Global Solutions Architect

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

Set technical direction

• 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
