At NetApp, your ideas power innovation. We lead in intelligent data infrastructure, delivering unified storage, integrated data services, and solutions that help organizations unlock the full potential of their data, from AI to multicloud. As the only enterprise-grade storage service natively embedded in Google Cloud, AWS, and Microsoft Azure, we empower customers to run everything from traditional workloads to enterprise AI with unmatched performance, resilience, and security.
Our culture celebrates mold breakers, bold thinkers, and problem solvers. We reward initiative, impact, and ownership, providing the flexibility to balance professional ambition with personal life. Here, differences are not just welcomed—they drive everything we do. We embrace a hybrid working environment designed to strengthen connection, collaboration, and culture for all employees.
NetApp is hiring a Principal Product Leader to own the AI product strategy for Azure NetApp Files (ANF)—a first-party, fully managed enterprise file service on Microsoft Azure delivered in deep partnership with Microsoft. In the spirit of NetApp's "business builder" cloud roles, you will translate a fast-moving AI landscape into differentiated platform capabilities, joint roadmap bets with Microsoft, and enterprise outcomes.
You will sit at the intersection of enterprise storage, Azure AI infrastructure, and industry AI workloads. Your mission is to ensure ANF is positioned and built as a strategic data foundation for training, inference, RAG, analytics, simulation, and agentic workflows. Crucially, you will achieve this without forcing customers to abandon enterprise file semantics, protection, or hybrid operating models. You will define the multi-year AI vision, turning emerging patterns like LLMs, RAG, and agents into concrete product requirements and joint go-to-market narratives.
At NetApp, you won't wait for the perfect moment—you'll make it. The early planning, the extra thought, and the bold ideas that turn good into great are how our people operate. You will collaborate with passionate teams to tackle real-world challenges and see your impact in how customers transform and grow. If you are ready to bring curiosity, creativity, and drive to every moment, NetApp is where your journey begins.
