Engineering Manager - Exocompute

About the team

You’ll be joining the Exocompute team, we build the platform that supports Rubrik’s SaaS products and allows for a very flexible deployment model and architecture. A key challenge faced by Rubrik is how to support a variety of customers – some want Rubrik to run everything (SaaS), others want the data to remain in their public cloud but still have it managed by Rubrik (Hybrid SaaS), and finally sine want a private, on-premise solution (On-Prem). Rubrik supports all three and with a single flexible data-plane platform separate from our control plane. Exocompute builds this data-plane and solves a variety of hard problems around performance, security, high availability and best-in-class costs.

About the role

We are looking for an Engineering Manager who has a strong technical background and has worked on platforms and infrastructure in the past. We value managers who provide guidelines to their team and play a supporting role but give folks the space to take ownership of their work.

You’ll help the team understand the business objectives and translate them into a technical roadmap and list of priorities. As part of this, you’ll partner with various stakeholders across Rubrik that Exocompute supports.

You will work closely with a Director of Engineering based in New York City, and other engineers based in Palo Alto, so experience working with distributed teams and multiple timezones is ideal.
