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 at Nutanix. It 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.The Role Architect, design and develop reliable, efficient, high-performance data-path software for large-scale enterprise and hybrid cloud. Develop an understanding of complex distributed systems and design innovative solutions for customer requirements. Work on performance, scaling out, and resiliency of distributed storage systems. Work alongside development, test, documentation, and product management teams to deliver high-quality products in a fast-paced environment. Engage with customers and support when needed to solve production issues. What you’ll bring Completion of a bachelor’s or master's degree in Computer Science or a related Engineering field is required. 6-10 Years of experience in designing and developing applications is required.Familiarity with OS internals, distributed systems and good practices for design/implementation. Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and analysis techniquesFamiliarity with OS internals, concepts of distributed data management, web scale systems and proven ability in having built clustered, high-performance, fault-tolerant distributed applications or systems software. Experience with any of file systems, operating systems, database back-ends, distributed systems, cloud technologiesPast projects involving large-scale distributed systems such as Hadoop, Cassandra, ZookeeperComfortable with virtualization technologies like KVM, VMware, Hyper-V, XenLove of programming and expertise in one or more languages: C++, C, Java Hungry and humble attitude with a keen sense of working as part of a dynamic team.  The visa sponsorship is not available for this role at this time.The pay range for this position at the commencement of employment is expected to be between USD $ 143,200 and USD $ 285,600 per year.However, base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
