Job Summary

NetApp is pioneering the development of StorageGRID object storage - AWS cloud compatible software powering the exponential growth in AI data lakes. As a Software Developer Engineer in Test, this is your chance to work alongside a group of talented developers, impart your vision, and rapidly launch the latest cloud storage software. Your incredible testing and automation skills will create opportunities to contribute clean code. Naturally, you are as comfortable solving our customer's AI data lake challenges by writing new code as you are improving productivity by refactoring. You are opinionated while flexible and know when to adopt new technologies.

We are true believers of Agile development and have been on the journey for many years. Since you maintain supreme levels of communication with your peers, we won't inundate you with process and documentation as you work in our flexible hybrid work-from-home/office model.

At NetApp Vancouver we believe work should be balanced with connection, wellness, and a little fun. You'll find us gathering for biweekly donut and bagel mornings and celebrating a wide range of holidays from Diwali and Lunar New Year to Pie Day and National Refreshment Day. We take every opportunity to enjoy each other's company at monthly Happy Hours with plenty of food and drinks including kombucha on tap from our in-house keg! In the summer months, we host frequent 5k runs and in the cooler weather we let our creativity spark with engaging indoor activities. Become a coffee aficionado in our espresso-fueled coffee club and give back with 40 hours of company paid volunteering!

Throughout the world, leading organizations count on NetApp to manage and store their data. From the edge of human endurance in Formula One auto racing to the edge of the universe with CERN's Large Hadron Collider, we help our customers do things they couldn't before—at speeds you never thought possible.
