About The Team:
The Rubrik Engineering team is comprised of people who produce extraordinary results. Our engineers are driven to build efficient, reliable, and cost effective products. We believe in empowering our teams, giving engineers autonomy and responsibility, not just tasks. Our goal is to motivate and challenge you to do the best work of your career. As part of the Rubrik Engineering team, you will work closely with product managers, designers, and other engineers to define the next generation of products for Rubrik. At Rubrik, nothing will stop you from thinking big. We are looking for individuals who are comfortable with ambiguity and excited by the prospect of a challenge. If you have a positive attitude, high energy and limitless drive, and like to win, we want to talk to you!
Data protection needs for large enterprises are evolving into a varied usage of private/public clouds. While Rubrik has built incredibly successful solutions for both, our technical architecture needs to constantly evolve to fit our customers needs, working seamlessly across public/private clouds. To provide the same magical experience to our customers while maintaining the agility of a startup, we need to converge our solutions to a foundation that can be extended & re-used. This requires continuous rethink across many areas of product and stack.
At the heart of Rubrik’s architecture is an open-source scalable, distributed SQL database. This Is a fundamental building block for all infrastructure components (e.g. distributed file system) and applications (e.g. Oracle db backup) in Rubrik’s stack. Because of its central role, the performance, scalability, and availability demands from this component are continually increasing.
In addition, we are rethinking the APIs & interactions of this layer in order to continue building our infra for new and varied use cases for the public & private cloud. Being at the bottom of the stack, this layer (and the team) needs to provide guidance for all software layers above it (e.g., file system, reporting, UI) to transition smoothly.
