Software Engineer - Winter Intern

Round 1: Online coding assessment (30‑45 mins) → Round 2: Technical interview (system design & coding) → Round 3: HR interview (fit & motivation)

Rubrik promotes an inclusive, merit‑based culture where engineers are encouraged to take ownership and experiment. Employees benefit from mentorship, regular learning sessions and a balanced work‑life approach, with flexible hours and a supportive environment for personal growth.

Rubrik’s interview process typically starts with a timed online coding test focusing on arrays, strings and graph problems. Successful candidates move to a technical interview where they solve live coding challenges and discuss design trade‑offs. The final HR round assesses cultural fit, communication skills and motivation. Preparation should include strong fundamentals in algorithms, system design basics and clear articulation of past projects.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science or related field; CGPA 8.0 or above; graduating in 2027 from circuital branches (e.g., Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics & Communication); available on‑site in Bangalore from Jan 2027 to May 2027; no backlogs allowed; must be a full‑time student during the internship period.

Maintaining and improving existing services to ensure high performance and reliability. 3. Managing individual project timelines, priorities and deliverables with minimal supervision. 4. Identifying performance bottlenecks and proposing scalable solutions. 5. Writing clean, well‑documented code and participating in code reviews. 6. Collaborating with cross‑functional teams to translate product requirements into technical specifications. 7. Conducting unit, integration and system testing to validate functionality. 8. Contributing to documentation, knowledge‑base articles and internal tooling. 9. Staying updated with emerging technologies in cloud security, AI operations and data protection. 10. Participating in sprint planning, stand‑ups and retrospectives to continuously improve the development process. The tech stack primarily includes Java, Python, C/C++ and Scala, with cloud platforms such as AWS and Kubernetes, and data‑storage technologies like PostgreSQL and Cassandra. Interns will gain exposure to CI/CD pipelines, micro‑service architectures and modern DevOps practices. Growth path: High‑performing interns are often offered full‑time Software Engineer positions after graduation, with clear career ladders into senior engineering, architecture or product leadership roles. Rubrik’s commitment to continuous learning, mentorship programs and internal mobility ensures that talent can evolve alongside the company’s rapid expansion. Why join Rubrik? You will work on mission‑critical security products that protect the world’s most valuable data, collaborate with industry experts, and enjoy a culture that rewards curiosity, impact and diversity.
