About the role
Rubrik is on a mission to secure the world's data, and its Information Technology team centralizes the management of infrastructure, technology, and data to scale the organization. The Enterprise AI team is Rubrik's internal AI enablement engine, operating at the intersection of applied AI, distributed systems, and enterprise operations to make Rubrik more efficient through AI-powered workflows. This Senior Software Engineer role designs, builds, and operates the platform and backend systems — Kubernetes, cloud-native services, APIs, and developer tooling — that power Rubrik at scale, working closely with product, AI, and security teams.
What you will do
- Own end-to-end delivery of major platform initiatives, from design through deployment and post-launch success.
- Own Kubernetes at depth — clusters, networking, operators, container lifecycle, and multi-tenant orchestration.
- Design, develop, and optimize distributed services and cloud-native infrastructure on AWS and/or GCP for scale, reliability, and performance.
- Drive engineering excellence through code quality standards, design reviews, automation, and CI/CD best practices.
- Collaborate across teams — Product, AI, and Security — to align architecture with business objectives.
- Be a mentor and multiplier, guiding engineers through architecture decisions, trade-offs, and delivery.
- Partner with leadership to align engineering strategy with product objectives and technical roadmap.
Skills used in this role
What the employer is looking for
- 9+ years of software engineering with deep backend and infrastructure focus.
- Strong programming skills in Python and/or Go — you ship production code, not just scripts and configs.
- Deep, hands-on Kubernetes experience — building and operating clusters, not just deploying to them.
- Proven experience designing and operating distributed systems in production.
- Cloud-native fluency across AWS and/or GCP — compute, storage, IAM, networking and managed services.
- Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar) and CI/CD pipelines.
- Familiarity with applied AI tooling and patterns — agentic AI tools (Claude, LiteLLM), AI gateways, agent frameworks — and being able to build backend services that integrate with them.
- Strong system design and architectural judgment.
- Clear communicator who partners well across product, security, and AI teams.
Preferred qualifications
- Observability stacks — Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry.
- Multi-cloud or hybrid infrastructure experience (AWS, GCP, on-prem).
- Familiarity with API gateways, AI gateways, and policy/authorization frameworks (ABAC, OPA).
- Service mesh or platform-as-a-service design experience.
- Track record of improving engineering productivity at scale.
Benefits and support
- Compensation and benefits are detailed in the job posting
