Your Team

Hear from Chris Riches, a previous intern who returned to Nutanix after graduating, about his experience in this team.

“My internship project was enjoyable and highly challenging in the best possible way. I was thrown into the deep end, but my team and mentors quickly taught me how to swim. I found myself delving deep into the full stack of virtualisation technology, from the control plane to the hypervisor to the kernel itself, and learned enormous amounts beyond what my Computer Science degree taught me about systems software. In 3 months over Summer 2021, I designed and prototyped an optimisation for VM migration that had a real impact on the product being developed. With the support of my colleagues, I achieved far more than I thought I was capable of. The interesting projects and excellent working environment and support meant I returned for a permanent position after graduating, and I’m glad that I did!”
