Hungry, Humble, Honest, with Heart.

The Opportunity

The Stargate team is looking for individuals who are in sync with our values and are passionate about distributed system software development. This is an opportunity to work with software that powers Nutanix Enterprise Cloud. You will get a chance to apply and broaden your expertise in storage, virtualization, distributed systems, cloud services, k8s and AI systems storage. 

Container Attached Storage is a Kubernetes-native, software-defined storage solution that allows k8s admin and app developers to manage storage with an application-centric approach . Cloud Native AOS offers Container Attached Storage  using Kubernetes pods to run AOS distributed storage fabric , enabling seamless integration with cloud-native stateful workloads. The platform supports dynamic provisioning, thin provisioning, data efficiency, and application-centric snapshots. Cloud Native AOS can be used in both hyperconverged and disaggregated storage environments in a hybrid cloud environment. The stateful application Pods use the Nutanix CSI driver to  consume storage entities that the AOS Pods present as Persistent Volumes. Much like an on-premise HCI setup, Cloud Native AOS too provides  all the core Nutanix data management and copy data management functionalities.
