Storage & Backup Engineer - Rubrik SME

Salary: £? - ? per year

Requirements:

• Deep, hands-on Rubrik experience, with specific examples of what we have designed, built and configured

Responsibilities:

• Take Rubrik engineering ownership across design, deployment and configuration to vendor best practice
• Design and implement the immutability and retention-lock approach
• Design the archive strategy and see it through to implementation
• Review the existing deployment against best practice, identify what needs putting right, and put it right
• Extend Rubrik into further parts of the estate
• Design SLA Domains, retention policy, replication and cluster capacity planning
• Act as the senior Rubrik technical point for an offshore run team and for colleagues across the technology function
• Contribute to the wider backup and storage estate, including NetWorker, Data Domain and connected storage platforms, alongside the Rubrik work

We are working on a day rate contract for a Storage & Backup Engineer focused on Rubrik design and deployment. This is an inside IR35 role with an initial term to the end of March, based in London on a fixed hybrid pattern of four days on site and one day from home. The role sits within a large financial services environment where Rubrik has already been deployed, but the engineering work is not yet complete. We are looking for someone to finish the platform to best practice, review and improve the existing implementation, and support the offshore run team while a permanent hire is recruited alongside the contract. The process includes two interview stages, held either on Teams or face to face.
