About the role:
We are hiring a Senior DevOps Infrastructure Engineer to join the Infrastructure team that supports R&D Engineering at Rubrik. This role sits at the intersection of platform engineering and DevOps, owning the automation, reliability, and scalability of private cloud environments including OpenStack, OpenShift, OLVM, Nutanix, Huawei, and VMware. You will design and operate the tooling, pipelines, and platforms that enable engineering teams to move fast — treating infrastructure as code, driving self-service provisioning, and embedding observability and reliability practices across the stack.
What you'll do:
- Own the design and development of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) solutions for private cloud platforms (OpenStack, OpenShift, OLVM, Nutanix, Huawei, VMware) using Terraform, Ansible and Python.
- Build and maintain self-service provisioning pipelines that allow engineering teams to spin up compute, network, and storage resources on demand across private cloud environments.
- Drive end-to-end automation of platform lifecycle operations — from cluster bootstrapping and OS imaging to patching, scaling, and decommissioning.
- Design and implement CI/CD pipelines for infrastructure changes, ensuring all platform updates are tested, versioned, and deployed through automated workflows.
- Develop and maintain platform observability stacks — metrics, logging, alerting, and dashboards — to ensure proactive detection and rapid resolution of infrastructure issues.
- Define and enforce SLOs/SLAs for platform services; lead blameless post-mortems and drive systematic elimination of toil through automation.
- Champion GitOps and DevOps best practices across the team — code reviews, version control for all infrastructure, and automation-first problem solving.
- Collaborate closely with Engineering, Security, and Networking teams to design scalable, secure infrastructure architectures that meet evolving R&D requirements.
- Evaluate and integrate new private cloud technologies and tooling, providing technical recommendations and proof-of-concept implementations.
- Serve as a technical escalation point for complex platform issues — conducting root cause analysis and driving permanent fixes rather than workarounds.
- Maintain comprehensive runbooks, architecture diagrams, and platform documentation as living artifacts within version control.
- Mentor team members on DevOps tooling, automation patterns, and platform engineering principles.
Experience you'll need:
- Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- 6+ years of experience in DevOps, platform engineering, or infrastructure engineering roles.
- 4+ years of hands-on experience with private cloud platforms — OpenStack, OpenShift, OLVM, Nutanix, Huawei, or equivalent.
- Strong proficiency in Infrastructure-as-Code using Terraform and Ansible; Python and/or shell scripting for automation is essential.
- Solid experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab CI, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) for infrastructure delivery.
- Experience with container orchestration — Kubernetes/OpenShift — and understanding of cloud-native deployment patterns.
- Proficiency with observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK stack, or equivalent.
- Solid understanding of Linux systems, networking (DHCP, DNS, BGP/VXLAN overlays), and storage protocols (NFS, iSCSI, FC).
- Experience with VMware environments (vSphere, vCenter, NSX) is a strong plus.
- Familiarity with GitOps workflows and version-controlled infrastructure management.
- Strong communication and documentation skills — able to write clear RFCs, runbooks, and architecture proposals.
- Self-driven, collaborative, and comfortable operating with a high degree of ownership in a fast-moving engineering environment.
- Experience with cloud storage solutions (AWS S3, Glacier) or hybrid cloud architectures is a plus.
- Familiarity with Rubrik backup and data management solutions is a plus.
