NetApp software engineer hiring 2026 for B.E. grads, Bangalore

NetApp is hiring a Software Engineer for its Azure NetApp Files team in Bangalore. Azure NetApp Files, or ANF, is NetApp's cloud storage service that runs inside Microsoft Azure. This NetApp software engineer job asks for 1 to 2 years of relevant experience and a B.E. background. It is not a fresher opening. It is meant for engineers who already have at least a year of relevant work.

The listing went up on 9 October 2026. Here is what the team builds, what NetApp expects you to know, and what the page does not say.

What the Azure NetApp Files team builds

The ANF team builds cloud storage services for enterprise workloads in Azure. NetApp calls the job a unified engineering role. You would not sit only in development or only in testing. The work spans building features, automated testing, performance, operational readiness and keeping the service reliable.

The systems cover storage, networking, cloud infrastructure and user experience. NetApp also says it expects engineers to use AI-native engineering practices in their work.

Daily work for a NetApp software engineer

The listing has ten duties. Put simply, the job covers these areas:

• Owning how the data plane works, performs and scales.
• Taking a feature from design to code, tests, release, monitoring and production support.
• Building cloud-native services with containers, microservices and CI/CD.
• Raising quality through automated tests, code reviews and readiness checks.
• Fixing hard production issues, finding the root cause and making lasting fixes.
• Working with product managers, architects and partner teams on what customers need.
• Explaining design choices and project status to people across the company.
• Sharing knowledge through reviews, design talks and mentoring.

Production support is part of the job. If you prefer pure feature work, note that line.

Experience and degree for the NetApp software engineer role

The education line is short. It asks for 1 to 2 years of relevant experience with a B.E. background. NetApp does not name a branch, a batch year or a marks rule. It does not mention B.Tech, BCA, MCA or M.Tech by name either.

A final-year student or a 2026 graduate with no work history does not meet the 1 year floor. A B.E. graduate with one to two years of relevant work is the profile the page describes. If you are still a fresher, our engineering job listings carry many roles that ask for no experience.

Skills the NetApp software engineer listing asks for

NetApp's requirements are long. They fall into three groups.

Coding and tools:

• Python for test automation, test frameworks, tooling, CI/CD or ops automation.
• C or C++, React, TypeScript or C#. These are desirable, not required. They help you work across existing parts of the service.
• Building REST APIs or links between services.

Cloud and systems:

• Designing, deploying and running microservices with Kubernetes, containers and CI/CD.
• Knowledge of building and running cloud-native distributed systems on Azure, AWS or GCP.
• Observability, monitoring and telemetry.
• Software quality: automated testing, performance tuning and security practice.

Personal skills:

• A strong ability to learn new tools.
• Clear written and spoken communication.
• A creative, analytical way of solving problems.

Note that any one of Azure, AWS or GCP fits the cloud line. The team works on Azure, but the listing does not ask for Azure alone.

Getting ready for the NetApp software engineer interview

NetApp has not shared its rounds for this job. These steps follow from what the listing asks for.

• Be ready to walk through one service you built or ran at work. Cover the API, the tests, the deploy and how you watched it in production.
• Revise Kubernetes basics: pods, deployments, services and how a rolling update works.
• Write a small Python test suite with pytest and run it in a CI pipeline.
• Learn how storage works in the cloud. Know the difference between file, block and object storage.
• Prepare one story about a production bug: what broke, how you found the cause and what you changed after.

Hybrid work, pay and the hiring process

NetApp says it runs a hybrid setup. Most roles have some office or in-person days, and the details are shared during hiring. The page does not say how many days that means for this job.

Some facts are not on the page:

• Salary: not disclosed by the company.
• Last date: none is shown.
• Number of openings: not stated.
• Employment type: the listing does not state it.

NetApp adds two notes of its own. It reviews only applications sent through its company website. Emailing its staff, recruiters or HR will not help your application. It also says some stages of hiring for some roles may use AI tools to help assess candidates, with people still making the decisions.
