About the team you will join 

Meet the hiring manager and Lead Counsel, International Structure and Strategic Transactions, Matt Ng 

 (https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-ng-aa72302/) 

• I joined Nutanix as a contractor in July 2020 and became an employee in October 2021. I joined because of the people! 
• I had an intense period of working for a startup company that I tried to help go public and eventually was taken over by Intel. I then took some time off and was doing consulting work when I was approached to help out at Nutanix. I was also the lead corporate lawyer at Oracle when we took over PeopleSoft in a $10.3 billion acquisition.  
• My biggest achievement? My family – raising two boys with my wife who have grown into responsible young adults looking to find their way in the world (both are in college). 
• It will be very important to have a candidate who fits in well with the team and this will involve having a person who is willing to take on many varied tasks and not feel that any appropriate task is beneath them 
• I am a National Chess Master.  Some highlights of my chess career are that I was part of the University of California team that won the Pan Am Games (tied for first with Harvard), placed second in the National High School Championship and won the Southern California Amateur Championship. 

How we work: 

Our team is in different countries across the world allowing us to combine remote work with office-based presence when required. Those of us located in the same country strive to meet every quarter in person for networking and sharing ideas. We meet up online as EMEA team monthly to reconnect.  

When working from home, you will still feel connected to the team with our weekly meetings, 1-1s and daily slack (instant messaging) chats with all of us. #LI-PT2
