# VP of Engineering, Reliability & Quality

Job Summary VP of Engineering, Reliability & Quality The Opportunity Quality and speed are colliding - NetApp ships across ONTAP and adjacent products at a pace where quality-as-a-downstream-checkpoint no longer holds, and customers increasingly hold us to the same reliability bar as hyperscalers. As VP of Engineering for Reliability & Quality, you’ll own Escalations, Release Engineering, and System Test, with a mandate that reaches further: defining and driving the quality motion - the standards, gates, and metrics - that shape how every engineering team, not just yours, builds and ships. This is a build-and-lead role for someone who wants to own outcomes they don’t fully control: direct authority over release gates and escalation resolution, paired with the credibility and influence to raise the quality bar across teams that report elsewhere. Job Requirements Role: Reports to: SVP of Platform Engineering Location: This role will be based in San Jose, CA. While San Jose is strongly preferred, we are open to considering remote candidates for the right individual. Given that our senior leadership team is based in San Jose, we expect this leader to spend meaningful time there. Scope:
