Title:  Product Manager Intern

Job Summary

NetApp is seeking a curious, self-driven Product Manager Intern to support the Multi-Cloud Storage Developer Experience team, with a focus on Product-Led Growth (PLG) strategy and developer tooling. This internship offers hands-on experience working on products that help developers discover, adopt, and integrate NetApp's cloud storage services — Azure NetApp Files (ANF), Google Cloud NetApp Volumes (GCNV), and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP (FSxN) — directly from the tools they already use.

You'll work alongside experienced Product Managers, engineers, and hyperscaler partners to accelerate developer onboarding, improve self-serve adoption, and shape the future of cloud storage developer experience. If you're excited about AI-powered tooling and the intersection of infrastructure and developer platforms, this is the internship for you.

Job Responsibilities

• PLG Strategy & Execution: Assist the PM team in executing go-to-market motions for developer-led adoption of cloud storage services, including tracking activation funnels, time-to-value metrics, and self-serve onboarding completion rates across ANF, GCNV, and FSxN.
• Developer Tooling Support: Help evolve the ANF VS Code Extension and related developer tools — including natural language command interfaces, K8s integration templates, and agentic storage workflows — by gathering developer feedback, documenting feature gaps, and coordinating with engineering on backlog items.
• MCP & Agentic AI Research: Support the team's MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration work by researching agentic AI frameworks, cataloging use cases, and helping in research.
• Onboarding Experience Analysis: Identify friction points in the developer onboarding journey for multi-cloud storage provisioning, and propose simplification or automation opportunities that reduce time-to-first-volume.
• Customer & Community Insights: Monitor developer community signals (GitHub issues, VS Code Marketplace reviews, Stack Overflow threads, hyperscaler forums) and synthesize insights to inform product priorities.
• Market & Competitive Research: Research how competing cloud storage providers (AWS EFS, Azure Blob, Google Filestore) approach developer experience, PLG, and IDE integrations, and summarize findings into actionable competitive briefs.
• Metrics & Reporting: Help track PLG KPIs — extension installs, active users, onboarding completion, API adoption — and prepare dashboards or decks that communicate progress to leadership.

What You'll Gain

• Real-world PLG and developer experience PM work on production-scale cloud storage products.
• Exposure to hyperscaler partnership dynamics (Microsoft, Google, AWS) and how enterprise storage products reach developers.
• Hands-on familiarity with agentic AI frameworks, MCP integrations, and extension ecosystems.
• Mentorship from experienced Product Managers driving one of NetApp's key strategic growth bets.
• A collaborative team that ships fast, values intellectual curiosity, and learns loudly.

Job Requirements

• Strong interest in product management, developer experience, PLG, or cloud infrastructure platforms.
• Curiosity about AI-powered tooling, IDE extensions, or agentic workflows — hands-on experience is a strong plus.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to connect developer behavior signals to product decisions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable writing PRDs, one-pagers, or competitive briefs.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure, GCP, AWS) or storage concepts is a plus, not a requirement.
• Scrappy, resourceful, and comfortable operating with ambiguity in a fast-moving environment.

Education

• Must be enrolled in an educational or professional program through Summer 2026 or later, preferably pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related technical field.
