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.
