Staff Cloud Security Architect

Rubrik sells data security and cyber recovery software, and this seat is inside its own Information Security organisation, securing Rubrik rather than building the product. The role defines cloud security architecture across the company's hybrid and public cloud estate: reference architectures, reusable security patterns, governance frameworks and compliance requirements, plus architecture reviews, threat modelling and risk analysis of cloud native services. The posting is emphatic that this is hands on and not an advisory seat, and asks you to build proofs of concept, tools and platforms that fix security problems at scale. You also partner with incident response and the SOC on detecting and investigating cloud incidents. At 15 or more years it is the most senior listing on today's board.

What the posting requires: a bachelor's or master's in computer science, IT or a related field. 15 or more years securing complex on premises or cloud deployments, with a minimum of 6 years dedicated to cloud security architecture and design, including significant experience across AWS, GCP or Azure. Deep technical understanding of core cloud service models including compute, network and storage. Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language such as Python, Go or Java for automating security tooling. Extensive experience with containerised applications (Kubernetes, Docker), CI/CD pipelines and microservices. 5 or more years with infrastructure as code for complex systems using Terraform, Ansible or similar. Demonstrated ability to explain complex technical issues to both specialists and non technical stakeholders.

The day to day: defining and implementing cloud security architecture frameworks and guidelines; prioritising security maturity initiatives with cross functional teams; designing scalable solutions with cloud security architects, developers and engineers; building proofs of concept, tools and platforms; running architecture reviews, security assessments, threat modelling and risk analysis; establishing secure reference architectures and reusable patterns; strategic planning for cloud security capability including native and third party tooling; and partnering with incident response and SOC analysts.

Location and office reality: Bangalore, India.

Who this is for: a cloud security architect deep into a career, who still wants to build. One practical note: Rubrik's careers site rejects automated requests, so this listing was verified live through the Greenhouse jobs API rather than by fetching the page. It opens normally in a browser.
