About Commvault 

Commvault (NASDAQ: CVLT) is the gold standard in cyber resilience. The company empowers customers to uncover, take action, and rapidly recover from cyberattacks – keeping data safe and businesses resilient. The company’s unique AI-powered platform combines best-in-class data protection, exceptional data security, advanced data intelligence, and lightning-fast recovery across any workload or cloud at the lowest TCO. For over 25 years, more than 100,000 organizations and a vast partner ecosystem have relied on Commvault to reduce risks, improve governance, and do more with data. 

About the Team

The Clumio Data Protection team designs and operates cloud-native systems that protect and recover large volumes of enterprise cloud data. For many customers, backup is not a “nice-to-have” feature but a mandatory foundation driven by compliance, audit, and security requirements. In these environments, recovery speed, cost efficiency, and the ability to operate reliably at large data scales are critical differentiators.

The systems are designed to protect and recover cloud object data in a fully cloud-native manner. Compared to native cloud backup solutions, the platform delivers significantly faster recovery, lower cost for large-scale object storage workloads, and reliable support for substantially higher data volumes. These outcomes result from deliberate engineering decisions across system architecture, data flows, and failure-handling strategies.

The platform is built to gracefully handle disruptions through reprocessing and retries while maintaining correctness under real-world operational conditions at scale. The team operates a proven production platform supporting services such as Amazon S3 and DynamoDB and is expanding into multi-cloud data protection across GCP and Azure.

Role Overview

As a Senior Engineer on the Clumio Data Protection team, you own and deliver components and features within the cloud-native data protection systems, working under the technical direction of Principal and Senior Principal Engineers. This role focuses on building correct, reliable, and production-ready systems that protect and recover large-scale customer data.

You work on problems that are not always fully specified, translating high-level requirements into pragmatic implementations. This includes designing and implementing data protection workflows, operating and improving systems in production, and making trade-offs that balance performance, cost efficiency, and reliability. Over time, you take clear ownership of specific components or subsystems and drive feature development end-to-end.

Senior Engineers collaborate closely with Platform, Cloud Engineering, Quality Engineering, and Customer Success teams to ensure systems operate correctly under real-world conditions and customer usage patterns at scale. With guidance from senior technical leaders, you contribute to design discussions and grow toward broader system ownership.

Basic Qualifications

  • 4+ years of professional software engineering experience, including ownership of features or components from implementation through production operation.
  • Experience building and operating non-trivial production systems, including diagnosing issues and improving implementations based on real-world behavior.
  • Ability to translate loosely defined requirements into correct, maintainable technical solutions and make sound trade-offs under uncertainty.
  • Proficiency in at least one modern programming language (e.g., Go, Java, Python, C++, Rust).
  • Working knowledge of English.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience owning a component or subsystem within a larger backend or cloud-native platform.
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure, and common cloud-native design patterns.
  • Experience with data-intensive systems, object storage, or large-scale backend services.
  • Exposure to backup, disaster recovery, or data protection systems in production environments.

You’ll Love Working Here Because ...

  • Collaborate with amazing, driven, and supportive team members.
  • Enjoy continuous professional growth through product training, development programs, and clear career pathways.
  • Work on high-impact, large-scale cloud data protection systems used by global enterprises.
  • Thrive in an inclusive, open culture with opportunities to connect through our community groups.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
