Job Description

About the Team

At Nutanix, you will have the opportunity to be part of the Hypervisor team, a dynamic group that is spread out geographically. Despite being in different locations, the team collaborates effectively and maintains a strong sense of camaraderie. Working with the Hypervisor team means being surrounded by some of the most talented engineers in the world of systems engineering.

Culturally, Nutanix believes in creating an open and supportive environment where everyone can be their most authentic self at work. This setup also provides exciting exposure to diverse perspectives and opportunities for personal and professional growth.

You will report to a manager who is committed to supporting your development and ensuring your success within the organisation.

A day in the life of an AHV Hypervisor Engineer:

We aim to work as closely with the open-source community as possible. Our engineers are highly encouraged to participate in open-source community development. Any work you do will be preserved as open-source and commit(s) to posterity.

Problems youll solve:

Weve always disrupted ourselves to provide the best in-class customer experience.

A case in point: Nutanix is well known for providing a zero-touch upgrade experience for our customers. Within the hypervisor team, we are focussing on various ways to make this faster and more reliable -- by pushing the limits of VM live migrations towards speed and predictability, or rethinking why a hypervisor upgrade should need a reboot at all.

Your Role
  • Youll 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 ones known comfort zonelearning 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/Masters degree in Computer Science or equivalent.
  • 3+ years of experience building enterprise-grade software, preferably some with guide experience.
