Sponsorship possible
One solid signal, not two — worth applying, and worth asking about sponsorship early.
- Employer is on a government sponsor recordThe US Department of Labor certified 2,374 H-1B/E-3 labor condition applications for this employer between Oct 2025 and Jun 2026 (latest Jun 2026) — the step every H-1B hire needs first. USCIS also records 394 H-1B approvals in FY2023. Source: LCA disclosure data (US Department of Labor (OFLC)).

US H-1B: cap-subject employers enter a lottery weighted by wage level — Level I gets 1 entry, Level IV gets 4 (DHS projected selection odds ≈15% at Level I to ≈61% at Level IV). Universities and non-profit research employers are cap-exempt. The $100,000 fee for new petitions from abroad is currently blocked by a court order (appeal pending).

About the role
NVIDIA DGXC Storage team handles some of the fastest training and inference tasks. Every GPU cycle depends on a storage platform built to keep tens of thousands of accelerators continuously busy. It maintains exabytes of data securely and powers the largest AI workloads worldwide across cloud, neocloud, and on-prem setups. With the growth of accelerated computing, storage is essential. It can make the difference between effective GPU use and wasted potential, and between launching a frontier model on time or missing the deadline by months. We’re looking for a hands-on Storage Software Engineer to join the storage team as an individual contributor and technical lead. You will contribute to open-source parallel and distributed file systems and keep our largest GPU clusters fast, reliable, and durable. You will stay deeply hands-on: writing and reviewing production code, chasing root causes in the field, and setting the configuration and tuning standards our GPU fleets run on. This is a chance to do foundational storage engineering for the AI era at the company that introduced accelerated computing. What you’ll be doing: • Contribute to open-source file systems. Contribute code to open-source parallel and distributed file systems, and distributed object storage. Upstream fixes and features, and engage directly with the upstream communities and maintainers. • Serve as a hands-on storage software lead. Write and review production code yourself, and read kernel, NFS, NVMe-oF, or SPDK source when a bug requires it. Make the final technical calls on storage deliveries against measurable targets. • Triage and troubleshoot at scale. Triage, troubleshoot, and root-cause large, complex storage issues across very large GPU clusters (tens of thousands of GPUs) — I/O and metadata performance, data corruption, and recovery. • Validate architecture and capabilities. Validate storage architecture, capabilities, performance, and durability. Run scale tests, benchmarks, and recovery drills, and qualify new builds against measurable performance and durability targets. • Recommend configuration, tuning, and guidelines. Define and recommend configuration, tuning, and operational best practices for high-performance file systems on GPU infrastructure, and help operators and internal customers apply them. • Partner broadly. Work with training, inference, and accelerated-computing teams, site-reliability and operations, networking, and security, and collaborate with cloud providers, neocloud operators, and storage vendors on a common architecture. • Work AI-first. Use modern AI coding and agentic tools day-to-day to accelerate building, debugging, validation, and operations. What we need to see: • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent experience. Over 12 years of direct experience in storage software engineering, including extensive involvement with a high-performance parallel or distributed file system handling multi-petabyte scale. • Contributions to open-source projects involving a distributed or parallel file system. You are fully engaged in engineering tasks. You write and review production code, examine file system, kernel, NVMe-oF, or SPDK source to identify bugs, and personally conduct scale tests or recovery drills instead of assigning them to others. • Experience diagnosing and resolving storage problems in extensive GPU or HPC clusters, including analysis of I/O and metadata performance. • Strong proficiency in at least one systems language (C, C++, Rust, or Go) and proficiency in Python; comfortable in the Linux kernel storage and networking stacks (block layer, RDMA / RoCE / InfiniBand, NVMe, page cache, VFS, multipath). • Solid understanding of object storage (S3 / Swift-cl
