AHV is also the core software platform for our Nutanix Clusters cloud solution, Nutanix Kubernetes Platform, Nutanix Agentic AI, End User Computing, and more. AHV is the heartbeat of our hybrid cloud infrastructure platform. You will contribute and own key marquis features on the platform, and drive and measure adoption success rates. In addition to a superior track record, analytical, and strategic skills, you will also display superior business judgment.

We encourage diverse perspectives and foster an environment where collaboration is key to driving our strategic goals forward. You will report to the VP of Product Management, who is dedicated to mentoring and guiding the team while promoting a high-performance culture. Our work setup is hybrid, which allows for flexibility; however, we do ask that team members come into the office three days a week to facilitate collaboration and enhance team synergy. Additionally, while travel is not a regular requirement, there may be occasions when it will be necessary to meet with stakeholders or customers in person, ensuring you have the opportunity to build those valuable connections. Your Role * Help define and execute roadmap for core AHV hypervisor development * Regular customer outreach, collection, and synthesis of customer feedback into prioritized requirements. * Create detailed market requirements documents (MRDs) and actionable product requirement documents (PRDs) for each release * Coordinate with cross functional teams (product management, engineering, program management, support, marketing, etc.) to drive roadmap execution. * Track, manage, and report on KPIs on an ongoing basis. * Evangelize, provide customer advocacy and briefings to deliver and promote AHV messaging. * Provide ongoing field support as needed to drive high customer satisfaction and engagement. * Drive field and partner enablement in collaboration with marketing and enablement teams * Author, build and maintain compelling internal and external facing collateral in organization with outbound teams ## Related Videos - [Understanding Kubernetes in a visual way](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100085-understanding-kubernetes-in-a-visual-way) - [Stop Renaming Teams, Start Product Thinking: A PM's Guide to Platform-as-a-Product](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100342-stop-renaming-teams-start-product-thinking-a-pm-s-guide-to-platform-as-a-product) - [Instant KAI Sandboxes with vCluster: Multi-Tenant, Multi-Scheduler GPU Sharing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100333-instant-kai-sandboxes-with-vcluster-multi-tenant-multi-scheduler-gpu-sharing) - [Unwind: Breaking the Psychology of Cloud Vendor Lock-in](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1621-unwind-breaking-the-psychology-of-cloud-vendor-lock-in) - [Microservices: how to get started with Spring Boot and Kubernetes](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/242-microservices-how-to-get-started-with-spring-boot-and-kubernetes) - [Shipping Faster with Less: Render on Cloud Hosting, AI Workloads, and the Future of DevOps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1894-shipping-faster-with-less-render-on-cloud-hosting-ai-workloads-and-the-future-of-devops) ## Related Articles - [What Are The Top Skills Required For Azure Developers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/77-what-are-the-top-skills-required-for-azure-developers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Should Tech Managers Be Developers First?
