Identity and access security engineer at Rubrik in Bengaluru: hands-on design and automation across the company's entire identity security program, posted 24 September 2026.

The listing is explicit that this is fundamentally a hands-on role: you personally design IAM systems from the ground up and build automation that scales across a large application portfolio. It asks for a minimum of 6 years in identity and access management with deep implementation experience, so this is a senior individual contributor seat.

About Rubrik

Rubrik (NYSE: RBRK) describes itself as the Security and AI Operations Company: one platform for data security, identity and AI operations that gives enterprises cyber resilience - backup, recovery and protection of the data that runs their business. Its Cloud Native Protection business is one of its fastest growing teams, which it calls a startup inside a startup. Learn more on Rubrik's website.

The role in plain terms

You execute the technical strategy for identity and access security across the company: modern identity platforms like SailPoint, Okta or CyberArk, identity governance and access certification, privileged access management, and the newer frontier of non-human and AI identities. The listing expects real building - Python or Go automation, Terraform and CI/CD - not just tool administration.

What the employer asks for

These requirements are quoted from the employer's listing, kept in their exact words so eligibility details are not distorted:

Minimum of 6 years of experience in Identity and Access Management (IAM), with deep hands-on experience implementing and managing IAM solutions.
Proficiency with modern identity platforms (e.g., SailPoint, Okta, CyberArk, or equivalents) and identity protocols such as SAML, OpenID Connect, and OAuth.
Strong understanding of Identity Governance, Privileged Access Management (PAM) principles, Non-Human Identities/AI Identities and Access Certification.
Proficiency in a general-purpose programming language (e.g., Python, Go), with experience in infrastructure-as-code (IaC) and CI/CD tooling (e.g., Terraform).

Who this role suits

Senior IAM engineers (6+ years) who build rather than administer: the listing asks for system design plus automation code. Strong fit for identity engineers at large enterprises or security vendors who want to own a whole program's technical strategy. Not for helpdesk-adjacent IAM admin backgrounds.

Practical notes

Non-human and AI identities are named in the listing - a hot, concrete topic, so bring an informed opinion on governing service accounts and agent identities. Be ready to whiteboard an identity lifecycle design and show automation you wrote. Bengaluru-based, posted late September.
