Rubrik Software Engineer CPD Winter Intern 2027 in Pune

Rubrik is hiring a Software Engineer Winter Intern for its Continuous Product Development team in Pune, and the eligibility here is strict, so it is worth reading before you get attached to it. This is an onsite winter internship running January to May 2027, open only to 2027 graduates from circuital branches with a CGPA of 8 and above. This post lays out what the CPD team does, the exact eligibility lines, the languages Rubrik names, and how to apply. Everything comes from the official Rubrik listing on its careers site, with nothing invented.

One thing to note on location. The listing tags the role Bangalore, but the job description itself says the CPD team is in Pune and that you must be available in Pune for the onsite internship. Take the description as the accurate one, so plan for Pune.

What the CPD internship is

CPD stands for Continuous Product Development. In Rubrik's words, CPD-SWE is the part of the engineering org that focuses on end-to-end ownership of established products. So rather than a corner of a big project, you would work close to a product that is already shipping.

Rubrik frames its intern culture plainly on the page: it gives engineers responsibility, not tasks, and runs a fluid structure so people can work on projects they enjoy. The stated aim is to keep engineers engaged and build more capable ones. For an intern, that means more ownership than a typical internship, and more expectation that you can manage yourself.

What you would do

The responsibilities on the page are short and engineering-focused.

• Design, develop, test, deploy, maintain and improve the software.
• Identify and solve bottlenecks within the software stack.
• Manage your own project priorities, deadlines and deliverables using your technical expertise.

Read the third point carefully. Rubrik expects interns to be self-starters who can manage themselves, so owning your own deadlines is part of the role, not an afterthought.

The hard eligibility lines to check

This is the part that decides whether you can apply at all. Rubrik lists firm minimum criteria, and all of them have to hold.

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree, preferably in Computer Science.
• CGPA of 8 and above.
• A 2027 graduate of a circuital branch only.
• Available from January 2027 to May 2027 for the onsite internship in Pune. There is no remote option.

Two lines rule people out fast. If your CGPA is below 8, or your graduation year is not 2027, this listing is not a fit, however strong the rest of your profile is. Circuital branches usually means streams like Computer Science, Electronics and Communication, Electrical and allied circuit-based branches, so a core mechanical or civil branch would not read onto it.

The languages Rubrik names

On skills, Rubrik keeps it open but specific. It asks for proficiency in one or more general-purpose object-oriented languages, and names Java, C, C++, Scala and Python. You need to be strong in at least one of them, not all five, so lead with the language you know best.

About Rubrik

Rubrik describes itself as the Security and AI Operations company, listed as RBRK, working at the intersection of data protection, cyber resilience and enterprise AI. Its Rubrik Security Cloud secures, monitors and recovers data, identities and workloads across clouds, and its Rubrik Agent Cloud focuses on deploying AI agents safely at scale. For an intern, that means the software you touch sits close to real security and data-protection products.

A note on the winter term and what it asks of you

This is a winter internship, which here means a fixed onsite term from January 2027 to May 2027 rather than the usual summer window. That timing lines up with the final semester for many 2027 graduates, so plan how it fits your college schedule before you commit. Because it is fully onsite in Pune with no remote option, you would need to be present in the city for those months.

Rubrik's own line for the role is direct: if you have a limitless drive and like to win, it wants to talk to you. Behind the slogan, the practical ask is that you can take a piece of software and own it end to end, which is exactly what the CPD team is built around.

What the listing does not say

A few practical fields are left open, and it is fairer to name them than to guess.

• No stipend figure. The page prints no pay, so the salary here reads as not disclosed by the company.
• No seat count. Rubrik does not say how many interns it will take.
• No selection process. The page names no test, round count or interview format.
• No closing date. With a January 2027 start, apply early rather than wait.

How to apply for the Rubrik internship 2027

The application runs on Rubrik's own careers site. Before you start, confirm the three lines that gate this role: your CGPA is 8 or above, you graduate in 2027 from a circuital branch, and you can be in Pune from January to May 2027. If all three hold, lead your application with your strongest language and a project you can talk through.
