Engineering Intern

Job Summary

This internship is for an OS Development Intern to contribute to the enhancement of NetApp’s proprietary operating system, ONTAP, based on FreeBSD. The intern will work closely with the development team, understanding the existing ONTAP architecture and exploring the kernel networking stack. The primary responsibilities include designing and implementing features to improve simplicity and quality of the networking stack. Proficiency in C, C++, and Python is a must, along with a basic understanding of operating system kernel architecture and networking protocols.

Technical Scope: As an intern, you will work in one or more of the following areas:

• C, C++, and Python Development: Proficiency in these programming languages is essential. You will be involved in developing and optimizing system-level code.
• Linux/Unix Systems: Familiarity with Linux or Unix-like operating systems is essential. Experience with FreeBSD is ideal, but knowledge of other Unix-based systems is also valuable.
• REST APIs: You will design and implement RESTful APIs to allow customers to configure and manage networking parameters. Understanding REST API principles and best practices is crucial.
• AI for Data Management: You will explore and integrate AI-based techniques to enhance data management processes. This includes using machine learning algorithms to analyze and predict system performance, optimize data storage, and improve overall system efficiency.

The role also involves documentation of design, implementation, and testing processes. As part of the internship, candidates can expect mentorship, exposure to and work on NetApp data management technologies.
