About Team & About Role:

RSC (Rubrik Security Cloud) is the SaaS control plane for Rubrik. Our mission is to build a highly scalable, reliable and secure cloud data management platform for the largest enterprises in the world.

As an engineer on the RSC Platform team, you’ll be working on the fundamental infrastructure components that all other RSC product teams at Rubrik build upon, including our microservices architecture, Kubernetes deployment system, distributed job workflow engine, database instances(Mysql) and platform cloud security. This is an exciting time to join as we are constantly improving and innovating on each of our core layers - Kubernetes services, distributed job framework, MySQL and security.

Some challenges include:

Scalability: As a high-growth company, we have seen a huge growth year over year. This is accompanied by the number of Rubrik engineers whom we support. As a result, our team is constantly re-imagining and engineering our platform infrastructure to support this growth.

Stability: Stability around the clock is our top-most concern. We think about reliability at every layer of the stack, from individual infrastructure systems to the reliability of services owned by product teams at Rubrik.

Security: Security is an essential pillar of our operations. As we scale and focus on stability, we ensure that our infrastructure and services are secure against threats and vulnerabilities. This includes implementing robust security protocols, regular audits, and real-time monitoring to protect our data and systems. We prioritize securing our environment to maintain the trust and safety of our users and stakeholders.

What You’ll Do:

Rubrik Software Engineers are self-starters, driven, and can manage themselves. We believe in giving engineers responsibility, not tasks. Our goal is to motivate and challenge people to do their best work. Bottom line, if you have a limitless drive and like to win, we want to talk to you - Come make history!

Palpable Score

/ 100
Rubrik hires early-career talent through recurring internships and maintains visible early-talent recruiting capacity, which keeps entry points open for graduates. The strongest signals are around intern learning design and benefits, while the weakest area is consistent interview transparency, since candidates mostly rely on third-party descriptions rather than a clearly published, standardised process.
