About the Opportunity
Our client, a leader in AI Logistics, is looking for a skilled Software Consultant to join their team for a 8 week project. This project involves working with stakeholders. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.
Key Responsibilities & Deliverables
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.
Deliverables:
? 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.
Overview
Our client is seeking a senior Software Consultant for a short-term, high-impact project focused on deep integration with Microsoft's developer and API ecosystem. This is a fast-moving, research-driven Proof of Concept (PoC) engagement designed to validate new technical capabilities related to Microsoft 365 data access, scale, and performance.
This is a "Version 0" project - the consultant will move quickly from initial architecture and whiteboarding to a working prototype in a matter of weeks. The outcome will inform potential future product investment.
Project & Technical Focus
The consultant will research and build a functional prototype leveraging Microsoft enterprise APIs to extract, analyze, and move large volumes of unstructured data from Microsoft 365 environments.
Key focus areas include:
• Microsoft Graph API: Data extraction and metadata analysis across SharePoint, Teams, Exchange, and OneDrive
• Scale & Performance: Handling high-volume unstructured data while navigating Microsoft API limits, throttling, and permissions
Deliverables
The consultant is expected to deliver the following by the end of the engagement:
• Functional Proof of Concept
A working codebase demonstrating large-scale data extraction, analysis, and transfer using Microsoft APIs.
• Performance & Scalability Report
Documentation outlining throughput, latency, bottlenecks, and API limitations encountered during testing.
• Technical Design Document
A concise architecture overview explaining design decisions, tradeoffs, and implementation approach.
• Executive Summary
A final presentation summarizing findings, risks, and recommendations for engineering leadership.
What You'll Do
• Rapidly translate high-level research goals into a functional prototype
• Deep dive into Microsoft documentation to identify optimal Graph API endpoints
• Identify performance bottlenecks related to throttling, quotas, and Entra ID (Azure AD) permissions
• Experiment, iterate, and pivot quickly when APIs or permissions behave unexpectedly
Who You Are
• Microsoft Ecosystem Expert: Deep, hands-on experience with Microsoft 365 services (Exchange, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive) and Microsoft Graph API
• Entra ID Savvy: Strong understanding of authentication, app registrations, permission models, and tenant-level constraints
• Problem Solver: Comfortable working through undocumented behavior, permission failures, and edge cases
• High-Velocity Engineer: Thrives in ambiguous, time-boxed projects where speed and clarity matter more than polish
Technical Requirements
• Languages: Proficiency in Go, Python, or C#/.NET
• APIs: Hands-on experience with Microsoft Graph API and related authentication flows
• Experience building backend prototypes or integrations that operate at scale
What Makes This Role Unique
• Short-term, high-impact engagement
• Heavy emphasis on exploration, validation, and technical truth
• Ideal for senior engineers or consultants with deep Microsoft API experience who enjoy fast-paced, exploratory work.
