ABOUT THE TEAM

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 a distributed NoSql 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 fault tolerance demands from this component are always increasing. Any major scalability changes in higher layers require deep involvement from folks in this team: e.g. query planner optimizations for a new query stream. 

In addition the APIs & interactions of this layer need to be rethought as we continue building our infra for public & private cloud, and as the use cases on top multiply. 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.

ABOUT THE JOB

We are looking for a seasoned engineer to join the talented team and guide it through the next level of evolution. You’ll be working on core parts of a database engine, distributed transaction support, query planning etc. You’ll be immersed in a dynamic and fluid environment of a startup. You are expected to come up with step improvements in the system and lead them from start to finish. You’ll be expected to guide the technical roadmap for the team and advise all dependent teams as we evolve the stack to use cloud. 

You’ll be in a position to have a very significant impact on Rubrik’s trajectory. The opportunity provides a potent mix of dynamism, startup culture, serious technical challenges and influence across many teams. If all this sounds interesting, please reach out.
