Summary Generated by Built In

Cribl does differently. 

What does that mean? It means we are a serious company that doesn’t take itself too seriously; and we’re looking for people who love to get stuff done, and laugh a bit along the way. We’re growing rapidly - looking for collaborative, curious, and motivated team members who are passionate about putting customers first. As a remote-first company we believe in empowering our employees to do their best work, wherever they are. 

As the data engine for IT and Security many of the biggest names in the most demanding industries trust Cribl to solve their most pressing data needs. Ready to do the best work of your career? Join the herd and unlock your opportunity.

Why You'll Love This Role

Are you someone who is excited about enabling customers to find, analyze, and visualize their operational data, no matter where it lives, regardless of format or storage medium? Do you enjoy query languages, optimization of performance and working on cutting edge technologies?

Cribl Search flips observability on its head by distributing queries to where your data already lives and aggregating the results - no more expensive data replication, centralized aggregation, megaIOPS+petabyte storage, or kilocore+terabyte hosts required to see what’s going on in your deployed environments. Want to find specific events, trace an execution, identify a threat, or graph metric trends from (ex.) data stored in EBS volumes, Cribl Edge nodes, S3 buckets, Azure blob stores, containers, RDBMSes, data lakes, or even a custom datastore? How about being able to do that from a single pane, regardless of heterogeneous storage / location / hosting / on-disk format? That’s what Cribl Search enables, and we think it’s a game-changer for helping Cribl become the data engine for IT and security.

Cribl Inc is looking for a back-end focused Senior Engineer to collaborate on a remote-first, diverse, inclusive, cross-functional team of software developers focused on the Cribl Search’s Performance and Executor Infrastructure. In this role, you will have the opportunity to continue to shape the future of Cribl Search by architecting a novel distributed and federated search system for in-place data. This is an ideal role for anyone who is passionate about building high-performance web applications in a dynamic and collaborative environment.

On top of it all, you will have fun! Cribl strives to be a great place to work for everyone.
