About the Role

We are seeking a highly experienced Sr. Lustre Technical Staff member to join our new internal Lustre team. This role is responsible for delivering an enterprise-class NetApp software product. You will thrive as part of a high-performance team tasked with finding creative solutions to the most profound data challenges customers face.

This position is distinct from a research role; it focuses on the commercialization of file products from inception to completion. You will collaborate with our Product Marketing team to define and prioritize feature and solution requirements, and you will be expected to present technical concepts and industry updates to senior leadership. Additionally, you will write concise technical papers on topics such as feature value definition or competitive analysis.

Our Culture

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. We provide flexibility so you can balance professional ambition with your personal life. Here, differences are not just welcomed—they drive everything we do.

Hiring Process & Application

Preferred locations include San Jose, Research Triangle Park (RTP), Wichita, and Boulder. However, it is likely this position will need to be hired as remote to attract the ideal candidate. If you are ready to innovate, rise to the challenge, and own every moment, make your next move your best one by applying now.
