[TriLUG] [Job(s)] [Durham] Nutanix is hiring!

[Derek Linz via TriLUG]

Several openings locally at a pre-IPO hyperconverged startup that's just...awesome. The platform is CentOS derived and managers clusters of AHV (modified kvm), ESXi or (sigh) Hyper-V, with cluster-conversion capabilities between ESXi and AHV, and some really clever architecture.
The benefits are top notch and then some, the work environment could not be more positive, lunch is catered daily, all Heath care costs are covered --no payroll deductions, no deductibles. I could go on, but see what Glassdoor has to say:
