Job Summary

Global Solutions Architect - Cloud

About the role
Rubrik Professional Services is hiring a Global Solutions Architect to serve as our most senior technical authority for public cloud. This is a global, individual-contributor role at Technical Director level. You will set the architectural direction for how Rubrik is designed, deployed, and operated in the world’s most demanding cloud environments, and you will carry that direction personally into our most strategic customer engagements.

You will be deployed where technical risk is highest: flagship accounts, first-of-a-kind architectures, and the engagements whose outcome sets the pattern everyone else follows. Between those engagements, you will convert what you learned into the reference architectures, service offerings, and enablement that raise the capability of every architect and consultant in the field. Your impact is measured by the quality of the practice you leave behind, not the hours you personally bill.
We are looking for depth in public cloud architecture first. Deep Rubrik product expertise is expected to be built on the job. If you have architected large-scale data, storage, or security platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and you can learn a new platform quickly and completely, we want to talk.

What you will do

  • Own the global cloud architecture standard for Rubrik Professional Services, reference architectures, design patterns, guardrails, and documented anti-patterns
  • Act as the final technical escalation point for cloud architecture decisions on strategic engagements worldwide
  • Define the technical shape of our cloud service offerings: what we sell, how it is scoped, and what good delivery looks like
  • Establish Rubrik PS’s position on emerging cloud capabilities and translate them into deployment guidance before customers ask
Lead the hardest engagements
  • Own architecture and design on the most complex, highest-visibility customer engagements globally, multi-region, multi-cloud, and multi-regulator estates
Serve as trusted advisor to customer CIO, CTO, Chief Architect, and CISO stakeholders, and defend design decisions in front of customer architecture review boards
  • Partner with Sales and Pre-Sales on strategic pursuits: technical validation, level of effort, and honest risk assessment on the deals we cannot afford to get wrong
  • Lead briefings and multi-day design workshops on site and remotely
Scale yourself through the practice
  • Build the intellectual property that multiplies your reach, reference architectures, deployment automation, design templates, decision trees, and delivery accelerators
  • Mentor and technically develop Solutions Architects and senior consultants across all theatres; raise the ceiling of the practice, not just your own output
  • Define technical competency standards and enablement for cloud within Professional Services, and help set the hiring bar through technical interviews
  • Represent Rubrik Professional Services externally at conferences, customer advisory boards, and in published technical material
Influence the product
  • Act as the field’s most credible voice into Product Management and Engineering, backed by evidence from our largest deployments
  • Shape roadmap priorities, supportability, and cloud-native feature direction
  • Partner with Support and Customer Success on systemic technical issues before they become patterns
  • Work with PS Operations and leadership to turn field learning into better scoping models, estimates, and delivery methodology
What you bring
  • 15+ years overall experience, including 8+ years as a handson cloud architect at enterprise scale
  • Demonstrated ownership of architecture for multi-region, multi-account or multi-subscription cloud estates, in a large enterprise or a consulting / professional services organization
  • Expert-level AWS and Azure; GCP strongly preferred. Genuine depth across compute, storage, networking, identity, and encryption / key management
  • Deep understanding of enterprise data protection and cyber resilience RTO and RPO modelling, immutability, backup and recovery design, isolated and air-gapped recovery
  • Working fluency in cloud security and compliance frameworks and how they constrain design in regulated industries
  • Strong automation background  infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Bicep), scripting (Python, PowerShell), API-first integration, and CI/CD (Strong Automation Background)
  • A track record of influence without authority across a global, matrixed organization and multiple time zones
  • Executive-grade communication  credible with a customer’s CIO and their principal engineer on the same day
  • Evidence of building reusable technical IP, not only delivering successful projects
  • The ability to learn a complex new platform to expert depth, quickly. Prior Rubrik experience is not required
  • Occasional travel
Nice to have
  • Kubernetes and containerized workload architecture; cloud-native and managed database platforms
  • SaaS data protection experience (Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and similar)
  • Prior Principal, Distinguished, or Technical Director title within a vendor professional services organization or a major systems integrator
  • Professional or expert-level certifications (AWS Solutions Architect – Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or equivalent)
  • An established public technical presence — talks, writing, open source, or community leadership
