Meet the hiring manager

Hello, this is Prathyush! I joined Nutanix 8 years ago and worked in several teams and roles during this time. I have been leading and managing the AHV Control Plane team for the last 2+ years. Before that I was a tech lead in the same team for 3 years. Over the course of the last five years, I got the opportunity to overhaul our API story as well as re-architect some of the critical backend components to aid in building the next generation Control Plane for AHV Virtual Machine management. With the release of our latest APIs, we are inching closer to our vision. My team is now actively engaged in making the backend services horizontally scalable; of which our Belgrade team plays a significant role.

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

What the Team Says 

“Our team is a highly collaborative, skilled, and friendly group of engineers who foster a culture of learning and knowledge sharing. This creates an environment where any problem can be solved efficiently and effectively. Our new project requires close collaboration with other teams across the organisation, providing a valuable opportunity for professional development and growth.”

How we work

We work in a hybrid style, letting everyone in the team decide on their preferred work location. Some of our team members enjoy remote work, while others like the office environment. We are trying to minimize the number of meetings and nurture the culture of writing and sharing documents, which helped us achieve a more flexible schedule and transparent knowledge sharing. We also have weekly Nutanix lunch days that are a great opportunity to connect in person with the team and other colleagues.
