About Us

Join our innovative and dynamic Cloud Engineering team at NetApp, where we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of cloud technology. We are looking for a passionate and experienced Software Development Engineer to join us in developing industry leading data management solutions for NetApp’s customers in all major Clouds. If you have hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, Azure, or OCI, we want to hear from you!

Job Summary

As a Software Development Engineer in NetApp’s Cloud Platforms organization, you will play a critical role in the team responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining scalable, secure and robust operating systems and capabilities that run NetApp data management applications in the Cloud.

As part of the Research and Development function, the overall focus of the group is on competitive market and customer requirements, technology advances and innovation, product quality, product cost and time-to-market. To achieve these goals, software engineers in this organization leverage their technical strengths and teamwork skills via collaboration with Cloud partners and internal Engineering partners.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features.
  • Handle unstructured tasks and conducting research to convert vague/undefined requirements into clearly articulated ones.
  • Operate under limited supervision and direction, as this individual can operate, drive results and set priorities independently.
  • Engage in a peer-to-peer collaboration and learning model, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in software development, with OS or kernel level development experience.
  • Knowledge: Strong understanding of computer architecture, data structures, and programming practices.
  • Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as C/C++ and Python.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and DevOps practices.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, and collaboration skills are a must.
  • Ability to work with limited supervision and operate and drive results independently.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Technical Expertise: Deep understanding of cloud technologies and orchestration frameworks with hands-on experience in AWS, Azure, Oracle or GCP.
  • Strong knowledge of cloud architecture, services, and best practices.
  • Experience in software development of distributed data management systems (E.g.: NetApp ONTAP or similar systems).
  • Advanced certifications in AWS, GCP, or OCI.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation.
  • Experience with Cloud monitoring and logging tools.

Education

Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

Compensation:

The target salary range for this position is 130,900 - 194,700 USD. The salary offered will be determined by the candidate's location, qualifications, experience, and education and may be outside of this range. Final compensation packages are competitive and in line with industry standards, reflecting a variety of factors, and include a comprehensive benefits package. This may cover Health Insurance, Life Insurance, Retirement or Pension Plans, Paid Time Off (PTO), various Leave options, Performance-Based Incentives, employee stock purchase plan, and/or restricted stocks (RSU’s), with all offerings subject to regional variations and governed by local laws, regulations, and company policies. Benefits may vary by country and region, and further details will be provided as part of the recruitment process.

At NetApp, we embrace a hybrid working environment designed to strengthen connection, collaboration, and culture for all employees. This means that most roles will have some level of in-office and/or in-person expectations, which will be shared during the recruitment process.
