Company mission

To make observability viable for any organization, giving their customers visibility and control while maximizing value from existing tools, with pricing that is accessible for all.

Role

Who you are

  • Bachelor's degree in CS/EE (MS Preferred) or comparable years of industry experience
  • Expertise in performance tuning of web applications with a deep understanding of profiling, network optimization, code optimization and environment optimization
  • Familiar with AWS, lambda and Cloud Infrastructure
  • Ability to problem solve from first principles and maintain focus on overarching objectives
  • Experience building search, query and/or analytic systems working with structured and unstructured data
  • Knowledge of cloud architecture principles
  • Experience with agile processes and rapid iterative development
  • Experience in developing distributed systems at scale
  • Experience working in a dynamic and highly-innovative environment
  • Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written; able to explain complex technical topics to both internal and external stakeholders with ease and in remote/distributed environments

  • A love for goats
  • Experience working remotely
  • Experience with Typescript/JavaScript and NodeJS

What the job involves

  • Cribl Inc is looking for a back-end focused Staff 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

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.
