- Cribl’s Stream unlocks the value of all machine data in ways that were previously not possible by providing users a new level of observability, intelligence and control over their real-time data
- We are looking for a Senior Staff Engineer to help build scalable, reliable, and intuitive features that empower our customers to operate Cribl Stream with confidence and agility
- Some may say Cribl’s greatest accomplishment thus far is having our software deployed in some of the largest organizations in the world processing up to petabytes of IT & Security data. Others may attribute that to our massive amount of goat gifs that we’ve harvested from the Internet. It’s difficult to know for sure
- As a Sr Staff Engineer at Cribl, you will help set the technical direction for the features and capabilities of the Stream Control Plane
- You would partner with a team of skilled engineers committed to shipping the highest quality software and ensuring our customers’ satisfaction
- Additionally, you will provide thought leadership to the team in order to continually improve our technologies, tools, and processes
- This role is equal parts research and development
- Rapidly develop subject matter expertise in key areas of ownership for the team (e.g. deployment, configuration, and orchestration of distributed nodes at high scale) to facilitate R&D of features and capabilities that power the reliable and scalable operation of Cribl Stream
- Provide technical and thought leadership to the products we deliver and internal engineering processes and operations
- Mentor and coach junior engineers on the team
- Contribute to the technical roadmap by partnering with PM and Eng leaders
- Introduce performance and efficiency improvements across our products and processes
- Champion teamwork, engineering best practices, and a customer focused mindset
- Take lead on feature development while balancing the responsibilities of high quality software development with those of evangelism and coaching of others on the team

- Develop expert level knowledge of software development using Node.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, Docker, and Git
- Ensure our features work as expected by creating robust test plans paired with comprehensive automated tests
- Collaborate with other engineers, product managers, UX designers, and business teams to translate feature specifications into implementable code
- Work closely with peers on your team by providing feedback on feature design and code reviews
- Engage our users by contributing to internal and external blogs related to the products that you help develop
- Help maintain and support our SaaS products including periodic participation in our 24x7 on-call rotations
- 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.
