Senior Storage Platform Engineer

Details

NVIDIA is leading developments in artificial intelligence, high-performance computing, and visualization. The company is seeking a Senior Storage Platform Engineer to design, deploy, and operate the storage platforms powering its EDA FARM, software engineering, AI/ML teams, and engineering workflows at scale.

The role owns the full lifecycle of NVIDIA's multi-vendor storage infrastructure while building the automation, pipelines, and integrations needed to provide a scalable, self-service platform. The engineer will drive Infrastructure as Code adoption across storage platforms and integrate the storage estate with CMDB, observability, configuration management, and self-service tooling.

Responsibilities

• Lead the 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.
• Design and implement Infrastructure as Code frameworks using Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent tools for provisioning, configuration management, and lifecycle operations.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for storage configuration deployments so that every change is reviewed, tested, and deployed in a repeatable and validated manner.
• Integrate storage platforms with the broader infrastructure ecosystem, including CMDB platforms for asset discovery and inventory synchronization, observability stacks for metrics and alerting, configuration management tools for drift detection, and self-service portals for on-demand storage provisioning.
• Manage day-two operations, including capacity planning, firmware and software lifecycle management, performance tuning, and root cause analysis.
• Partner with chip design, software engineering, research, and application teams to deliver integrated storage solutions for engineering workloads.
• Champion GitOps practices for storage, ensuring configurations are tracked and changes are reviewed.

Requirements

• 8 or more years of hands-on experience with enterprise storage systems in large-scale production environments.
• Deep working knowledge of at least three of the following platforms: NetApp ONTAP (NFS/NAS), Pure Storage FlashArray or FlashBlade, Cloudian HyperStore (S3 object), and DDN (Lustre/EXAScaler or high-performance NAS).
• Strong command of NFS, SMB, iSCSI, NVMe-oF, S3, and Lustre storage protocols.
• Proven experience building infrastructure automation with Ansible, Terraform, or equivalent Infrastructure as Code tools.
• Proficiency in Python, Go, or a similar language, with experience building reusable tooling rather than one-off scripts.
• Experience integrating storage systems with CMDB platforms such as ServiceNow, Nautobot, or Cerebro, or equivalent tools.
• Experience with observability stacks such as Prometheus/Grafana, Splunk, or Datadog, or equivalent tools.
• Experience with CI/CD platforms such as GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab CI, 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

• Experience working in HPC, AI/ML, or large-scale research computing environments where storage is mission-critical and throughput is important.
• Experience building self-service storage provisioning workflows.
• Experience with containerization technologies such as Docker, Mesosphere DCOS, or Kubernetes.
• Experience contributing to or maintaining internal developer tools or platform APIs.

Benefits

• Eligibility for equity and benefits.
• NVIDIA is an equal opportunity employer committed to an inclusive work environment.

Applications will be accepted at least until September 14, 2026. This posting is for an existing vacancy.
