Software Engineer

Round 1: Online coding assessment (Python/DSA) → Round 2: Technical interview (system design, cloud concepts, coding) → Round 3: HR interview (fit, motivations, compensation)

NetApp promotes a collaborative, inclusive culture where engineers are encouraged to experiment and own their projects. The company offers clear growth paths, regular learning sessions, and a healthy work‑life balance with flexible hours and remote‑work options when needed.

NetApp’s interview process typically starts with a timed online coding test focusing on Python and data‑structure problems. Successful candidates move to technical rounds that assess system design, cloud fundamentals, and practical coding on a whiteboard or shared editor. The final HR round evaluates cultural fit, communication skills, and career aspirations. Overall difficulty is moderate to high, and thorough preparation on automation, APIs, and Kubernetes greatly helps.

Degree: B.E. (any engineering branch, preferably Computer Science, Information Technology, or Electronics). Minimum aggregate: 60% (or equivalent CGPA). Batch: 2025‑2026 graduates. No active backlogs at the time of joining. Must have 1‑2 years of relevant industry experience with hands‑on Python automation, REST API development, and exposure to containers/Kubernetes.

The Azure NetApp Files (ANF) team, based in Bengaluru, is responsible for building and operating a high‑performance, cloud‑native storage service on Microsoft Azure. As a Software Engineer on this team, you will work on the data‑plane services that power enterprise workloads, ensuring they are reliable, scalable, and secure. The role blends development, automation, performance tuning, and production support, giving you end‑to‑end ownership of features from design through deployment and operational monitoring. Key responsibilities include: 1. Design, develop, and maintain cloud‑native microservices using Python and supporting languages. 2. Build automated validation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines to accelerate release cycles. 3. Implement and consume RESTful APIs for service‑to‑service communication. 4. Containerize applications and manage deployments on Kubernetes clusters. 5. Conduct performance profiling, capacity planning, and reliability engineering activities. 6. Write unit, integration, and end‑to‑end tests to uphold software quality standards. 7. Participate in incident response, root‑cause analysis, and post‑mortem reviews. 8. Collaborate with cross‑functional teams—storage, networking, security, and product management—to deliver end‑user value. 9. Contribute to architecture discussions, code reviews, and technical documentation. 10. Mentor junior engineers and share best practices across the team. The tech stack revolves around Python for automation, C/C++ for performance‑critical components, and modern DevOps tools such as Docker, Kubernetes, Helm, and GitLab CI. Familiarity with Azure services, observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger), and security best practices is highly valued. NetApp encourages continuous learning; engineers can explore AI‑assisted development tools, attend internal tech talks, and obtain certifications. Career growth at NetApp is well‑structured. Early‑career engineers can progress to Senior Engineer, Lead Engineer, and eventually to Principal Engineer or Engineering Manager roles, with opportunities to move across product lines or geographies. The company’s performance‑driven culture rewards innovation, collaboration, and impact. Why join NetApp? You will be part of a forward‑thinking organization that invests heavily in employee development, offers competitive compensation, and provides a supportive environment where work‑life balance is respected.
