ABOUT THE TEAM

Vulcan owns the upgrade workflow of software releases on on-prem clusters.  Our mission is to make software upgrades seamless, simple, fast and non-disruptive. 

Our customers undergo 2-3 software upgrades in a year. We strive to bring the simplicity similar to an Android/iPhone upgrade to the world of enterprise. Our goal is to make upgrades have zero downtime and zero failures.  Recently, we have - 

- Built 20+ models of predicting upgrade failures before they actually happen.

- Added support for upgrade rollback by moving to a dual-disk partition based deployments.

- Optimized Upgrade performance by 2x by minutely analyzing every task in the workflow.

We are looking for a seasoned leader who can guide the team through the next stage of evolution. The scope of Upgrade is going to go beyond just one entity to all other executables that are developed at Rubrik such as Rubrik backup agents. And then there is a constant need to push the boundaries on Upgrades performance which is one of Rubrik’s key strengths.

Upgrades is the core workflow due to which our customers get access to our new features. It is a horizontal core platform service which all other components depend on to ensure Upgrades are a success.  As the manager of this team you will need to manage stakeholders across the company, creating and evolving the interfaces b/w the various teams. You would need to put in a structure that allows the team to pursue multiple goals simultaneously, yet be nimble to business imperatives and shift resources appropriately.
