Member of Technical Staff 3- Core Data Path

Hungry, Humble, Honest, with Heart.

Member of Technical Staff (this role) is a Software Development role for the Nutanix Distributed Storage Fabric (NDSF) - a high-performance shared-nothing distributed file system. This storage stack is the foundational piece that enables hyper-convergence and hybrid cloud solutions. This software defined storage helps our customers power their infrastructure for all kinds of applications on all kinds of platforms. That coupled with a simplicity focused design make the engineering problems both profound and rewarding. The candidate engineer will take responsibility for end to end ownership along with working in a team with a deep understanding of systems internals and distributed file systems.

The Core Data Path (CDP) team was the first team created at Nutanix. It is the team that is responsible for the Nutanix Distributed Storage Fabric (NDSF) - a high-performance shared-nothing distributed file system. We have sub-teams under the CDP umbrella which focus on core data path, data transformations, metadata and backup/recovery engines. The “Medusa” team is the metadata engine team for the distributed file system, which is responsible for handling and managing all the metadata IO requests. In general, the work related to the CDP group is challenging because it involves designing an enterprise-grade distributed file system that provides durability with strict consistency and performance guarantees, and hence we always have to reinvent ourselves, with newer and faster algorithms and hardware technologies.
