About this role
Rubrik sells data security and cyber resilience software, and this customer facing architect role is built around one deep specialism: Microsoft SQL Server. The posting asks for 10 or more years in customer facing technical sales or consulting roles focused on enterprise database technologies and cloud, and then gets specific about what that expertise has to cover. Architecting and managing large scale high availability and disaster recovery solutions is the core, with extensive experience across Always On Availability Groups, Failover Cluster Instances and log shipping named explicitly. Cloud databases are the second half, covering design and management of Azure SQL and Azure SQL Managed Instance. It is a rare combination in one person: genuine SQL Server internals depth plus the ability to sit in front of an enterprise customer and design their resilience architecture with them.
Who this is for
What the posting requires:
- 10+ years of successful experience in customer facing technical sales or consulting roles focused on enterprise database technologies and cloud.
- A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Core expertise, with deep technical proficiency required in:
- Microsoft SQL Server: architecting and managing large scale high availability and disaster recovery solutions, including extensive experience with Always On Availability Groups, Failover Cluster Instances and log shipping.
- Cloud databases: design and management of Azure SQL and Azure SQL Managed Instance.
What this kind of role involves: acting as the deep database specialist in customer engagements, designing how enterprise SQL Server estates are protected and recovered, and advising customers on architecture decisions that carry real consequences if a recovery is ever needed. Rubrik's product is data security and cyber resilience, so the conversations are about backup, recovery, ransomware resilience and business continuity for databases that organisations cannot afford to lose.
Why the specialism is worth noting: HADR architecture for SQL Server at enterprise scale is a genuinely narrow skill. Most database professionals administer, fewer architect availability groups and failover clusters, and fewer still can do that while sitting in front of a customer explaining the tradeoffs. If you are in that overlap, roles like this are where that combination is valued most.
⚠️ Applying to Rubrik: rubrik.com returns 403 to automated requests, so this listing was verified live through the Greenhouse jobs API rather than by fetching the page directly. It opens normally in a browser.
Location and working pattern: Bengaluru, India. Office days are not stated in the posting.
Honest fit guidance: read the customer facing technical sales or consulting phrasing carefully. This is a pre-sales and consulting seat, so commercial outcomes are part of how it is judged, and the technical depth is what earns the right to be in the room. If you are a SQL Server DBA who enjoys the customer facing side, this is a natural next step. If you want to stay purely hands on inside one estate, it is not.
