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 an open-source scalable, distributed SQL 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 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 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 Staff level software engineer with the strategic vision and execution chops to join the talented database team and guide it through the next level of evolution. You will be working on core parts of the database engine, distributed transaction support, query planning etc. You are expected to come up with step improvements in the system and drive them from start to finish within the dynamic environment of a startup. You will be expected to collaborate with other senior architects to build and drive the technical roadmap for the team and advise all dependent teams as we evolve the stack.
