The Opportunity

Integral to the Nutanix software stack is the Acropolis Hypervisor (AHV). AHV is an enterprise-grade hypervisor, tailor-made for Nutanix's software solution. It has reliability, performance and scalability characteristics proven to be capable of meeting the demands of the toughest enterprise and private cloud workloads.

Within the AHV team we have a specialist role for someone to manage and improve the device drivers for guest VMs, most particularly developing and qualifying drivers for Windows VMs.

About The Team

The team is led by industry experts with 20+ years of experience, who are leading AHV development globally. We have a forward-thinking approach to our work that has retained many of the best elements of start-up mentality whilst also recognising the need for mature delivery and execution. We work with open-source technologies including Linux KVM, QEMU, Open vSwitch and Libvirt.

Your Role


* Design, develop, and maintain AHV features, often interacting with Open Source communities.
* Constantly push towards making AHV highly reliable, performant and secure.
* Find innovative solutions to deliver the next generation of datacenter management solutions for cloud computing and AI infrastructure.
* Leading the development of features from concept to market, often interacting with cross-functional areas such as product management, sales, and support.
* Mentoring other software engineers.

What You Will Bring

* Bachelor’s, Master’s, and/or PhD degree in Computer Science (preferred) or another technical discipline/equivalent experience.
* 3-10 years of industry experience or equivalent research experience.
* Rock solid coding skills in C/C++, ideally for enterprise-quality software.

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.
