Software Engineer - Intern

Rubrik’s interview process typically starts with a timed online coding test focusing on arrays, strings and graph problems, followed by a technical interview that dives deeper into coding, system design and problem‑solving approach. The final HR round assesses cultural fit, communication skills and internship logistics. Candidates should practice writing clean code under time pressure and be ready to discuss their projects confidently.

Round 1: Online coding assessment (DSA & aptitude) → Round 2: Technical interview (coding, system design, problem solving) → Round 3: HR interview (fit, motivation, availability)

The Software Engineer – Intern role is designed for bright engineering students who want to contribute to real‑world products while learning from seasoned professionals. Interns are given the freedom to work on features that matter, from designing new services to improving existing ones, and are expected to collaborate closely with product managers, senior engineers and QA teams. This exposure helps interns develop a holistic view of the software development lifecycle in a fast‑paced, cloud‑native environment. Key responsibilities include: 1. Designing, developing and testing new modules for Rubik’s security and AI platforms. 2. Writing clean, maintainable code in Java, Python, C++ or Scala and adhering to coding standards. 3. Participating in code reviews and providing constructive feedback. 4. Deploying services on cloud infrastructure and monitoring their performance. 5. Identifying bottlenecks in the software stack and proposing optimisation strategies. 6. Maintaining documentation for APIs, design decisions and deployment procedures. 7. Collaborating with cross‑functional teams to define project priorities and deliverables. 8. Contributing to automated testing frameworks and CI/CD pipelines. 9. Debugging production issues and implementing quick fixes. 10. Continuously learning emerging technologies and sharing knowledge within the team. The tech stack at Rubrik spans Java, Python, Scala, C++, Kubernetes, Docker, AWS/GCP, and a suite of monitoring tools. Interns will get hands‑on experience with micro‑service architectures, RESTful APIs, and modern DevOps practices. Successful interns often transition to full‑time Software Engineer roles, with clear growth paths into senior engineering, architecture or product leadership positions. Joining Rubrik means working on cutting‑edge security and AI solutions, gaining mentorship from industry experts, and being part of a culture that values curiosity, impact and diversity.
