Employer description & source details
We are hiring a Senior Software Developer to design, build, and operate the platform and backend systems that power Rubrik at scale. You will own core infrastructure, spanning Kubernetes, cloud-native services, APIs, and developer tooling. Working closely with product, AI, and security teams, this is a hands-on, high-ownership role where you write production code, design systems, lead code reviews, and raise the bar for the entire engineering organization. Own end-to-end delivery of major platform initiatives, from design through deployment and post-launch success. Own Kubernetes at depth — clusters, networking, operators, container lifecycle, and multi-tenant orchestration. Design, develop, and optimize distributed services and cloud-native infrastructure on AWS and/or GCP for scale, reliability, and performance. Drive engineering excellence through code quality standards, design reviews, automation, and CI/CD best practices. Collaborate across teams — Product, AI, and Security — to align architecture with business objectives. Be a mentor and multiplier, guiding engineers through architecture decisions, trade-offs, and delivery. Partner with leadership to align engineering strategy with product objectives and technical roadmap. 7+ years of professional software engineering experience in backend and infrastructure development, with a proven record of delivering and running production systems. Strong hands-on coding in C++, Go, or Java, plus working fluency in Python, with production code beyond scripts and configs. Solid grounding in data structures, algorithms, concurrency, and memory management. Someone who has built applied AI tooling (e.g., Claude, LiteLLM, AI gateways, agent frameworks) and the ability to build backend services that integrate with them. Experience
Extracted skills: python, java, go, c++, sql, aws, gcp, docker, kubernetes, terraform, recruiting, security
