About The Position

As a Software Engineer in CDP team at Nutanix, you will play a crucial role in designing and developing reliable, efficient, and high-performance data-path software for large-scale enterprise and hybrid cloud environments. Your work will involve understanding complex distributed systems and solving customer requirements by designing innovative solutions. You will also focus on performance, scaling out, and resiliency of distributed storage systems. Working closely with various teams, you will contribute to delivering high-quality products in a fast-paced environment. The role also offers the opportunity to engage with customers and support them in resolving production issues. This position supports Nutanix's mission by maintaining the quality of the Nutanix’s AOS(Acropolis operating system) , which is essential for enabling hyper-convergence and hybrid cloud solutions. What makes this role particularly interesting and unique is the chance to design and develop software for next-generation features on the distributed HCI platform and contribute to the transition to hybrid cloud. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to address technical debt and drive aggressive performance goals for the platform, while ensuring prompt resolution of customer issues by collaborating with support and SRE teams. The CDP team was the first team created at Nutanix. The team is responsible for the Nutanix Distributed Storage Fabric (NDSF) - a high-performance shared-nothing distributed file system. The Stargate team is the "data-engine" of the distributed file system, responsible for handling all the IO requests, placing data, dedupe, compression and encryption, healing from failures, etc. The work for the Stargate team is challenging because designing an enterprise-grade distributed file system means that we have strict requirements of consistency and performance, and we always have to reinvent ourselves as newer and faster drive technologies emerge.
