Summary
Rajath Subramanyam is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building scalable distributed systems and enterprise-grade data protection. Based in San Francisco, he leads teams at Rubrik developing Kubernetes-native backup and restore platforms that span on-prem, cloud, and hybrid environments and support a wide range of distributions and CSI-backed volumes. Earlier as an early engineer and tech lead at Datos IO he architected incremental backup and streaming restore systems for Cassandra that materially cut backup transfer times and RTOs at scale. His background blends systems research from UIUC with production experience at IBM and Akamai, giving him deep expertise in storage, NoSQL, and high-throughput data pipelines. He’s a pragmatic problem-solver who prefers designing robust, scalable primitives over flashy features, and has a consistent track record of turning research ideas into production systems.
