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 between NetApp and 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, ensuring ANF is positioned and built as a strategic data foundation for training, inference, RAG, analytics, simulation, and agentic workflows. Your mission is to enable these advanced capabilities without forcing customers to abandon enterprise file semantics, protection, or hybrid operating models.
In this role, you will define a multi-year AI vision for ANF, turning emerging patterns like LLMs, RAG, and agents into concrete product requirements. You will balance hyperscaler co-development constraints with NetApp differentiation, ensuring the platform meets the rigorous demands of regulated enterprise environments. You will lead cross-functional efforts to ship capabilities, engage strategic customers to validate value, and represent ANF as a credible technical executive in industry forums.
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. We are on a path to $10B, and we need passionate teams to tackle real-world challenges and see their 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.
