Solutions Automation Engineers build the software behind that certification: the programmatic environment builds and validation workflows that Solutions Architects and Quality Engineering rely on.\nWe are changing how that work gets done. Standing up infrastructure is already a solved problem for us, because our Python infrastructure-as-code tooling builds the same environment the same way every time. Judgment is the harder part, and it covers reading a validated design, catching the contradictions buried in it, and justifying every design decision before anything gets built. That is the work we are handing to agents.\nIn this role you will write the deterministic Python that has to be correct on every run, and you will build the agentic workflows around it: the prompts, the skills, the guardrails, and the evaluations that decide when an agent can act on its own and when control belongs to a pipeline or to a person.\nYou will work on hard problems at scale, with the freedom to deliver, alongside engineers who care about getting it right.\nYour Role\nDesign, build, and maintain Python software that deploys, configures, and validates Nutanix private and hybrid cloud environments.\nBuild agentic workflows around that software, including prompt engineering, agent skill and tool development, and the evaluation harnesses that show a workflow works before we rely on it.\nDecide what belongs in deterministic code and what belongs to an agent, and be able to defend that decision. Most of what you deliver should be deterministic and repeatable, with agents used where the problem involves ambiguity, synthesis, or design judgment.\nUse agentic coding tools in your daily work, and help raise the team's practice as the tooling changes.\nBuild and operate cloud native, automated pipelines, covering containerized workloads, CI/CD, and infrastructure as code, so that builds and validations run without manual intervention.\nAutomate validation as part of building the feature, and catch regressions before a release reaches a customer.\nAnalyze failures, determine root cause, and drive fixes to closure.\nDemo your work to Solutions Architects, product teams, and customers, and write documentation that other people can actually use.\nEngage with customers and support when needed to solve production issues.\nWhat You'll Bring\nBachelor's Degree in Computer Science or a related field.\n6+ years building production software, with real depth in at least one role.\nPython is required.We are looking for production-grade depth and the ability to own a Python codebase that other people depend on.\nHands-on experience building with LLMs and agentic tooling: prompt engineering, agent skills or tool definitions, and testing and evaluating non-deterministic systems.\nGood judgment about where automation should be deterministic and where an agent adds value, and the discipline to keep the trusted path in code.\nStrong fundamentals in Object-Oriented Programming, algorithms, data structures, and problem solving.\nCloud native delivery experience: containerized applications (Docker, Kubernetes) and automated CI/CD pipelines.\nExperience working against REST APIs and building infrastructure as code.\nExperience with a \"systems\" product such as storage, virtualization, networking, databases, or operating systems.\nSkill in debugging complex distributed applications.\nExcellent written and verbal communication, and the confidence to present technical work to customers and senior stakeholders.\nA self-starter who can work independently, juggle competing priorities, respect differences, and maintain professionalism under pressure.\nNice to Have\nAdditional languages beyond Python: Golang, JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, React, Angular, etc.\nExperience with Terraform, Ansible, or comparable infrastructure as code tooling.\nBackground as a platform engineer, SRE, or solutions architect who writes production code.\nExperience with Jira, GitHub, Artifactory, and modern CI systems.\nPublic evidence of your work: GitHub projects, open source contributions, or published technical writing.\nWork Arrangement\nHybrid: This role operates in a hybrid capacity, blending the benefits of remote work with the advantages of in-person collaboration. In locations where our workplace policy applies (i.e. San Jose, Durham, Mexico City, Bangalore, Pune, Hoofddorp, Belgrade, Barcelona, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo), employees are expected to work onsite a minimum of 3 days per week to foster collaboration, team alignment, and access to in-office resources. Workplace type may vary based on location and team requirements. Please speak with your recruiter for details. Additional team-specific guidance and norms will be provided by your manager.\n--","description_format":"text","description_chars":4903,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"},{"name":"Mexico","iso":"MX","kind":"country"},{"name":"Singapore","iso":"SG","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cloud Platforms (IaaS & PaaS)","Virtualization & Containers"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-05T15:17:34Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-11-05T20:22:44Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":null,"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/nutanix-senior-solutions-automation-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/nutanix-senior-solutions-automation-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T10:34:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":11393,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":43912},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=43912"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fnutanix-senior-solutions-automation-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fnutanix-senior-solutions-automation-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fnutanix-senior-solutions-automation-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/nutanix-senior-solutions-automation-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fnutanix-senior-solutions-automation-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3813030}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"nutanix.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3813030},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
