[See the record](https://realanalystjobs.com/companies/rubrik#h1b-record) ## About this role About the Role We are looking for a Senior Applied AI Engineer to join Rubrik's Applied AI team, building production-grade, full-stack applications and APIs for our internal Business teams while embedding AI-agentified capabilities into these internal platforms. This is a hands-on build role: you will own features end to end - from database schema through backend services and distributed systems to the user interface - and bring practical, hands-on experience building or integrating AI agents, tool-calling workflows, or LLM-powered features into production systems that our business stakeholders rely on. The ideal candidate combines strong full-stack engineering fundamentals with a systems mindset for reliability and scale, and has spent meaningful hands-on time (1 - 2 years) building AI-agentified applications - not just experimenting with AI tools, but shipping agentic features in production. We are targeting 8+ years of overall software engineering experience; this is flexible for candidates who demonstrate strong depth across full-stack, distributed systems, and applied AI during technical evaluation. Key Responsibilities • Own features end to end - database schema, backend services, APIs, and frontend (React/Next.js) user interface - operating as an owner rather than a ticket-taker. • Build full-stack web applications: responsive, production-grade frontends using React/Next.js, backed by well-designed REST APIs and backend services. • Design and build APIs and services that are consumed by applications, internal tools, and AI agents/LLMs, including tool-calling interfaces.. • Build and productionize AI-agentified features - agentic workflows, LLM-powered automation, and AI-assisted tooling - grounded in 1 - 2 years of hands-on experience with these systems. • Architect for distributed systems concerns: scalability, fault tolerance, data consistency, and service boundaries across backend and data layers. • Apply reliability engineering practices - observability (logging, metrics, tracing), SLAs/SLOs, incident response, and post-incident reviews - to keep production systems healthy. • Design and optimize relational database schemas, including joins, indexing, and query performance tuning. • Build clean, well-tested, production-grade frontend and backend code that others can read, test, and extend. • Clarify requirements upfront, surface blockers early, and communicate progress proactively without being asked. • Collaborate openly with internal Business stakeholders, Product, QA, DevOps, and UX or designer teams; avoid working in silos. Required Qualifications Education & Experience • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience. • 8+ years of hands-on software engineering experience across full-stack development (flexible based on demonstrated strength in technical evaluation). • 1 - 2 years of hands-on experience building, integrating, or operating AI-agentified applications (agentic workflows, tool-calling, RAG, or LLM-powered features) in production.. • Demonstrated experience owning systems designed for scale and reliability, not just feature delivery. Technical Skills - Applied AI • 1 - 2 years of hands-on experience building AI-agentified applications, including agent frameworks (e.g., LangChain, LangGraph, ADK, or equivalent), tool/function-calling for LLMs. • Practical understanding of AI-specific considerations: latency, cost, rate limiting, and safety/guardrails when exposing systems for AI consumption. • Experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code or similar). Technical Skills - Full Stack • Frontend: Strong JavaScript fundamentals; hands-on experience with React and Next.js for building modern, production-grade web applications (hooks, state management, component architecture, routing/SSR). • Backend: Proficient in Python, writing production-grade code; hands-on experience with FastAPI or Flask (or equivalent frameworks) for building REST APIs. • Database: Experience with relational and non-relational databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB or equivalent); solid understanding of schema design, joins, indexing, and query optimization. Technical Skills - Distributed Systems & Reliability • Working knowledge of distributed systems concepts: service decomposition, consistency models, caching, queuing/messaging, and failure handling. • Reliability engineering fundamentals: observability (logging, metrics, tracing), SLAs/SLOs, error budgets, and operational runbooks. • Ability to reason about system design trade-offs and build scalable, resilient solutions under ambiguity. Soft Skills • Proactive communication - shares updates without being asked and flags blockers early. • Asks the right questions - clarifies requirements upfront before jumping into implementation. • Ownership mindset - treats the project as their own rather than just completing tickets. • Transparency - speaks up when something is unclear instead of making assumptions. • Strong analytical mindset to break down complex or ambiguous problems. Preferred Qualifications • Experience with agentic frameworks (ADK, LangGraph, or similar) beyond individual projects - production deployment experience preferred. • Familiarity with API documentation standards (Swagger/OpenAPI). • Basic DevOps awareness (Docker, CI/CD) and Git/version-control best practices. • Testing experience across unit and integration levels. • Experience with modern web app tooling - component libraries (e.g., Tailwind, MUI) and state management (e.g., Redux, Zustand). • Exposure to cloud-native development (AWS, Azure, or GCP), including containers and infrastructure as code.
