure as code and automation, such as Terraform, Ansible and API-driven provisioning.
- Experience leading large-scale workload migrations between platforms.
- Experience with FinOps or cost transparency for infrastructure services.
COMPENSATION
The expected base salary ranges from $150k-$200k. Salary offers are based on a wide range of factors including relevant skills, training, experience, education, and, where applicable, certifications and licenses obtained. Market and organizational factors are also considered. In addition to salary and a generous employee benefits package, successful candidates are eligible to receive a discretionary bonus.
OTHER REQUIREMENTS
In office attendance is an essential function of this role. There is currently a requirement to be in the office a minimum 50% of the time, or five out of every 10 business days. Specific information about the requirements for your role will be communicated during the recruitment process.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Senior Storage Engineer
Document your storage certifications before applying
PERM requires your employer to prove your qualifications match the job requirements exactly. Gather certifications like NetApp NCSE, EMC, or HPE Storage before the labor certification filing, since added credentials mid-process can trigger an RFE.
Target employers with active PERM filing histories
Search DOL OFLC disclosure data for companies that have filed PERM applications for storage or infrastructure engineer roles. Employers who have successfully certified similar positions understand the process and are far less likely to abandon sponsorship midway.
Understand how EB-3 eliminates H-1B cap pressure
Unlike H-1B visa, EB-3 green card sponsorship has no lottery and no annual cap that blocks filing. For nationals of India or China, the priority date backlog is the real bottleneck, so get your I-140 approved early to lock in the earliest possible priority date.
Verify your role qualifies under EB-2 advanced degree requirements
EB-2 covers Senior Storage Engineer candidates with a master's degree or a bachelor's plus five years of progressive storage experience. If your degree is in computer science or electrical engineering, USCIS generally accepts it as the qualifying advanced degree without additional evaluation.
Use Migrate Mate to filter jobs by sponsorship willingness
Search for Senior Storage Engineer roles on Migrate Mate, which surfaces positions specifically matched to employment-based green card sponsorship so you spend your time on employers who have already committed to the PERM process.
Negotiate the PERM job description before the offer is finalized
The labor certification locks in the job duties and minimum requirements permanently. Ask your prospective employer to align the job description with your actual credentials before DOL filing, since USCIS will compare your I-140 qualifications directly against the certified PERM.
Green Card Senior Storage Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior Storage Engineer role typically qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Senior Storage Engineer positions can qualify under either category. EB-2 applies if the role requires a master's degree or a bachelor's degree plus at least five years of progressive storage engineering experience. EB-3 covers roles requiring a bachelor's degree with less extensive experience. Many employers file under EB-2 given the specialized SAN, NAS, and enterprise storage expertise the role demands.
How does the PERM green card process differ from H-1B sponsorship for this role?
H-1B is a temporary work visa with an annual lottery cap and a maximum six-year stay. PERM-based green card sponsorship has no lottery, no annual cap on filings, and leads to permanent residency. The tradeoff is timeline: PERM labor certification alone takes six to twelve months before USCIS even receives the I-140 petition, making early employer conversations essential.
What credentials strengthen a Senior Storage Engineer's PERM application?
DOL requires the job description to match the candidate's actual qualifications precisely. Vendor certifications such as NetApp NCSE, Dell EMC Proven Professional, or VMware VCP-SAN reinforce specialty occupation arguments. A degree in computer science, information systems, or electrical engineering paired with documented storage infrastructure experience reduces the risk of a USCIS RFE during the I-140 stage.
Where can I find Senior Storage Engineer jobs that offer green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lets you search specifically for Senior Storage Engineer positions where employers have indicated employment-based green card sponsorship. Filtering by sponsorship intent upfront saves significant time compared to applying broadly and discovering late in the interview process that an employer won't support PERM filing.
What happens to my green card application if I change employers mid-process?
If you change employers after your I-140 is approved and your priority date is more than 180 days old, AC21 portability lets you transfer the approved petition to a new employer in a same or similar occupational classification. For storage engineers, roles involving enterprise storage administration, infrastructure management, or data center operations generally qualify as sufficiently similar under USCIS guidelines.
