• Experience integrating Rubrik with enterprise infrastructure, including virtualised environments.

• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to independently diagnose and resolve complex deployment issues.

• Previous experience delivering projects within a Professional Services, consultancy or MSP environment would be advantageous.

• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to explain complex technical matters in straightforward, non‑technical language.

• Ability to work independently, take ownership of technical delivery and engage confidently with senior stakeholders.

Role Details:

• Job Role: Rubrik Engineer /Professional Services Engineer

• Location: Predominantly remote, with occasional travel to Gaydon, Warwickshire (approximately once every two weeks)
