Job Summary

Youll lead engineering hiring for Rubriks 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: youll own the hardest technical searches yourself and advise engineering VPs on leveling, team shape, and where in India to build. Every strong 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

Rubriks Bengaluru engineering organization is among the companys largest and fastest-growing, shipping core platform and AI work rather than support functions.

- Design and run multi-channel sourcing strategies without direction, using competitive intelligence to reach engineers who arent looking and arent on a job board.

- 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 standard on tools and process for technical hiring, teach peers, and challenge what isnt working.

What Youll Bring

- 8+ years of full life-cycle recruiting, with substantial time hiring software engineers at product companies.

- Proven ability to close senior and hard-to-fill technical roles independently, across more than one engineering domain.

- Technical fluency - you can read a systems or ML profile accurately and discuss the work without a cheat sheet.

- Credibility with engineering VPs, evidenced by talent recommendations that changed a level, a profile, or an org decision.

- Command of competitive intelligence in the Indian engineering market: whos hiring, whos losing people, and what it takes to move them.

- Advanced command of an ATS and sourcing stack, at the level where peers come to you for guidance.

- Persuasive communication that closes candidates and reframes a hiring teams view of a profile.

Bonus Points

- Hiring for infrastructure, cybersecurity, or AI/ML platform teams.

- Scaling an engineering site or standing up a current team in India from a small base.

- Leading a cross-functional TA initiative with measurable results.
