At Nutanix, our interns are more than just students—they are dreamers, builders, and future innovators whose fresh perspectives bring energy to our teams. 

We're thrilled to announce that Nutanix has been ranked among the Top 150 internship programs by Vault, a significant achievement that reflects our commitment to fostering a supportive and impactful environment for all our employees. This recognition is a testament to our people-first culture, where interns are empowered to work on meaningful projects, gain valuable skills, and contribute to a diverse, inclusive workplace.

From day one, interns dive into hands-on work that allows them to learn a role from the ground up and make a real impact on our products and business. They are mentored by experienced professionals, supported by a collaborative community, and encouraged to explore new ideas, soft skills, and technologies. For instance, Software Engineering interns may work on meaningful projects such as defining and implementing live migration protocols for new virtual devices. Systems Reliability Engineering interns gain valuable experience shadowing experienced technical support engineers before they have the opportunity to communicate directly with customers to handle various technical challenges. 

My internship at Nutanix as a Systems Reliability Engineer during the final year of my degree stands out too. Whilst university equipped me technically for the industry, I lacked the soft skills needed (like communication, time management, and leadership). My internship allowed me to work on my soft skills and gave me great insight into what it truly is to work in the tech industry.

Our internship program is designed to help those in the early stages of their journey land and expand their career. This includes personalized guidance, structured learning paths, and opportunities for interns to present their ideas and get feedback from peers. We aim to build a community where every intern feels welcomed, supported, and excited about the future they’re helping to shape.

One of my favorite things about interning at Nutanix is that the work that I'm doing is useful work that genuinely needs to be done. I feel productive and excited to contribute to a product that customers will genuinely use!

In the spirit of innovation, we also prioritize projects that challenge interns to grow in their technical and leadership skills. Whether it’s advancing our enterprise cloud solutions, building cutting-edge infrastructure, or creating new tools for customer engagement, interns at Nutanix are right in the middle of the action, working alongside experienced teams to bring these projects to life.

The environment at Nutanix encouraged a culture of continuous learning, and I seized every opportunity to expand my knowledge beyond the project's scope. Engaging in the global Nutanix Hackathon nurtured my curiosity and instilled a passion for staying at the forefront of advancements in the industry.

Earning a spot on Vault’s list is an important milestone for us, and we’re grateful to our dedicated team of mentors, managers, and colleagues who make this possible. Their commitment to providing an outstanding intern experience is evident every day, and this recognition reflects their hard work and passion. Thank you to our entire Nutanix community for making this honor possible and for embracing our interns as valuable members of the team.
