Rubrik Software Engineer Winter Intern 2027 in Bangalore
Rubrik has opened a Software Engineer Winter Intern role in Bangalore, and it is a genuine engineering internship rather than a shadowing stint. It runs onsite from January to May 2027, and the eligibility is tight: 2027 graduates from circuital branches only, with a CGPA of 8 and above. This post walks through the role in Rubrik's own words, the eligibility line by line, the languages you need, and how to apply. It is all drawn from the official Rubrik listing on its careers site, with nothing added.
If you are also looking at Rubrik's CPD intern role in Pune, note this is the separate Bangalore opening. Same company, different requisition and city, so pick the one that matches where you can be based.
The role in Rubrik's words
Rubrik's framing of the internship is the interesting part. It says it gives engineers responsibility, not tasks, and runs a very fluid structure so people have the flexibility to work on projects they enjoy most. The stated goal is to build more capable engineers and keep everyone engaged.
For an intern, that translates into real ownership. The three responsibilities on the page are:
- 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.
Rubrik describes its interns as self-starters who are driven and can manage themselves. So this role rewards someone comfortable owning a piece of work end to end.
The eligibility bar, line by line
This is where most of the filtering happens, so read every line.
- A Bachelor's or Master's degree, or equivalent, in Computer Science or a related field.
- 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 Bangalore. There is no remote option.
The CGPA 8 line and the 2027-only line are the two that decide it. If either does not apply to you, this is not the listing to spend time on. Circuital branches usually covers Computer Science, Electronics and Communication, Electrical and related circuit-based streams.
The programming languages you need
Rubrik asks for proficiency in one or more general-purpose programming languages, and names Java, C, C++, Scala and Python. Only one is required, so put your strongest language forward. Solid fundamentals in that language, and the ability to design, test and debug in it, matter more here than a long list.
Where and when: Bangalore, January to May 2027
This is an onsite internship in Bangalore, running the winter term from January 2027 to May 2027, with no remote option on the table. So you would need to be able to relocate to or already be in Bangalore for those months. Plan around that before applying, because the listing is explicit that remote is not available.
About Rubrik, the company
Rubrik, listed as RBRK, calls itself the Security and AI Operations company, working across 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 running AI agents safely at scale. As an intern you would be building software that sits close to those security and data products.
A note on the winter term
This is a winter internship, so the term is fixed from January 2027 to May 2027 rather than the usual summer slot. For many 2027 graduates that window overlaps the final semester, so think through how it fits your college timetable and exams before you apply. Since it is onsite in Bangalore with no remote option, you would also need to be able to stay in the city for the full stretch.
The upside of a winter term is that it can flow straight into a full-time start after graduation, though the listing makes no promise of a pre-placement offer, so treat that as a possibility rather than a commitment. What Rubrik clearly signals is that it treats interns as real engineers: you get responsibility, not tasks, and the freedom to pick up work you enjoy.
What the listing leaves out
Some practical details are not on the page, and it is fairer to say so than to guess.
- No stipend figure. The listing prints no pay, so the salary reads as not disclosed by the company.
- No seat count and no selection process. Rubrik does not say how many interns it will take or how the rounds run.
- No closing date. With a January start, the safe move is to apply early.
How to apply for the Rubrik internship 2027
The application runs on Rubrik's own careers site. Confirm the three gating lines first: CGPA 8 or above, 2027 graduation from a circuital branch, and availability in Bangalore from January to May 2027. If those hold, apply with your strongest language and a project or two you can walk through.
