About the Team & Role:

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.

As a member of the Rubrik Agent Cloud team, you'll work with cutting-edge AI technologies while solving complex challenges in scaling, security, and performance. We're a collaborative team passionate about pushing the boundaries of what's possible with enterprise AI infrastructure.

What You'll Do:

As a Senior Cloud Platform Engineer on this team, you will be a key leader in building, governing, and optimizing the multi-cloud foundation that powers our platform. You will drive the strategy for how we securely and efficiently scale our services across various cloud providers.

This role is perfect for a hands-on technical leader who is passionate about automation, security, and mentoring a growing team.

Design and Govern Secure Cloud Foundations:
  • Drive end-to-end cloud onboarding process for new business units, applications, and teams across multiple clouds such as AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI.
  • Drive Implementation of secure landing zones, multi-account/tenant structures, IAM and Policies.
  • Enforce tagging standards, resource hierarchy models, and governance frameworks to enable accountability, cost tracking, and lifecycle management.
  • Manage and evolve IAM, SSO, Org/Subscription/Project policies, and Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) across all clouds.

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.

Experience You'll Need:

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).
  • Expertise in multi-cloud IAM, Org/Project design, security policies, logging/monitoring, and access controls.
  • Strong skills in automation and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) using tools like Terraform, Python, and GitHub Actions.

  • Understanding of FedRAMP operational controls; past FedRAMP environment experience is a significant plus.
  • Experience working at the intersection of infrastructure and product - a track record of working with product and backend engineers to design and build novel solutions that are not constrained by runtime environment e.g. onprem, customer cloud, neo cloud, or managed cloud
  • Experience proactively solving customer pain points at the infrastructure level (simplifying customer onboarding procedures, redesigning systems to meet customer security requirements)
  • Experience with modern performance programming languages such as Go, Rust a plus
  • Deep knowledge of modern cloud infrastructure across clouds via service mesh networking (Istio/LinkerD, envoy, eBPF a plus).
