Title:  Software Development Engineer in Test Co-op

Job Summary

From the edge of the universe with CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, to the edge of human endurance in Formula One auto racing, we help our customers do things they couldn’t before—at speeds you never thought possible. Picture yourself working with the world’s best employees. Join the StorageGRID team at NetApp!

Our co-op program has three key goals: understand the NetApp business, experience enterprise software engineering, and engage and socialize with the community of co-ops and employees at various social events.

NetApp's Vancouver Technology Center is pioneering the development of AWS and cloud compatible object storage software to handle the exponential growth in big data. You will be integrated into our core StorageGRID engineering teams to work alongside engineers with years of experience. Here you will learn about the industry-leading data storage technologies, employ the latest tools, and apply engineering best practices. Agile Scrum, continuous integration, automated testing, OO development, and mission-critical software development are just a few of the things you will be exposed to as you work on solving the world’s need for data.

Outside of building software, NetApp strives to keep employees healthy and engaged. NetApp has adopted a flexible hybrid work model that puts you in control! All positions in Vancouver permit combining in-office and work from home as you prefer. NetApp’s wellness programs have a renewed focus on employees working remotely. Rest assured, your code reviews from fellow developers will not be any less of a learning experience even though you are at home. We trust everyone to use their best judgement to put their health first and maintaining the highest levels of productivity. Open communications and fostering an environment for learning and career growth remain key values for the team and the company even during a pandemic.

NetApp VTC offers 2 co-op roles: Software Developer and Software Development Engineer in Test. Both roles will exercise and hone your software development skills. Successful co-ops in either role will ship a customer-facing feature they helped develop or test within the StorageGRID product.

About this position: The Software Development Engineer in Test Co-op role focuses on automated testing of features and the overall product. If the idea of “I wonder what happens if I do this…” appeals to you, we want you on our team! In this position you are the proxy for customers including Fortune 100 companies who expect perfection. Your efforts will ensure the product works, not only as intended, but also consistently satisfy user expectations.
