Engineering Manager

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. We strive to bring simplicity to data center management and constantly challenge ourselves to simplify complex systems.

At Nutanix, we are trying to build the next-generation platform to help enterprises model and develop applications; and encapsulate the application architecture and deployment as code. We aim to provide application lifecycle operations such as build, deploy, start, stop, upgrade, and retire, “out of the box”. We want enterprises to be able to manage and move their application workloads, across and between bare metal, VMs on-premise or cloud, or containers.
