Member of Technical Staff - 4

Hungry, Humble, Honest, with Heart. The Opportunity We are a small, high-impact team within Nutanix building the Nutanix Database Service (NDB)—a Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) platform that simplifies database operations at scale.

NDB provides a unified UI and REST APIs to manage both open-source and enterprise databases, enabling organizations to standardize their database estate while improving efficiency, agility, scalability, and cost optimization across the entire lifecycle—from provisioning and high availability to patching, scaling, upgrades, and backup/restore.

We are now entering the next phase of NDB’s evolution—expanding into in-memory databases, autonomous database management, and advanced access control (IAM/RBAC) capabilities.

If you are passionate about solving real customer problems, enjoy working in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment, and want to shape the future of DBaaS platforms, this is an excellent opportunity.

About The Team We are a highly energetic, driven, and results-oriented team that thrives on solving complex challenges and delivering meaningful impact. Our culture is built on ownership, collaboration, and a relentless focus on outcomes. We move fast, learn continuously, and push boundaries to achieve excellence in everything we do. If you are passionate about making a difference, enjoy working in a dynamic environment, and are motivated by tangible results, you’ll feel right at home with us.

Your Role As an MTS-4 engineer, you will play a key role in designing and building core platform capabilities, with significant ownership and technical influence.

You Will Architect, design, and develop scalable, secure, and resilient components for a multi-hybrid cloud DBaaS platform

Develop a deep understanding of customer (developer and DBA) workflows and translate them into intuitive, high-impact solutions

Drive end-to-end feature ownership, from design through development, testing, and production readiness

Collaborate closely with other developers, QA, product management, and documentation teams to deliver high-quality releases

Contribute to technical design discussions, code reviews, and system evolution, ensuring long-term scalability and maintainability

Contribute to areas like autonomous database operations, orchestration, and IAM/RBAC (experience here is a strong plus)

Engage with customers and support when needed to solve production issues.

What You Will Bring We are looking for engineers who are:
