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 Software Developer Engineer in Test, 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.  

Throughout the world, leading organizations count on NetApp to manage and store their data. From the edge of human endurance in Formula One auto racing to the edge of the universe with CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, we help our customers do things they couldn’t before—at speeds you never thought possible.

Role Overview

As a Software Engineer in Test, you will work as part of the Product Engineering team responsible for delivering an enterprise-class NetApp software product. You will leverage your development skills to contribute to both the creation and testing of software, ensuring high-quality, reliable, and innovative storage and data management products. Your role will include working closely with development to verify product functionality through automated and manual tests.

Essential Functions

  • Develop, implement, and execute automated software tests.
  • Verify systems/subsystems by understanding test requirements and formulating test cases.
  • Support inter-dependent development and testing activities.
  • Analyze and document test standards, procedures and results.
  • Work closely with development engineers and drive resolution of problems.
  • Contribute to test automation infrastructure, labs and testbeds.
  • Create and develop test automation strategies.

Job Requirements

  • Proficiency in Ruby or equivalent scripting language.
  • Experience with REST API development and testing.
  • Familiarity with networking concepts, HTTP, and AWS APIs.
  • Knowledge of Cassandra or similar NoSQL databases.
  • Understanding of distributed systems.
  • Experience working in a Linux environment with containers.
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies, Test-Driven Development (TDD), and continuous integration.

Education & Experience

  • A Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, or a related technical discipline with 10 years of experience in Software Engineering Testing and Automation; a Master’s degree; or equivalent experience is required.

All internal movements within the Product Group via requisition will be lateral, offering valuable growth opportunities to extend your skills in a new area. Opportunities for a promotion will be reviewed in the normal course of business, aligned with our promotion process.
