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 Storage Engineer
Document your storage certifications before applying
PERM labor certification requires your employer to define minimum job requirements. If your credentials include NetApp, Pure Storage, or Ceph certifications, get official documentation now so they can be written into the job description without complications.
Target employers with active PERM filing history
Search OFLC disclosure data for companies that have filed PERM applications for Storage Engineer or similar infrastructure roles. Consistent filings signal that a company has an established green card sponsorship process, not just a one-time willingness.
Search green card jobs using Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate lets you filter Storage Engineer roles by employers with documented EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history, saving you from applying to companies that have never sponsored a green card for this occupation.
Clarify EB-2 versus EB-3 with your prospective employer
EB-2 requires the role to genuinely need an advanced degree; EB-3 covers bachelor's-level positions. Ask your hiring manager which category the job description supports before PERM is drafted, since reclassifying later restarts the process.
Verify the employer runs PERM recruitment correctly
DOL requires employers to complete specific recruitment steps, including print advertising and internal postings, before filing PERM. Ask your HR contact to confirm they've worked with an immigration attorney on this process for storage or infrastructure roles before.
Check your priority date against the Visa Bulletin early
For EB-3, your country of birth determines how long you'll wait after PERM approval before you can file for adjustment of status. USCIS publishes monthly Visa Bulletins; check where India, China, and Philippines backlogs currently sit before accepting a role with a long sponsorship timeline.
Green Card Storage Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Storage Engineer role typically qualify for EB-2 or EB-3 sponsorship?
Most Storage Engineer positions qualify for EB-3 because they require a bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, or a related field. EB-2 applies when the role genuinely requires a master's degree or equivalent advanced credentials. Your employer's attorney determines the category based on the actual job requirements, not your personal degree level.
How does green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for a Storage Engineer?
H-1B visa is a temporary status tied to annual lottery selection and three-year increments. PERM-based green card sponsorship is permanent and has no annual cap at the EB-3 category level for most countries. The process takes longer overall, typically two to four years from PERM filing to adjustment of status, but the outcome is lawful permanent residency rather than repeated renewals.
What does the PERM labor certification process look like for a Storage Engineer role?
Your employer files a PERM application with DOL after completing mandatory recruitment steps to verify no qualified U.S. worker is available for the position. The job requirements in the PERM application must match what the role genuinely needs. DOL then either certifies the application or issues an audit. Certified PERM allows your employer to file your I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS.
How can I find Storage Engineer jobs that include green card sponsorship?
Start your search on Migrate Mate, which filters roles by employers with active EB-2 and EB-3 sponsorship history for technology and infrastructure positions. You can also cross-reference OFLC disclosure data to confirm a company has filed PERM applications for storage or systems roles before, which is a reliable indicator they'll sponsor your green card.
Can my storage certifications strengthen a PERM application?
Certifications like those from NetApp, Dell EMC, or AWS can be listed as job requirements in the PERM application if the employer genuinely requires them for the role. However, DOL requires that stated requirements be standard for the position, not inflated to match a specific candidate. Work with your employer's immigration attorney to frame credentials accurately within OFLC prevailing wage guidelines.
