## Description

As a Senior Member of Technical Staff in Platform Engineering, you will design and develop critical software that integrates our underlying hardware platforms with the core Nutanix software stack. You will be operating at the intersection of hardware and software, and tackle complex system integration challenges. You will be working with world-class cross functional teams building reliable software that can operate at scale.

About the Team

You will join the Platform Engineering organization at Nutanix headquarters in San Jose, CA. Our team is responsible for the entire lifecycle of NX products, from initial hardware integration to long-term software sustenance. We operate in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment where deep technical expertise meets hands-on problem solving. The culture here values autonomy and rigorous engineering, empowering you to work closely with cross-functional peers to build robust, scalable platform abstraction layers that power our core enterprise cloud architecture.

You will report directly to the Director of Engineering, Platforms, a leader who prioritizes technical mentorship and giving senior engineers the autonomy to architect complex solutions from the ground up. This leadership style is rooted in providing clear context on hardware behaviors while empowering you to own the software implementation independently. You can expect a supportive, high-trust environment where architectural decisions are discussed openly and your technical contributions have a direct, visible impact on the performance and reliability of Nutanix products globally.

Your Role

 * Collaborate with AHV, Core Data Path, Infrastructure, and New Technologies teams to integrate new hardware capabilities and technologies.
 * Design, develop, and maintain hardware abstraction and integration layers connecting Nutanix NX platforms with the broader software stack.
 * Define and implement management and control-plane interfaces that enable RAS capabilities, including health monitoring, fault detection, diagnostics, and remediation.
 * Apply knowledge of hardware virtualization and hardware-software interactions to troubleshoot complex issues, lead technical triage, and provide guidance to partner teams.
 * Lead cross-functional efforts to investigate and resolve customer issues in field deployments.
 * Automate diagnostics, issue reproduction, root-cause analysis, and regression testing for identified hardware and software issues.
 * Build reliable, observable, and scalable integration services for clusters spanning hundreds of hosts.
 * Contribute to design reviews, integration testing, and improvements in platform reliability, maintainability, and operational efficiency.
