About The Position

Nutanix has disrupted the multi-billion-dollar virtualization market by pioneering the first converged compute & storage virtualization appliance that can incrementally scale out to manage petabytes of data while running tens of thousands of virtual machines. Here at Nutanix we are looking for a Software Engineer in the Core Data Path that are responsible for the Nutanix Distributed Storage Fabric (NDSF) that underlies the entire Nutanix solution. This storage stack (a high-performance shared-nothing distributed file system) is the foundational piece to enable hyper-convergence and hybrid cloud solutions. The software defined storage helps us power infrastructure for all kinds of applications on all kinds of platforms. That coupled with a simplicity focused design makes the engineering problem both profound and rewarding. The engineer will take responsibility for end to end quality and work with a team with a deep understanding of systems internals and distributed file systems.
