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
- 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?
- You are a self starter, require minimal supervision and have a track record of learning quickly
- Ability to problem solve from first principles and maintain focus on overarching objectives
- Experience with data structures and algorithms
- Experience with agile processes and rapid iterative development
- Experience in developing distributed systems and working with data 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
- Experience in integrating with 3rd party APIs
- Familiar with AWS, Lambda and Cloud Infrastructure
- Experience building search, query and/or analytic systems working with structured and unstructured data
- Experience with frontend development is a bonus, as 5-10% of our work needs frontend contributions too
- No fear! Speak your mind
- Good jokes, or maybe better, bad jokes
- A love for goats
- Experience working remotely
- Experience with Typescript/JavaScript, NodeJS, and SQL
What the job involves
- 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 it is a game-changer for helping Cribl become the data engine for IT and security
- Cribl Inc is looking for a backend focused Mid-level Software Engineer to collaborate on a remote-first, diverse, inclusive, cross-functional team of software developers focused on expanding the integration of Cribl Search with 3rd party providers
- In this role, you will have the opportunity to continue to shape the future of Cribl Search by expanding development on 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 applications in a dynamic and collaborative environment
- Write clean, maintainable, and testable code with an eye towards observability and resilience
- Collaborate with peers and cross-functional team members as you contribute to meeting project goals and acceptance criteria
- Work to meet and refine the software development practices that make our team effective — everybody’s feedback helps shape our process
- Work on a mix of tech debt, bug fixes, and new features
- Participate in the entire software development lifecycle from requirements and design to testing, deployment, and production support/monitoring
- Share on-call and take part in team that embraces a model of service ownership
- This position will require stand-by, on-call, or off-hours duties
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.
