NetApp's Cloud AI team is building an enterprise AI agent platform that helps Fortune 500 companies automate complex workflows on their own data, across on-premises and multi-cloud environments. It brings together large language models, agentic frameworks, and production cloud engineering.
We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to design systems, write production code, and make the foundational technical decisions that shape how the product works. You will work with engineers and product managers on a team where everyone builds and everyone ships, and you will own what you deliver from design into customers' hands.
-
Design and build AI agent systems that reason about complex enterprise environments, integrate with external tools and data sources, and take reliable action on behalf of users.
-
Develop the backend services, APIs, and orchestration layers behind agent execution, knowledge bases and retrieval, tool integration, and multi-cloud operations.
-
Build the developer-facing surfaces (APIs, SDKs, and tooling) that make the product usable and reliable for internal and external developers.
-
Own features end to end: architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and operational support in production.
-
Make foundational design decisions for a new product: data models, API contracts, service boundaries, and the infrastructure patterns that decide how it scales.
-
Work across the stack on a high-ownership team where everyone builds and everyone ships.
-
8+ years in software development.
-
3+ years building and operating cloud-native, fault-tolerant, highly scalable architectures, including service-oriented and cloud-native services (FaaS, PaaS)
-
Designed and delivered cloud-native applications that meet real performance, scale, and reliability requirements.
-
Strong server-side engineering in one or more of Node.js, Python, Java, Go, or Rust. Front-end experience (TypeScript, React or Angular) is a plus.
-
Built RESTful APIs and microservices in production, backed by SQL and/or NoSQL data stores.
-
Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure with tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps.
-
Applied security fundamentals: authentication and authorization (OAuth, SSO), encryption, and compliance.
-
Made sound design decisions: you can weigh trade-offs, define system boundaries, and own the architecture of the components you build.
-
Collaborate closely with teammates to integrate systems and ship high-quality work.
-
Mentor less-experienced engineers as the team grows.
-
LLM integration or AI agent frameworks: building systems that run model inference in production (tool calling, RAG, prompt engineering).
-
Familiarity with agentic design patterns: tool-use protocols, context management, multi-step reasoning, and grounding models in real-time data.
-
Built developer tools, extensions, or CLI tooling used by external developers.
-
Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation).
-
Enterprise cloud infrastructure, data management, or storage systems.
-
Built new systems end to end in a fast-paced environment, not just extended existing ones.
-
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field; or equivalent practical experience.
