"Hungry, Humble, Honest, with Heart."

Nutanix is a global leader in hybrid multicloud that provides a single platform to run and manage any app and data anywhere. We eliminate infrastructure complexity and empower enterprises to harness AI and accelerate cloud-native development, freeing customers from IT operations management so they can focus on business innovation. With our core values of "Hungry, Humble, Honest, with Heart," we continuously learn, collaborate as a team, and contribute to our customers' success.

About the Team

We are a Technical Support Engineering team that troubleshoots technical issues occurring in customer environments. Our technical support receives customer ratings of NPS (Net Promoter Score) above +90.

We not only address customer technical issues through support cases, but also create Knowledge Bases (KB) and register product improvement requests with our development engineering team.

Because our role requires not only product knowledge of our own solutions but also knowledge of third-party virtualization products and public clouds, continuous improvement of technical knowledge and skills is always required. We actively encourage self-directed learning as well as participation in internal and external training.
