** Overview:
** We are looking for a Data Protection Solutions Engineer to join our team as we continue to transform and evolve our data resilience framework.  You will be joining a collaborative group of engineers who have already developed a heavily automated data protection capability; your goal will be to help us mature this ecosystem even further, moving toward a fully orchestrated, self-service model.  

In this "Build & Run" role, you will bridge the gap between advanced architecture and seamless execution.  You will collaborate across teams to evolve our hybrid data protection and storage capabilities leveraging CI/CD pipelines and API-driven workflows while remaining hands-on with the daily operational lifecycle.  Anchored in our established Rubrik Security Cloud ecosystem you will ensure our resilient systems scale reliably while maintaining high-performance standards for daily backup, recovery, and incident response.##
