Job Summary

NetApp's Marketplace Core team is building the next generation of marketplace infrastructure that enables customers to discover, purchase, provision, and manage NetApp products across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and future marketplace ecosystems.
At the center of this effort is the Marketplace Control Tower (MCT), NetApp's centralized control plane for marketplace operations.

Design and implement APIs, SDKs, and platform capabilities that enable internal engineering teams to integrate with marketplace functionality.
Build workflow-driven solutions for private offer creation, approvals, provisioning, entitlements, metering, billing, and operational governance.
Contribute to marketplace telemetry, analytics, monitoring, and operational dashboards that improve visibility into platform health and customer outcomes.
Design data models, service boundaries, event-driven architectures, and integration patterns that can scale across multiple cloud providers.
Improve platform reliability, observability, operational excellence, and security.
Own features end-to-end, including requirements, architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and production support.
Mentor engineers and contribute to engineering best practices across the organization.

Data privacy

We care about your privacy and, therefore, ask that you read our Candidate Privacy Notice before you submit any personal information to us.

NetApp does not carry out any solely automated decision making (i.e. the process of making a decision by automated means without any human involvement) in determining your suitability or eligibility for specific roles.

However, the processing of your personal information is carried out with the aid of manual and automated tools. In particular, NetApp may use an automated employment evaluation tool or similar tool as one of several tools, actions, and/or steps to assist with NetApp’s review of candidate applications for various hiring needs. Currently, when addressing certain hiring needs, NetApp uses the Eightfold tool which can provide an initial ranking of a candidate’s skills and experience, based on information provided by the applicant in the application and/or supporting documentation, in comparison to the NetApp designated key requirements of a specific role. Additionally, the tool may be used to help review and/or rank internal employees seeking promotion or other internal mobility. However, our talent acquisition team or our recruiters will ultimately select the candidates for further consideration, following human review of any automated evaluation results and associated underlying documentation (or lack thereof) submitted with the candidates’ application.

An independent audit of the Eightfold Matching Model tool can be found at https://eightfold.ai/nyc-eightfoldmatching-model.

Candidates may request an alternative selection process which will not be subject to the Eightfold matching tool or to any electronic automated employment evaluation by contacting NetApp at careers@netapp.com. To bypass the Eightfold matching tool or any electronic automated employment evaluation, you must include a resume and job ID with your email to careers@netapp.com and you must include in the subject line of your email: Data Privacy Request. Candidates who have questions or want to request additional information on the source of data, type of data, and/or collection of data related to the candidate review process should contact NetApp at careers@netapp.com

Note: Eightfold is not applicable to temporary hiring opportunities. If you are interested in temporary roles, you can apply via a third-party site managed by our preferred supplier, Magnit Global. Magnit Global will provide its own privacy disclosures for your review as part of the application process.
