Recruitment Fraud Alert
We’ve learned that scammers are impersonating Commvault team members—including HR and leadership—via email or text. These bad actors may conduct fake interviews and ask for personal information, such as your social security number.
What to know:
- Commvault does not conduct interviews by email or text.
- We will never ask you to submit sensitive documents (including banking information, SSN, etc) before your first day.
- Commvault recruiters may contact prospective candidates through LinkedIn and other professional networking platforms regarding career opportunities. If you are unsure whether a recruiting communication is legitimate, review the profile to ensure they have a badge verifying them as a Commvault employee.

About the Team
The Automation team at Clumio (Commvault) works closely with the backend team to help build and validate a cloud-scale SaaS backup platform that helps enterprises meet their cloud data protection needs. For many customers, backup is not a “nice-to-have” — it is a mandatory foundation driven by compliance, audit, and security requirements, where recovery speed, cost efficiency, and the ability to handle large-scale data are critical differentiators in real-world environments.
Our systems protect and recover large volumes of cloud object data in a cloud-native way. Compared to native cloud backup solutions, we deliver up to 10× faster recovery times, roughly half the cost for S3 workloads, and the ability to reliably support significantly larger data scales. These outcomes come from deliberate engineering decisions across system architecture, data flows, and failure-handling strategies.
The platform is designed to gracefully handle and recover from failures through reprocessing and retries, while maintaining correctness and reliability at scale. The team operates a proven platform built on Amazon S3 and DynamoDB and is now expanding into multi-cloud data protection across GCP and Azure — an opportunity to apply and evolve our approach across diverse cloud ecosystems.
