- As a fully remote position reporting to the Engineering organization, your leadership will play a pivotal role in ensuring both technical excellence and team growth
- Your primary responsibilities will include providing mentorship, driving project execution, and removing obstacles that may hinder progress
- This is a hands-on leadership role, requiring deep collaboration with developers, participation in design and requirements discussions, and regular engagement with the latest builds

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 tool vendor to a fully-fledged observability suite. The company also boasts surpassing $100 million in annual recurring revenue, having grown this from $1 million in less than four years.
