Member of Technical Staff 2

Nutanix interviews typically consist of an initial timed coding test followed by two technical rounds focusing on data structures, algorithms, system design, and debugging of distributed systems. The final HR round assesses cultural fit and communication skills. Candidates should practice problem‑solving under time pressure and be ready to discuss real‑world troubleshooting scenarios.

Nutanix promotes a collaborative, high‑trust environment where engineers are encouraged to experiment and own end‑to‑end solutions. The company emphasizes continuous learning, offering generous training budgets and internal tech talks. Employees report a balanced work‑life rhythm with flexible hours and supportive leadership.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Information Technology or related field; minimum 4 years of relevant industry experience; CGPA/percentage ≥ 60%; no active backlogs; graduates of 2020‑2024 batches are preferred.

Round 1: Online coding assessment → Round 2: Technical interview (deep‑dive into system design, coding, and troubleshooting) → Round 3: Managerial/HR interview (fit, culture, compensation discussion)

Known for maintaining a high Net Promoter Score (NPS), the team resolves complex production issues, builds automation tools, and enhances product debuggability. Their work is frequently highlighted in internal R&D All‑Hands meetings, reflecting the high impact and visibility of their contributions. As a Member of Technical Staff 2 (MTS‑2) in the DevEx (NDK) stream, you will act as a Sustaining Engineer, bridging the gap between product development and customer support. You will dive deep into distributed, micro‑service‑based storage systems, diagnose hard‑to‑reproduce bugs, and deliver reliable fixes or work‑arounds. The role offers exposure to cutting‑edge cloud‑native storage stacks, Kubernetes‑based workloads, and virtualization technologies such as KVM and VMware. You will also collaborate with cross‑functional teams—SW Development, QA, Documentation, and Product Management—to ship high‑quality features in a fast‑paced environment. **Key Responsibilities** 1. Investigate and resolve escalated customer issues at the code level, providing timely work‑arounds and permanent fixes. 2. Develop automation scripts and tools to identify performance bottlenecks and facilitate root‑cause analysis. 3. Design and implement utilities that improve product debuggability and serviceability. 4. Engage directly with customers and support engineers to reproduce production problems and validate solutions. 5. Contribute to the development of new software features and bug fixes within the micro‑service ecosystem. 6. Write clear, maintainable code in Linux environments using C, C++, Python, or Golang. 7. Collaborate with the QA team to create robust test cases and validation frameworks. 8. Participate in on‑call rotations and provide field support for critical incidents. 9. Mentor junior engineers and share best practices across the DevEx community. 10. Stay updated with emerging cloud‑native storage technologies and propose architectural improvements. **Tech Stack**: Linux/Unix, C, C++, Python, Golang, Docker, Kubernetes, KVM, VMware, micro‑services, REST APIs, gRPC, Prometheus, Grafana, Git, Jenkins. **Growth Path**: Successful performers can progress to Senior Member of Technical Staff, Principal Engineer, or move into Product Management or Architecture roles within Nutanix’s broader engineering organization. **Why Join Nutanix?** The company offers a vibrant, inclusive culture that rewards curiosity and technical depth. Engineers get to work on large‑scale, production‑grade systems that impact thousands of customers worldwide. Competitive compensation, generous learning budgets, and a clear path for technical advancement make Nutanix an attractive destination for ambitious software engineers.
