The role in plain terms

Rubrik says its engineers are self-starters who are given responsibility, not tasks: you design, develop, test, deploy, maintain and improve software on the Azure protection product, managing your own project priorities and deadlines. The stack favours Go, Java, C/C++, Scala or Python in a distributed systems and cloud context.

What you will do

Per the employer's listing, you will:

Build software using your strong background in distributed systems and cloud.
Design, develop, test, deploy, maintain and improve the software.
Manage individual projects priorities, deadlines and deliverables with your technical expertise.
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or equivalent in computer science or related field
0-2 years of relevant work experience,

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:

Bachelor's or Master's degree or equivalent in computer science or related field
0-2 years of relevant work experience
Proficiency in one or more general purpose programming languages like Go, Java, C/C++, Scala, Python
Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work independently or as part of a team on complex, time-sensitive projects.

Who this role suits

Fresh graduates and early-career engineers (0-2 years) with strong CS fundamentals who want distributed systems and cloud work at a public security company - this is one of the very few current openings at that level in Bengaluru. Azure familiarity helps, but the listing's bar is languages and fundamentals.

Practical notes

With a 0-2 years bar, expect fundamentals-heavy interviews: data structures, distributed-systems basics, and code quality. Show ownership - a project you drove end to end - because the listing emphasises self-management. Posted 7 October 2026 and open when we checked on 31 October.
