Senior Integration & Automation Engineer

About the role

The Senior Integration, API & Automation Engineer is a hands-on technical lead role responsible for shaping and executing Rubrik’s enterprise API, integration, and AI‑driven automation strategy.

Broadly, the role will focus on designing, building, and governing secure, scalable APIs and integrations between our core business platforms and third‑party systems (e.g., ERP, HCM, CRM, data platforms), while mentoring engineers and driving best practices across the organization. In addition, this role will help us embed AI capabilities (LLMs, Claude, decisioning services, intelligent workflows) into APIs and business processes to improve reliability, productivity, and insight.

You will work closely with senior business stakeholders, application owners, security, data, and IT teams to define API‑first, AI‑aware integration patterns and standards that deliver robust, secure, real‑time and batch integrations using REST APIs, webhooks, messaging, file‑based interfaces, and AI services.

This role will primarily leverage MuleSoft Anypoint Platform (or similar iPaaS) for API‑led connectivity and sits within the Enterprise Integrations & Intelligent Automations team as a key technical authority.

What you'll do

Own the API and integration architecture and strategy for assigned domains, defining API‑led patterns (Experience, Process, and System APIs), reference architectures, and standards for how systems integrate across the enterprise.

Design, build, and evolve RESTful APIs that expose well‑designed resources and operations to internal and external consumers, with clear contracts, documentation, and SLAs.

Lead implementation of integrations between SaaS and on‑prem applications (e.g., NetSuite, Workday, Salesforce, Snowflake, ServiceNow), Finance, HR, Security, and GTM platforms, ensuring solutions are scalable, secure, resilient, and observable.

Create data integration strategies for high volumes of data in transit, optimizing for performance, reliability, and cost (e.g., streaming vs. batch, push vs. pull APIs, caching, backoff strategies).

Define and enforce API governance, including:

Provide technical leadership to integration and API engineers, including solutioning, design reviews, code reviews, and mentoring of junior and contract engineers.

Implement and manage REST/SOAP APIs, webhooks, and messaging interfaces from conceptual design through development, performance testing, deployment, and lifecycle management via an API gateway or iPaaS (e.g., MuleSoft Anypoint Platform).

Architect robust data integrations for both real‑time and scheduled (batch) workloads using APIs, messaging, sFTP, and file‑based exchanges (JSON, XML, CSV), with well‑defined contracts, SLAs, and monitoring.

Define non‑functional requirements (NFRs) and SLAs for APIs and integrations—availability, latency, throughput, error budgets, RTO/RPO—and ensure designs and implementations meet or exceed them.

Drive observability and reliability for APIs and int
