Software Engineer, Cloud Engineer - Software, Backend Developer

Position: Software Engineer 4
** Hungry, Humble, Honest, with Heart!*
* ** The Opportunity*
* 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.

** The Team*
* The CDP team was the first team created  is the team 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, which is responsible for handling all the IO requests, placing data, handling dedupe, compression, erasure-coding 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.
