Your Role

• You’ll be working with a team of extremely talented engineers across a spectrum of geographies and experiences. The most successful candidate for this role will be someone who:
• Constantly look for ways to improve the product, learning from customer questions and not limited to existing technologies.
• Devise solutions and back them up with solid research and numbers to prove their efficacy.
• Have the ability to convey ideas to a geographically diverse audience using excellent communication and writing skills.
• Participate in design discussions, often outside one’s known comfort zone—learning on the go.
• Proactively mentor junior members of the team, finding ways to fuel their curiosity and leverage their unique strengths.
• Not hesitate to help out with customer escalations: Nutanix believes in putting customers first. While we have a huge, dedicated team to assist customers with any issues, there might be situations where engineering help might be sought to bail out an unfortunate outage.
• Take pride in working with open-source communities to fold product improvements back into community projects.

What You Will Bring

• The must-haves:
• Rock-solid OS/systems fundamentals drive design and implementation.
• Low-level coding, debugging experience with at least one hardware architecture, preferably x86.
• The ability to write and maintain enterprise-quality code.
• Deep reasoning and detailed skills, which provide top-down thinking to break down abstract concepts into actionable pieces.
• Proven feature delivery experience: should have 8+ years of hands-on experience of what it means to ship enterprise-quality code to customers.
• The good-to-haves:
• Knowledge of x86 virtualisation and the KVM stack.
• Code contributions to the Linux kernel and virtualisation stack are an added plus.
•  
• Desired qualification & experience:
• Bachelor's/Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent.
• 0-3 years of experience building enterprise-grade software, preferably some with guide experience.
