Job description

We’re building Rubrik Agent Cloud, the enterprise platform to monitor, govern, and remediate AI agents. Our team operates at the intersection of AI, distributed systems, and enterprise security, creating solutions that make it possible for organizations to operate production-grade AI agents at scale.

Embed Security and Compliance at Scale:

  • Design and implement security controls including encryption, KMS, VPC Service Controls, privileged access management (PIM), and audit logging.
  • Proactively address security vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance gaps in collaboration with the InfoSec teams.
  • Lead periodic Compliance Audits, cloud security and producing mitigation and remediation strategies.

Drive Automation, Efficiency, and Optimization:

  • Collaborate with the team for development of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) templates and automation pipelines using Terraform, Cloudformation, and CI/CD (Flux, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD etc) to support and manage various aspects of Cloud Operations.
  • Continuously identify cost-optimization opportunities via rightsizing, storage tiering, idle resource elimination, and architecture reviews., Rubrik (RBRK), the Security and AI Operations Company, leads at the intersection of data protection, cyber resilience, and enterprise AI acceleration. Rubrik Security Cloud delivers complete cyber resilience by securing, monitoring, and recovering data, identities, and workloads across clouds. Rubrik Agent Cloud accelerates trusted AI agent deployments at scale by monitoring and auditing agentic actions, enforcing real-time guardrails, fine-tuning for accuracy and undoing agentic mistakes.

Requirements

You are a passionate and experienced cloud expert who thrives on building scalable, secure, and automated systems.

  • BS/MS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 2+ years of CloudOps, Engineering, or Software Architecture experience, with deep expertise in at least one major public cloud (AWS/GCP) and familiarity with others (Azure, OCI, etc).
