Software Engineer - Watchers

About the Team

Watchers is a core platform team that develops monitoring tools, such as reports, dashboards, and event streams, that help our customers sleep well at night. Our infrastructure processes billions of data points, tackling significant performance and system-level challenges in collaboration with most of our modern Cloud product teams. If you are an admin responsible for backups, you probably want to know if your backups are running as configured and to be notified if something breaks. That's where our products come in. Without us, Rubrik would be a black box.
