About the Opportunity

What a former Nutanix Intern had to say!

“The thing I really liked about this project was that it's a real use case which is, which is actually going to be used by the customers. So, my code had to be up to date with the Nutanix standards and everything. Another thing I really liked was that my team had a lot of sessions for me.
