Senior Talent Partner, Engineering
Location: Bengaluru, India — Hybrid Department: People — Talent Acquisition
About the Role
You'll lead engineering hiring for Rubrik's India site — the distributed systems, cloud, security, data, and AI teams building Rubrik Security Cloud and Rubrik Agent Cloud. This is a senior individual-contributor seat: you'll own the hardest technical searches yourself and advise engineering VPs on leveling, team shape, and where in India to build. Every solid backend or AI engineer you approach already has three other conversations open, so the quality of your pitch and your judgment decides the outcome.
About the Team
Rubrik's Bengaluru engineering organization is among the company's largest and fastest-growing, shipping core platform and AI work rather than support functions. You'll partner with engineering leaders here and their counterparts in the US, and be looked to by the India Talent Acquisition team as the standard for technical recruiting.
What You'll Do
- Lead full life-cycle recruitment for Rubrik's most complex engineering searches in India — distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, security, data, and AI/ML — through to offer acceptance.
- Advise engineering Directors,VPs and above on hiring strategy, driving leveling calls, team composition, and location decisions with market evidence behind them.
- Design and run multi-channel sourcing strategies without direction, using competitive intelligence to reach engineers who aren't looking and aren't on a job board.
- Hold a credible technical conversation — enough depth to screen for real signal, calibrate a panel, and earn an engineer's respect in the first ten minutes.
- Make diverse pipelines structural: build them into intake, involve interview panels in sourcing, and evidence the outcome search by search.
- Lead a Talent Acquisition initiative beyond your own reqs — interviewer calibration, technical screen design, candidate experience, or reporting.
- Set the standar
