The Project & Technical Focus

You will research and implement a technical prototype leveraging Microsoft's enterprise APIs to enhance Rubrik s data protection and recovery capabilities.

Key Technical Focus:

• Microsoft Graph API: Advanced data extraction and metadata analysis across M365 (SharePoint, Teams, Exchange, OneDrive).
• Scale & Performance: Optimizing for high-volume unstructured data transfer while navigating API limits.

Deliverables

To be successful in this contract, you must deliver:

1. Functional PoC: A working codebase demonstrating data extraction, analysis, and transfer for high volumes of unstructured data using Microsoft APIs.
2. Performance & Scalability Report: Detailed documentation on throughput results, latency, and the specific limitations/quotas of the APIs encountered during testing.
3. Technical Design Doc: A concise architecture document outlining the "how" and "why" behind your implementation.
4. Executive Summary: A final presentation/briefing of findings and recommendations for Rubrik Engineering Leadership.

What You ll Do

• Rapid Prototyping: Transition high-level research goals into a functional codebase that proves feasibility.
• API Deep-Diving: Navigate complex MSFT documentation to identify the most efficient endpoints for data movement and security telemetry.
• Bottleneck Identification: Proactively identify where Microsoft throttling or permission structures (Entra ID) will impact Rubrik s scale.

Who You Are

• The MSFT Expert: Deep, intuitive understanding of the Microsoft ecosystem (Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive). You know how Entra ID (Azure AD) affects Graph permissions and how to handle throttling at scale.
• The Problem Solver: You don t get stuck. If an API is undocumented or a permission fails, you find a workaround or "Plan B" immediately.
• The High-Velocity Thinker: You thrive in the "ambiguous middle" of a project where the destination is known, but the path is unpaved.

Technical Stack:

• Languages: Proficiency in Go, Python, or C#/.NET.
• APIs: Hands-on experience with Microsoft Graph API and associated authentication flows.
