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 on 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 and the metadata repository 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 core 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 RoleWe are looking for a highly motivated and diligent software engineer at the early stage of their software development career with a deep interest in databases and distributed systems or Operating System, Networking, Storage, Clustering, and Containerization with a passion for coding.
What you'll do- Design & Develop: Take end-to-end ownership of features—from drafting design documents and coding to testing and deployment in production.
- Solve Scale Challenges: Work on complex problems related to data integrity, high-throughput systems, concurrency, and security.
- Collaborate: Work closely with Product Managers, UX Designers, and senior engineers through detailed code reviews and architectural discussions.
- Grow & Learn: Participate in our structured mentorship program designed to help you rapidly scale your technical skills and navigate your career path.
