Role

Who you are

We're looking for an Engineering Manager who's as excited about analytical tooling and user experience as they are about building high-performing teams
7+ years of engineering experience, with at least 3 years managing a team focused on user-facing product development
Background in search, observability, analytics, or data visualization platforms
Experience leading senior/staff-level engineers who operate with high autonomy
Strong PM partnership skills -- comfortable co-creating roadmaps, translating product vision, and navigating ambiguity
Comfort with fast-paced environments where priorities shift and the team is central to the product's identity

What the job involves

The Search Discovery team owns the analytical and investigative surfaces of Cribl Search -- dashboards, notebooks, visualizations, AI-assisted investigations, and the discovery layer that helps customers get the most value out of their data
Our mission: make it effortless for customers to explore, visualize, investigate, and act on their data through powerful, intuitive analytical experiences
This team builds the capabilities that turn raw search results into insight: interactive dashboards, collaborative notebooks for deep analysis, rich visualizations and AI-powered investigation tools
They also own the performance and scalability of these surfaces at enterprise scale
Lead and grow a senior team of engineers building Cribl's dashboards, notebooks, visualizations, investigations, and analytical discovery capabilities
Partner closely with Product to translate vision into execution -- surfacing ideas, shaping direction, and communicating the "why" to your team with clarity and energy
Drive the team's delivery rhythm across dashboards, notebooks, visualizations, scheduled searches, AI-assisted workflows, and performance improvements that directly shape how customers interact with Cribl Search
Shape technical direction alongside staff+ engineers, ensuring architectural decisions balance speed, quality, and long-term scalability
Mentor and develop engineers at all levels, creating shared ownership and clarity across a technically deep, senior team
Act as a storyteller for the team -- connecting individual work to broader product vision and customer value

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.
