About the role
The Systems Engineering team in Rubrik's Developer Platform organization owns the reliability of Rubrik Cloud Data Management (CDM) and RSC-P products, building the infrastructure and pipelines that validate stress, scale, longevity and resilience and owning the call on whether a release is reliable enough to ship. The team builds self-service stress, scale and chaos platforms, extreme-scale simulators, long-running customer-like environments, and AI-driven triage and reliability tooling. This role owns release reliability certification, sets the qualification roadmap, and leads and grows a geographically distributed engineering team while driving AI adoption across the team's workflows.
What you will do
- Own release reliability. Be accountable for the reliability call behind every CDM release, and make ship-or-hold decisions with release managers and component leaders.
- Drive the qualification roadmap. Set one roadmap for release workflows and fast build qualification, improving both quality and speed.
- Build self-service platforms. Lead the engineers building our stress, scale, chaos and longevity infrastructure, simulators and long-running environments, so component teams can validate their own work.
- Lead and grow a high-performing team. Build a culture of transparency, innovation and security-first thinking in a fast-paced environment. Hire, coach and retain engineers across geographies.
- Run the team with operational rigor. Set a clear operating rhythm (sprint planning, stand-ups, regular reviews), keep the bar high, give direct feedback and hold the team accountable for delivery.
- Run on metrics. Track certification cycle time, customer-found escapes, triage time and infrastructure cost, and act on them.
- Reimagine reliability in the AI era. Use and promote AI and emerging technologies in the team, in line with the Company and Engineering vision, including AI-driven triage and automation, and measure the results.
- Partner broadly. Align priorities with component leaders, product managers and program managers, and communicate with stakeholders at every level.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- 12+ years in the software industry, with hands-on experience building and delivering enterprise-grade products as both an individual contributor and a manager.
- 3+ years leading teams of software or systems engineers, with a track record of delivering high-quality enterprise releases.
- Technical depth in distributed systems, test infrastructure, or release and reliability engineering.
- Experience hiring and building top-tier teams, including teams spread across geographies.
- Experience building engineering practices, processes and operational rigor.
- Track record of communicating clearly and influencing across engineering, product and executive leadership.
- Ability to execute in ambiguous, fast-paced environments.
- AI-forward leadership: proven use of AI to improve your own work and your team's, for example by building or adopting AI agents and tooling that measurably cut triage time, speed up infrastructure and pipeline delivery, or automate release workflows.
