Rubrik
About this role
Rubrik secures enterprise data with its Zero Trust platform, covering backup, recovery, data observability and orchestration across enterprise, cloud and SaaS environments. Read this posting carefully, because the title undersells where the role sits in one important way. Rubrik places it inside the Information Technology organisation, which it describes as the team that centralises management of infrastructure, technology and data to create operational efficiency as the company scales past a billion dollars, and which ensures the software development lifecycle runs in a secured environment. So the work is building AI capability and backend services for internal use rather than shipping the product customers buy. That is a legitimate, well paid and genuinely technical specialisation, and the requirements are demanding: deep Kubernetes, production distributed systems and real cloud fluency. But it is a different career direction from product engineering, and it is worth being clear about that before you apply.
Who this is for
What the posting requires
- 9+ years of software engineering with a deep backend and infrastructure focus
- Strong Python and/or Go. The posting is pointed here, asking for people who ship production code rather than scripts and configuration
- Deep hands on Kubernetes: building and operating clusters, not just deploying onto them
- Proven experience designing and operating distributed systems in production
- Cloud native fluency across AWS and/or GCP spanning compute, storage, identity and access management, networking and managed services
- Experience with infrastructure as code using Terraform or similar, and CI/CD pipelines
- Familiarity with applied AI tooling and patterns, including agentic AI tools, AI gateways and agent frameworks, and the ability to build backend services that integrate with them
- Strong system design and architectural judgement
- Clear communication, partnering across product, security and AI teams
Counts as a bonus, not a requirement
- Observability stacks such as Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog or OpenTelemetry
- Multi cloud or hybrid infrastructure experience across AWS, GCP and on premise
Read where this role sits
Rubrik places this position in its Information Technology organisation rather than core product engineering. That team centralises infrastructure, technology and data management to create operational efficiency as the company scales, and owns the secure environment the development lifecycle runs in. The AI capability you would build is for internal use.
Location and working pattern
Bangalore.
One practical note
Rubrik's application page sits behind bot protection and may refuse automated traffic or load slowly. We confirmed this posting is live. If it does not open first time, retry in a normal browser window.
A good fit if
You are experienced, genuinely interested in enterprise AI and internal platform engineering, and you want deep infrastructure work with modern AI tooling attached.
Think twice if
You specifically want to build a product customers buy. Rubrik's hypervisor opening in this same edition is the product engineering one, and the two lead to quite different careers.
