What the job involves
- Cribl Stream unlocks the value of all machine data by giving users a new level of observability, intelligence, and control over real-time data
- We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help build scalable, reliable, and intuitive capabilities that enable customers to operate Cribl Stream with confidence and agility
- As a Senior Software Engineer on the Stream Control Plane team, you will work with a cross-functional group of engineers, product managers, and designers to deliver resilient, high-performing software at scale
- This role blends technical depth with hands-on execution and is ideal for someone who enjoys solving distributed systems challenges, building customer-facing platform capabilities, and improving reliability in production environments
- This is a fully remote role, and Cribl is a remote-first company
- Our culture embraces the diversity of team members across the globe
- Build software that powers the reliable and scalable operation of Cribl Stream, including deployment, configuration, and orchestration of distributed nodes at scale
- Partner with engineers, product managers, and designers to turn product requirements into practical technical designs and high-quality implementations
- Develop, test, and maintain robust code that delivers meaningful customer value
- Use AI-assisted tools and agentic workflows effectively in day-to-day engineering work, including development, debugging, testing, and operational efficiency
- Create automated tests and thoughtful test plans to ensure product quality, reliability, and maintainability
- Contribute to engineering best practices, operational excellence, and a strong customer-focused mindset

Our take
In a bid to simplify big data analytics, Cribl offers a data observability pipeline which allows users to reduce low value data, improve routing and gain more data context on one interface.
As companies now collect more and more data from frequently scattered sources, its useability and reliability comes into question. By offering an observability service, Cribl allows users to maintain the health of their data systems by monitoring, tracking and troubleshooting issues.
Cribl's main challenge will be competing with the likes of Observe and Edge Delta. However, Cribl has raised impressive funds that should accelerate its transition from a limited-function tool vendor to a fully fledged observability suite. The company also boasts surpassing $300 million in annual recurring revenue, having grown this from $1 million in less than four years.
