NetApp Sr. Software Engineer (ONTAP) in Morrisville, North Carolina

Job Summary

The office of the Chief Platform and Technology Officer (CPTO) is seeking the most highly skilled, experienced, creative, and productive Software Engineers with breadth and depth in both ONTAP and other storage systems.

This team will do forward-looking research and investigations, develop proofs-of-concept, and drive some projects to MVP, often in tight partnership with mainstream engineering teams.

Be bold in your ideas, grounded in your approach, make smart investments, knowing that some will fail-fast but others will drive the company forward.
