As a Sr. Technical Marketing Engineer (TME) at NetApp, you will own technical marketing end-to-end for one or more assigned technology areas within the NetApp portfolio. You will define the technical narrative, value proposition with accompanying claims, and competitive story for integrated solutions that solve customer challenges using one or more NetApp products and potentially partner products. You will do so working side-by-side with Product Marketers, Solution Marketers, and our Competitive Intelligence team as part of the Integrated Product & Platform Marketing (IPPM) team at NetApp, and in partnership with Product Managers and Engineers in one or more NetApp business units that also report to our Chief 
Product Officer.

While you won't be writing production code and you won't be in a support role, you will be expected to develop a deep hand-on understanding of your product by partnering from its inception by Product Management and development by Engineering all the way through to general availability, so that you can be the expert on its functionality for all outbound functions and demonstrate what the product can do at its best to the world at large.

As your work will expose you to our sales organization and customers you will help translate input from those audiences into insights to provide to Product Management.
