Automation Testing with Python & Networking (MTS4/SMTS)

Hungry, Humble, Honest, with Heart.

The Opportunity

Nutanix pioneered the SDDC revolution by bringing the simplicity and elasticity of the cloud to the on-prem data center. Our converged virtualization product can scale to manage petabytes of data while running thousands of virtual machines. And while cloud adoption is surely accelerating, laws of economics and compliance are ensuring that the future belongs to hybrid clouds. Nutanix is heavily investing in features that make hybrid cloud deployments seamless and frictionless.

Were looking for solid engineers who are constantly looking to push the envelope in terms of not only usability and functionality, but also performance and scale. This role will provide you with an opportunity to deeply validate the functionality of features, while also ensuring that the overall solution is rock solid. We have a strong bias for automation in everything we do, so be prepared to code extensively as part of your role!
