At NetApp, your ideas power innovation. We lead in intelligent data infrastructure—delivering unified storage, integrated data services, and solutions that help organizations unlock the full potential of their data, from AI to multicloud.
Ready to innovate and contribute to our path to $10B? Here, you'll collaborate with passionate teams, tackle real-world challenges, and see your impact in how customers transform and grow. If you're ready to bring curiosity, creativity, and drive to every moment, NetApp is where your journey begins.
Job Summary
NetApp is seeking a curious, self-driven Product Manager Intern to support the Multi-Cloud Storage Developer Experience team, with a focus on Product-Led Growth (PLG) strategy and developer tooling. This internship offers hands-on experience working on products that help developers discover, adopt, and integrate NetApp's cloud storage services — Azure NetApp Files (ANF), Google Cloud NetApp Volumes (GCNV), and Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP (FSxN) — directly from the tools they already use.
You'll work alongside experienced Product Managers, engineers, and hyperscaler partners to accelerate developer onboarding, improve self-serve adoption, and shape the future of cloud storage developer experience. If you're excited about AI-powered tooling and the intersection of infrastructure and developer platforms, this is the internship for you.
Job Responsibilities
- PLG Strategy & Execution: Assist the PM team in executing go-to-market motions for developer-led adoption of cloud storage services, including tracking activation funnels, time-to-value metrics, and self-serve onboarding completion rates across ANF, GCNV, and FSxN.
- Developer Tooling Support: Help evolve the ANF VS Code Extension and related developer tools — including natural language command interfaces, K8s integration templates, and agentic storage workflows — by gathering developer feedback, documenting feature gaps, and coordinating with engineering on backlog items.
- MCP & Agentic AI Research: Support the team's MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration work by researching agentic AI frameworks, cataloging use cases, and helping in research.
- Onboarding Experience Analysis: Identify friction points in the developer onboarding journey for multi-cloud storage provisioning, and propose simplification or automation opportunities that reduce time-to-first-volume.
- Customer & Community Insights: Monitor developer community signals (GitHub issues, VS Code Marketplace reviews, Stack Overflow threads, hyperscaler forums) and synthesize insights to inform product priorities.
- Market & Competitive Research: Research how competing cloud storage providers (AWS EFS, Azure Blob, Google Filestore) approach developer experience, PLG, and IDE integrations, and summarize findings into actionable competitive briefs.
- Metrics & Reporting: Help track PLG KPIs — extension installs, active users, onboarding completion, API adoption — and prepare dashboards or decks that communicate progress to leadership.
What You'll Gain
- Real-world PLG and developer experience PM work on production-scale cloud storage products.
- Exposure to hyperscaler partnership dynamics (Microsoft, Google, AWS) and how enterprise storage products reach developers.
- Hands-on familiarity with agentic AI frameworks, MCP integrations, and extension ecosystems.
- Mentorship from experienced Product Managers driving one of NetApp's key strategic growth bets.
- A collaborative team that ships fast, values intellectual curiosity, and learns loudly.
Job Requirements
- Strong interest in product management, developer experience, PLG, or cloud infrastructure platforms.
- Curiosity about AI-powered tooling, IDE extensions, or agentic workflows — hands-on experience is a strong plus.
- Analytical mindset with the ability to connect developer behavior signals to product decisions.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable writing PRDs, one-pagers, or competitive briefs.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (Azure, GCP, AWS) or storage concepts is a plus, not a requirement.
- Scrappy, resourceful, and comfortable operating with ambiguity in a fast-moving environment.
Education
Must be enrolled in an educational or professional program through Summer 2026 or later, preferably pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Business, or a related technical field.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding J-1 Visa Sponsorship as a Corporate Development Manager
Align your training plan with corporate strategy functions
Your DS-2019 training plan must map to specific competencies like deal sourcing, financial modeling, or market analysis. Vague plans get rejected by designated sponsors, so document each rotation with measurable learning objectives before approaching a host employer.
Target host employers with existing J-1 infrastructure
Companies that have hosted J-1 Trainees before already have compliance workflows for training plan approvals and SEVIS reporting. Search Migrate Mate to identify U.S. employers in finance, consulting, or corporate strategy that regularly engage international professionals.
Verify your field-of-study match before applying
The Trainee category requires your degree or prior work experience to align directly with corporate development functions. A background in business, finance, or economics is your strongest credential; mismatches between your transcript and the proposed training scope can trigger sponsor rejection.
Clarify the two-year home residency requirement early
Some J-1 participants are subject to a two-year home-country physical presence requirement before changing to most other visa categories. Determine your obligation before accepting an offer, since it affects your long-term U.S. career planning significantly.
Negotiate host employer commitment before sponsor submission
Designated sponsors like Cultural Vistas or AIPT require a signed host agreement and a detailed training plan before issuing your DS-2019. Confirm your host employer is prepared to complete that documentation before you begin the application process with any sponsor organization.
Benchmark your offered compensation against OFLC Wage Search data
J-1 Trainees must receive compensation commensurate with similarly situated U.S. workers. Before finalizing your offer, cross-check the proposed base against OFLC Wage Search for corporate development roles in your target metro to confirm the host employer meets wage requirements.

Find Corporate Development Manager JobsCorporate Development Manager J-1 Visa: Frequently Asked Questions
Which J-1 program category applies to Corporate Development Manager roles?
Most Corporate Development Manager placements fall under the J-1 Trainee or Specialist category. Trainee applies if you have a relevant degree plus at least one year of related experience, or five years of work experience without a degree. Specialist applies to recognized experts in a narrow field. Both require a U.S. Department of State-designated sponsor to issue your DS-2019 and approve a formal training plan with the host employer.
What is the difference between a J-1 sponsor and the hiring employer?
The J-1 sponsor is a Department of State-designated organization, such as Cultural Vistas or AIPT, that issues your DS-2019, monitors your program compliance, and interfaces with SEVIS. The hiring company is your host employer, not your visa sponsor. You need both: a host willing to structure a training program and a designated sponsor to administer the J-1 visa on your behalf.
How do I find U.S. companies open to hosting J-1 Corporate Development professionals?
Host employer openness to J-1 is rarely advertised directly in job postings. Migrate Mate aggregates U.S. employer and role data that aligns with J-1 sponsorship categories, so you can identify companies in corporate strategy, M&A, or business development that are structured to work with international professionals. From there, you approach them directly about a formal training placement.
Can the two-year home residency requirement affect my Corporate Development career in the United States?
Yes. If your J-1 is subject to the two-year home-country physical presence requirement under INA Section 212(e), you cannot change to H-1B, L-1, or most immigrant visa categories until you fulfill it or obtain a waiver. This is a critical factor to resolve before accepting a J-1 Corporate Development placement, especially if your long-term goal is remaining in the U.S. workforce.
What does the training plan for a J-1 Corporate Development Manager placement need to include?
Your training plan, typically filed on Form DS-7002, must outline specific corporate development competencies you will develop, such as financial analysis, deal structuring, or strategic planning. It should include phase-by-phase breakdowns, supervision details, and measurable performance benchmarks. Designated sponsors review this document carefully, and host employers unfamiliar with J-1 requirements often need guidance structuring it to meet SEVIS compliance standards.
