Title:  Software Engineer

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 Hybrid Test and Dev Software Engineer, 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.

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!
