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.

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.

About the Team

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.
