If you're ready to bring curiosity, creativity, and drive to every moment, NetApp is where your journey begins. The Mission: Power the Next Generation of AI We are standing at an inflection point. AI is transforming every industry, but beneath every breakthrough model lies a critical foundation that few see and even fewer master: the data infrastructure that makes intelligent systems possible. These positions require 3 days in office per week in one of the following offices: Boulder, CO or Pittsburgh, PA or Raleigh, NC or San Jose, CA. The Office of the Chief Platform and Technology Officer is assembling an elite team of AI Infrastructure Engineers to build the future of intelligent data systems. We don't just store data-we architect the substrate that powers AI factories, from GPU clusters running training workloads to real-time inference pipelines serving billions of requests. This is not a maintenance role. This is a creation role. You will design the systems that enable enterprises to deploy AI at an unprecedented scale, leveraging NetApp's new AI Data Engine (AIDE) and AFX disaggregated storage architecture. The Opportunity: Shape what comes next and oin us to solve challenges that exist at the absolute frontier of computer science. Build AI-Native Infrastructure Lead the architecture of next-generation storage systems optimized for AI workloads. Design high-performance data pipelines for massive-scale model training, implement intelligent caching for KV stores, and optimize data planes for GPU clusters. Your work will directly accelerate how quickly organizations can move from data to deployed intelligence. Pioneer Forward-Looking Research Work at the intersection of distributed systems, AI, and storage. Investigate novel approaches to scalable AI inferencing systems, semantic data discovery, and data curation systems. Turn proof-of-concepts into production systems that redefine industry standards. Amplify Your Impact with AI We don't just build AI-we use it. Leverage Cursor, Claude Code, and emerging AI development tools to accelerate your workflow, automate repetitive tasks, and focus on solving problems that matter. You'll operate at the cutting edge of "vibe coding" while maintaining the rigor of production-grade engineering.
