About the Team

At Nutanix, you will be part of the Data Platform team based in Bangalore who are passionate about open source systems and distributed data infrastructure.

We build and operate internal platforms around ClickHouse (analytical database) and NATS (streaming service) that power analytics and real-time workloads across Nutanix products.

Multiple product teams depend on us for reliable, scalable, and performant data solutions — and we take pride in being the subject matter experts (SMEs) for ClickHouse and NATS within Nutanix. We love open source, actively explore upstream improvements, and bring the best of the OSS world into our ecosystem.

The team culture emphasizes unity and a shared focus on achieving goals, fostering collaboration and innovation. Working closely together, team members value each other's contributions and support one another in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

You will report to a Staff Engineer at Nutanix. The work setup is hybrid, allowing for flexibility and a healthy work-life balance.

• Good understanding of computer science fundamentals — OS, networking, and concurrency.
• Hands-on experience in at least one programming language: Go, C++, or Python.
  
  Experience with distributed systems.
• Familiarity with analytical databases (e.g., ClickHouse, Druid) or streaming systems (e.g., NATS, Kafka, Pulsar).
