Staff Engineer - Distributed File System
About the job

Rubrik’s distributed file system (Atlas) has been the cornerstone of Rubrik’s innovative tech stack. It has provided performance & stability while allowing teams to build differentiating capabilities on top. Since inception this team has attracted some of our strongest technical talent.

We are looking for seasoned engineers who can lead us through the next stage of evolution of the filesystem. There are many reasons that necessitate this evolution. The filesystem was initially designed for onprem use cases. But with the shift to cloud, a lot of those use cases are migrating to cloud. To adapt, a lot of the assumptions underpinning the design need to be revisited. A new class of applications with very different access patterns that are currently very inefficient are also coming up. The set of hardware platforms that Rubrik supports is expanding at a rapid pace and the filesystem needs to work gracefully across all of them. And then there is a constant need to push the boundaries on performance which is one of Rubrik’s key strengths.

As a technical leader in the team, you’ll be laying down the technical foundations for the tectonic shifts mentioned above. You’ll be responsible for outlining the architectural principles we should build towards, prototyping changes and working with the team to realize the vision in a production quality system. Since Atlas is at the heart of Rubrik, your technical direction will also impact multiple teams across Rubrik, as we need to guide them on how to best build on top of Atlas.

The technical stack will involve high performance c++, distributed system algorithms, kernel, disk, network protocols, schedulers, performance et al. You’ll be in a position to have an outsized impact on Rubrik. 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.=
