The Opportunity

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 Distributed Storage Fabric (NDSF), 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 distributed databases on 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 

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 Ntnx db team is the metadata engine of the distributed file system, responsible for handling all the metadata. It is also the metadata store for all other components in the NDSF stack. The work for the Ntnx db team is challenging because designing and developing an enterprise-grade distributed, highly scalable, highly available metadata store while delivering high performance with strict consistency is not simple. We always have to reinvent ourselves and be on track with latest research in the field.
