About the Role

This is a technical leadership opportunity to build and scale architecture and experience across multiple cloud environments. As a Distinguished Engineer, you will be a hands-on practitioner, not a consultant. You will collaborate with other technical leaders and software engineers to drive innovation, engineering excellence, and the design of scalable architectures.

Your day will involve solving the most complex engineering challenges in service fundamentals—availability, reliability, performance, and scalability—while improving developer velocity through modern CI/CD practices. You will design fault-tolerant, highly available, and low-latency control plane architectures for cloud-native services. To earn the respect of the engineering community and keep your skills sharp, you are expected to devote at least 40% of your time to producing tangible artifacts, including vision statements, design documents, and source code.

Working Environment

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

Equal Opportunity

NetApp is firmly committed to Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and to compliance with all federal, state, and local laws that prohibit employment discrimination based on age, race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, disability, genetic information, pregnancy, protected veteran status, and any other protected classification.
