About the role

Senior Storage Platform Engineer responsible for designing, deploying, and operating the storage platforms powering NVIDIA's engineering workloads at scale. Owns multi-vendor storage infrastructure, builds automation and integrations, and drives Infrastructure as Code adoption with tight integration to CMDB, observability, configuration management, and self-service tooling.

Responsibilities

  • 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.

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.
