DevOps Engineer, Developer Productivity

Hungry, Humble, Honest, with a Heart.

The Opportunity:

We manage and build highly scalable services that support thousands of engineers at Nutanix. We breathe infrastructure as code, monitoring/alerting, kubernetes, and python. We find and use services and tools that improve the productivity of our engineers. When those services and tools don't exist, we build them. Join our team for the opportunity to do all those things, in a collaborative environment that values your contributions.

Your Role:

• Design, implement and monitor enterprise-grade secure fault-tolerant infrastructure
• Build infrastructure automation tools and frameworks leveraging Docker, Kubernetes, CloudFormation/Terraform, and Helm
• Continuously evaluate and identify current system bottlenecks, and implement solutions to improve the scalability of our infrastructure
• Work with extended teams to manage systems and infrastructure required for ongoing development and releases
• Participate in the on-call rotation for our services
• Consult with internal and external stakeholders on the best way to accomplish a given task
• You will help grow the team by mentoring and interviewing other talented engineers that want to join us

What You'll Bring:

• 5+ years of relevant experience
• Significant programming experience in one or more languages (i.e., python)
• Linux systems administration experience
• Substantial experience with containerization and kubernetes
• Host level understanding of networking (TCP/IP)
• Significant experience using APIs and producing automation that uses them
• Significant on-prem and cloud (AWS/GCP) experience, design-patterns, limitations, and cost containment techniques
• Prior experience implementing significant technology redesign projects
• Ability to implement effective monitoring and alerting

Even better if you bring:

• Experience supporting CI/CD systems (Jenkins, CircleCI)
• Experience with Artifact Management Systems (Artifactory, Nexus)
• Experience administering source code management systems (GitHub, Gerrit)
• Database administration experience

About The Team

Meet Marc Swingler, the hiring manager

• I joined Nutanix in 2018 as a DevOps Engineer to support engineering teams at scale
• I now manage the team I originally joined in 2018
• Before joining Nutanix, I previously worked as a Software Engineer, Release Engineer, DevOps Engineer, and Manager.
• Big wins tend to come from big challenges. My biggest professional wins come from taming performance issues in systems used at scale.
• A more personal win for me was learning to seek criticism. It's helped me grow both professionally and as an individual.
• We're looking to find a new team member who loves a good challenge, strives for the well-designed solution, is always working to evolve and improve
