Rubrik Atlas is the core data path for all Rubrik products, whether in the data center, at the edge, or in the cloud. It is a distributed, scale-out, fault tolerant, performant, deduplicated user-space filesystem that uniquely combines block device (ext4/NFS/SMB) and S3 backend storage interfaces. It has been the cornerstone of Rubrik’s innovative tech stack since Day 1.
Since inception this team has attracted some of our strongest technical talent with a very high bar for quality and velocity. We are looking for motivated engineers, who can complement this rockstar team!
About Role

At the heart of this transformation is our Atlas platform. We are looking for an experienced distributed systems engineer to guide us through the next stage of the evolution of our data platform.

There will be a wide range of features to work on, including cloud storage-backed file systems with effective cost analysis, building data formats optimized for read and write performance for all workloads, deduplication and compression, reliability, resiliency, infinite scalability, performance tooling using eBPF, asynchronous programming, various read-ahead techniques, snapshotting, data integrity, data security, data immutability in the cloud, and many more.
This opportunity provides a potent mix of dynamism, fast startup-like culture, serious technical challenges, and influence across many teams and leaders. If all this sounds interesting, or if you want to know more, please reach out.
What are we looking for?
- Bachelor’s and/or Master’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent
- 3+ years of experience in Distributed File System
- Strong fundamentals in distributed systems design and development
- Experience in building systems at scale and backend development
- Hands on with the code and have hands-on coding skills in C++
