About Rubrik
Join the public powerhouse that is securing the future of AI.
Rubrik has officially entered a new era. Fresh off a headline-making successful IPO and boasting over $1.57 Billion in ARR, we have the market stability of a giant and the hunger of a startup. We’ve already conquered Data Security—now, we are pivoting to our most ambitious mission yet: Securing and Accelerating the World's AI Transformation.
About the Team & Role:
Our design team is strong and mighty, with about 60 amazing individuals from all walks of the industry and life located worldwide. As our company and our products grow rapidly, it is crucial to scale the experience of our product and our design team in the right way and with the right people. Every hire counts!
As Rubrik’s Palo Alto-based Director of Product Design, you will step into a pivotal role leading some of our key strategic investments and partnering with Engineering and Product leaders to empower a talented team—pioneering next-generation enterprise UX that cements design as our competitive differentiator and as a proud winner of the Red Dot and iF Design Awards.

What you'll do:
- Build & Lead High-Performing Teams: Recruit, mentor, and retain a world-class team of designers. You’ll be responsible for their career growth, providing coaching on both craft and navigational "soft" skills to help them scale their impact.
- Define Strategic Vision: Partner with VP and Director-level leadership in Product Management and Engineering to define the long-term roadmap. You’ll transform high-level business goals into actionable design strategies that balance immediate needs with a "North Star" vision.
- Champion Design Excellence: Ensure all team deliverables meet the highest standards of craft, usability, and visual consistency across the product.
- Drive Operational Excellence: Establish and refine design processes that allow the team to move fast without breaking the user experience. You will oversee the end-to-end execution of complex product areas, ensuring a high bar for quality and consistency.
- Evangelize Design Culture: Act as a primary advocate for Design across Rubrik. You’ll bridge the gap between technical complexity (cybersecurity, AI, infrastructure) and consumer-grade usability, ensuring that "Design" is seen as a business differentiator, not just a service.
- Deepen Customer-Centricity: Lead the team in cultivating direct customer relationships. You’ll ensure that research and validation are core components of the design cycle, keeping us grounded in real-world enterprise problems.
What you’ll bring to the team:
- Leadership Experience: At least 3 years in a formal people management role.
- Strategic Portfolio: A portfolio that showcases not just beautiful UI, but your ability to lead teams through complex problem-solving, organizational shifts, and successful product launches.
- Business Acumen: The ability to speak the language of PMs and Engineers. You understand how design decisions impact the bottom line and technical debt.
- Communication Mastery: Exceptional presentation and storytelling skills. You can command a room of executives and inspire a team of designers with equal ease.
- Educational Foundation: Bachelor's degree in Design (Product, HCI, etc.) or equivalent experience. A Master’s degree in HCI or an MBA is a great bonus for this level.
If you’re up for the amazing challenge of setting a consumer-grade bar for enterprise design, this could be the role for you. Please send us your resume and a link to your work to noopur.mer@rubrik.com.
