Job SummaryThis role engineers and ships production AI agents into the way a function already works. You embed inside functions across Net App’s product organization, working inside their environment, systems, and tools. You determine what to build and how, the technical approach and the architecture, by working the problem alongside them rather than from a written specification. You build and ship the system end to end and own that it works and holds up in production - reliable and safe on the function’s real workflows - before rotating to the next function.
The role sits within the Agentic Product Management team under the VP, Analytics Growth and AI Native Engineering.
The role combines three skillsets that usually live in three different people: the engineer who architects, writes, and ships the production system; the product-minded builder who can scope the right solution inside an unfamiliar function; and the consultant who can deliver inside a team that is not their own. The engineer is the spine - the person who writes the production code also embeds and scopes inside a function they have never worked in.
Building AI agents is the baseline; what you deliver is a working system the host function runs and trusts in production.
A few principles shape how the team approaches its work:
- We start from outcomes, not from tasks. The first question on any engagement is what the process is for and what good looks like, not how to automate the current steps.
- We deliver working solutions, not recommendations. Every engagement ends with a prototype that real users can run.
- We design with audit trails. Every workflow is inspectable: which agent did what, against what input, with what reasoning.
- We expand trust deliberately. Agents start with bounded authority, and authority grows as evidence accumulates.
- Embed inside a host function. Drop into a Product Group function such as product operations, program management, UX design, or product management - one that is not your own - for the duration of the engagement, and build the relationship with its leader and the operators who do the work today.
- Scope the technical solution. Working from the problem the host team surfaces, decide what to build and how - the approach, the architecture, where an agent removes real toil, and where human judgment, relationships, or accountability must stay in the loop.
- Build and ship the agent end to end. Put a working system into the host team’s live workflow using their real systems and data - prompts, tools, retrieval, sub-agents, and the integration code the deployment requires. The deliverable is production code running in the host team’s live workflow.
- Make quality measurable. Build for non-deterministic systems: evaluations, golden sets, and regression checks that make the agent’s…
