Job Summary

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 on a foundation that can be extended & re-used. This requires continuous rethink across many areas of product and stack.

At the heart of Rubriks architecture is an open-source scalable distributed SQL database. This is a fundamental building block and the metadata repository for all infrastructure components (e.g. distributed file system) and applications (e.g. Oracle db backup) in Rubriks 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 core 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.
