Software Engineer 4 (C++, Systems)

Nutanix • Durham, NC • 5h ago

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 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 techniques

Familiarity 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 technologies

Past projects involving large-scale distributed systems such as Hadoop, Cassandra, Zookeeper

Comfortable with virtualization technologies like KVM, VMware, Hyper-V, Xen

Love 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 $ 147,000 and USD $ 294,000 per year.

However, base pay offered may vary depending on multiple individualized factors, including market location, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The total compensation package for this position may also include other elements, including a sign-on bonus, restricted stock units, and discretionary awards in addition to a full range of medical, financial, and/or other benefits (including 401(k) eligibility and various paid time off benefits, such as vacation, sick time, and parental leave), dependent on the position offered. Details of participation in these benefit plans will be provided if an employee receives an offer of employment.

This role operates in a hybrid capacity, blending the benefits of remote work with the advantages of in-person collaboration. For most roles, that will mean coming into an office a minimum of 3 days per week, however certain roles and/or teams may require more frequent in-office presence. Additional team-specific guidance and norms will be provided by your manager.

If hired, employee will be in an "at-will position" and the Company reserves the right to modify base salary (as well as any other discretionary payment or compensation program) at any time, including for reasons related to individual performance, Company or individual department/team performance, and market factors. Our application deadline is 40 days from the date of posting. In good faith, the posting may be removed prior to this date if the position is filled or extended in good faith.
