Job Summary
About the Role
NetApps Cloud AI team is building an enterprise AI agent platform that helps Fortune 500 companies automate complex workflows on their own data across on-premises and multi-cloud environments. It brings together large language models agentic frameworks and production cloud engineering.
We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer to design systems write production code and make the foundational technical decisions that shape how the product works. You will work with engineers and product managers on a team where everyone builds and everyone ships and you will own what you deliver from design into customers hands.
What you will build
- Design and build AI agent systems that reason about complex enterprise environments integrate with external tools and data sources and take reliable action on behalf of users.
- Develop the backend services APIs and orchestration layers behind agent execution knowledge bases and retrieval tool integration and multi-cloud operations.
- Build the developer-facing surfaces (APIs SDKs and tooling) that make the product usable and reliable for internal and external developers.
- Own features end to end: architecture implementation testing deployment and operational support in production.
- Make foundational design decisions for a new product: data models API contracts service boundaries and the infrastructure patterns that decide how it scales.
- Work across the stack on a high-ownership team where everyone builds and everyone ships.
Experience Requirements
- 8 years in software development.
- 3 years building and operating cloud-native fault-tolerant highly scalable architectures including service-oriented and cloud-native services (FaaS PaaS)
Required Qualifications
- Designed and delivered cloud-native applications that meet real performance scale and reliability requirements.
- Strong server-side engineering in one or more of Python Java Go or Rust. Front-end experience (TypeScript React or Angular) is a plus.
- Built RESTful APIs and microservices in production backed by SQL and/or NoSQL data stores.
- Built and maintained CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure with tools such as Jenkins GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
- Applied security fundamentals: authentication and authorization (OAuth SSO) encryption and compliance.
- Made sound design decisions: you can weigh trade-offs define system boundaries and own the architecture of the components you build.
- Collaborate closely with teammates to integrate systems and ship high-quality work.
- Mentor less-experienced engineers as the team grows.
Preferred Qualifications
- LLM integration or AI agent frameworks: building systems that run model inference in production (tool calling RAG prompt engineering).
- Familiarity with agentic design patterns: tool-use protocols context management multi-step reasoning and grounding models in real-time data.
- Built developer tools extensions or CLI tooling used by external developers.
- Cloud platforms (AWS Azure GCP) containerization (Docker Kubernetes) and infrastructure as code (Terraform CloudFormation).
- Enterprise cloud infrastructure data management or storage systems.
- Built new systems end to end in a fast-paced environment not just extended existing ones.
Education
- Bachelors degree in Computer Science Engineering or related field; or equivalent practical experience.
