Staff Engineer - Linux & Kernel

 The Opportunity

Nutanix AHV builds on top of the open-source x86-KVM stack, with an emphasis on performance, scale, and reliability. The hyperconverged nature of our stack provides the phenomenal potential for optimizations cutting across various parts of our stack -- right from the kernel and ranging up to, but not limited by, the management layer. 

We are looking for original thinkers who won't hesitate to demand conventional thought in arriving at out-of-the-box solutions. 

We aim to work as closely aligned with the open-source community as possible. Our engineers are highly encouraged to participate in open-source community development. Any work you do will be preserved as open-source commit(s) for posterity!
