Meet the hiring manager

Hello, this is Prema! I joined Nutanix 7 years ago and worked in the AHV Scheduler team during this time. I have been leading and managing this team for the last 2 years. Before that I was a tech lead in the same team. Over the last couple of years, I got the opportunity to drive the vision for our Scheduler component which is crucial in building the next generation Control Plane for AHV Virtual Machine management and getting our multi-cluster management story right for both on-premises and hybrid cloud. My team is now actively engaged in making the backend services horizontally scalable for this vision and building on new features; of which our San Jose team plays a significant role.

I’d like to build upon our success in hiring skilled engineers in our San Jose office who can aid in our vision, bring new ideas, and help build a high-quality product.

Our new project requires close collaboration with other teams across the organization, providing a valuable opportunity for professional development and growth.”

How we work

We work in a hybrid style and all of our team members enjoy coming to the office 2-3 days a week.
