Member of Technical Staff - Linux Kernel development
- 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.
- Can convey ideas to a geographically diverse audience using excellent communication/writing skills.
- Participate in design discussions, often outside one’s known comfort zone -- learning on the go.
- Proactively mentor junior team members, finding ways to fuel their intellectual curiosity and leverage their unique strengths.
- Not hesitate to help with occasional 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 a rare, unfortunate outage.
- Take pride in working with open-source communities to convert product improvements into community projects.
- Problems you’ll solve:
- We’ve always believed in demanding the status quo and disrupting ourselves to provide the best-in-class customer experience. A case in point: Nutanix is well known for giving a zero-touch upgrade experience to our customers. Within the hypervisor team, we are focussing on 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.
- 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 analytical skills provide top-down thinking to break down abstract concepts into actionable pieces.
- Proven feature delivery experience: should have 8+ years of hands-on experience in shipping enterprise-quality code to customers.
- Bachelors/Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent.
- 8+ years of experience building enterprise-grade software, preferably some with leadership experience.
- Knowledge of x86 virtualisation and the KVM stack.
- Code contributions to the Linux kernel/virtualisation stack are an added plus.
