Backend Software Engineer II @ Rubrik || CSE @ IIT Guwahati

About

I build distributed systems from the ground up and ship them. Over the last 3 years at Rubrik, I've worked across Product Engineering and Developer Platform — building customer-facing data protection systems safeguarding petabytes of data, and internal infrastructure that eliminated recurring outages and cut incident resolution times by 80%+. I take full ownership of what I build, from requirements to production, and I'm most energised when I'm close to the problem, moving fast, and seeing the direct impact of my decisions. On the product side, I've built distributed ingestion pipelines at scale, designed extensible frameworks adopted across multiple products, and shipped systems that generated millions in ARR within their first quarter of release. On the platform side, I've built AI-powered developer tooling — including an LLM-driven CI/CD automation system that removes the human from the incident resolution loop entirely. What I work with: Go, Python, C++, gRPC, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Kubernetes, Docker, GCP, AWS, LLMs, AI Agents, RAG

Work experience

Software Engineer II at Rubrik, May 2025 - Present · 1 yr 4 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Built customer-facing data protection products from 0 to 1, owning the full lifecycle from system design to production. Architected and shipped Google Drive Protection -- a horizontally scalable distributed system safeguarding petabytes of enterprise customer data, generating $6M+ ARR within its first quarter of release. Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts were subsequently built on the same platform. Engineered a high-throughput ingestion pipeline with file-type-aware strategies -- chunking and streaming for different file types -- combined with parallelism and batching for throughput at scale. Most recently, built end-to-end protection for Microsoft Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps) -- reverse engineering undocumented APIs and hidden rate limits, and rearchitecting the SaaSApps auth framework to support multiple auth flows per app, cutting new product integration time from 4 weeks to under 1 week.

Software Engineer at Rubrik, Jun 2023 - Apr 2025 · 1 yr 11 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Built internal infrastructure and developer tooling at scale, focused on reliability, velocity, and autonomous operations. Designed and implemented a custom Jenkins Load Balancer from scratch, horizontally scaling Rubrik's code commit infrastructure from 1 to 10 instances in two weeks -- sustaining 3x baseline load and 5x spike loads with zero downtime, eliminating recurring monthly outages and reducing build queue wait times by 3x. Built a fully automated, event-driven CI/CD failure recovery system using RabbitMQ pub/sub and LLM-powered AI agents -- autonomously detecting pipeline breakages, quarantining bad commits, diagnosing root causes, and applying targeted fixes. Reduced MTTR from 6 hours to 30 minutes with 95% diagnostic accuracy, removing the human from the loop entirely. Also automated hotfix and backport processes with a guardrail system preventing forward-port regressions, accounting for over 20% of all commits and reducing hotfix resolution time by 33%.

Software Engineer Intern at Rubrik, Inc., May 2022 - Aug 2022 · 4 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India, Built a Django-based microservice to autonomously detect and fix errors across multiple services. Developed SSH and Kubernetes connectors with synchronous and asynchronous execution strategies, and used S3-backed state transfer to ensure fault-tolerant resumption across machines.

Core Team Member at IITG.ai, Sep 2020 - Feb 2021 · 6 mos, North Guwahati, Assam, India, Working alongside like-minded people enthusiastic about the progress of AI, discussing research papers like History of Deep Learning, Gradient Descent techniques, Visualising CNNs, YOLO paper, etc. and implementing them. Also participating in AI hackathons and collaborating for projects to make advancements in the field of AI.

Senior Executive at E-Cell, IIT Guwahati, Apr 2020 - Jan 2021 · 10 mos, North Guwahati, India, Working with a community of innovators discussing upon ideas and products that can result in a solving the real world problems. Also contributing towards the club activities like organising webinars, creating amazing entrepreneurship content and helping campus startups grow by providing them assistance through administration and guiding them in any possible aspect.

Corporate Event Manager at Techniche, IIT Guwahati, Feb 2020 - Oct 2020 · 9 mos, This year the event was conducted online, so we had to shift the conduct of all case studies, startup and business plan pitches online. The role also involved contacting VCs and IIM professors to judge the competitions and of course bring participation and a smooth conduct of all events.

Executive at E-Cell, IIT Guwahati, Jan 2020 - Apr 2020 · 4 mos, Worked together with budding entrepreneurs of IITG and contributed towards club activities. Also represented the club in Productivence, organised by Technical Board IITG, and secured 1st position in the same by building a app that would connect college juniors with their seniors to help them take the right path in learning their desired skill.
