Software Engineer

Rubrik’s interview process typically starts with a timed online coding test focusing on data structures, algorithms and basic system design. Successful candidates move to a technical interview where they solve coding problems on a shared editor, discuss design of distributed/cloud services, and answer questions on containerization and cloud platforms. The final HR round assesses cultural fit, communication skills and career aspirations. Preparation should include practicing medium‑hard LeetCode problems, reviewing cloud fundamentals, and being ready to discuss past projects in detail.

Rubrik promotes a collaborative, merit‑based culture where engineers are trusted to own end‑to‑end features. The company offers clear growth ladders, regular tech talks and a healthy work‑life balance, with flexible hours and remote‑friendly policies for most teams.

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electronics & Communication or related engineering discipline; minimum 60% aggregate (or CGPA 6.5/10); 2+ years of relevant software development experience; no active backlogs at the time of joining; graduates from 2020‑2024 batches are preferred.

Round 1: Online coding assessment (DSA & problem solving) → Round 2: Technical interview (coding, system design, cloud concepts) → Round 3: HR interview (culture fit, motivations, compensation discussion)

Rubrik’s culture emphasizes merit, inclusion and a startup‑like agility, encouraging engineers to take ownership of end‑to‑end solutions rather than just completing tasks. The Cloud Native Protection team is a high‑impact group within Rubrik that focuses on safeguarding data that lives in AWS, Azure, GCP and other cloud environments. As a Software Engineer on this team, you will be part of a small, fast‑moving squad that designs and builds the next generation of cloud‑native security services. You will work on distributed systems that ingest, index, protect and analyze massive volumes of cloud data, ensuring low latency, high availability and strong security guarantees. The role offers a blend of product development, system design and operational excellence, giving you exposure to the full software lifecycle. Key responsibilities: 1. Design, develop and ship cloud‑native protection features using Go, Java or Python. 2. Build scalable micro‑services that run on Kubernetes and interact with public‑cloud APIs. 3. Write unit, integration and performance tests to guarantee reliability. 4. Participate in code reviews, architecture discussions and technical debt remediation. 5. Own the end‑to‑end delivery of assigned modules, from requirement gathering to production rollout. 6. Collaborate with product managers, security analysts and SREs to translate security requirements into robust code. 7. Optimize data pipelines for cost‑effective storage and rapid retrieval. 8. Contribute to documentation, monitoring dashboards and incident response playbooks. 9. Mentor junior engineers and share best practices around SDLC, CI/CD and cloud security. 10. Stay current with emerging cloud services, container technologies and security standards. Tech stack includes Go, Java, Python, Docker, Kubernetes, AWS/Azure/GCP services, REST/GRPC APIs, Prometheus/Grafana for observability, and CI/CD pipelines built on Jenkins or GitHub Actions. Rubrik encourages continuous learning; engineers can attend internal tech talks, obtain certifications (e.g., AWS Solutions Architect) and contribute to open‑source projects. Growth path: Successful contributors can progress to Senior Engineer, Staff Engineer, or Technical Lead roles, eventually moving into Architecture or Product Management tracks. Rubrik’s flat hierarchy and emphasis on impact mean high performers are recognized quickly and given ownership of critical initiatives. Why join Rubrik? You will work on cutting‑edge cloud security problems at scale, within a company that values innovation, diversity and personal growth. The blend of startup energy and enterprise resources provides a unique environment to accelerate your career while making a tangible impact on protecting the world’s data.
