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
- Are you excited about enabling customers to find, refine, analyze, and leverage their operational data, no matter where it lives, regardless of format or storage medium?
- Have 4 or more years of progressive management experience hiring, leading, growing, and mentoring teams of high-performing front- and back-end engineers in a cloud-based or distributed systems environment
- Have demonstrable expertise in high-scale, distributed systems architecture, and have worked with high-volume (in both storage and throughput dimensions) data processing systems
- Have exposure to the observability space, whether as a user of observability technologies or building / extending observability tools
- Have direct experience building applications on a recent version of node.js – bonus points if you have personal experience with TypeScript!
- Be an excellent communicator in both written and verbal English
- Have a BS, Masters, or PhD CS/EE or similar, or equivalent practical experience; 8+ years of industry experience, including at least 4 years in a technical leadership role
What the job involves
- Cribl Inc is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and grow a new, remote-first, diverse, inclusive, cross-functional team of software developers focused on the Cribl Search product, as we execute on our mission to unlock the value of all observability data
- 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, Splunk, 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 heterogenous storage / location / hosting / on-disk format?
- That’s what Cribl Search enables, and we think it’s a game-changer for helping Cribl become the data engine for IT and security
- As an engineering manager, you will be leading and developing the Search Integrations backend team, with a team of strong software development engineers who are committed to shipping high-quality software that delights our customers
- This is a fully remote position reporting into the Cribl C021 organization, our internal incubator
- Your primary role is to build and grow a cross-functional team that can execute independently and maintain end-to-end ownership of a significant portion of the Cribl Search product stack
- Building, coaching, mentoring, and growing a cross-functional scrum team of exceptional engineers who excel at building scalable, extensible, maintainable, performant distributed data processing systems
- Setting and maintaining the bar for technical excellence in product development with focus on design, robustness, and quality of code. Maintaining consistency with Cribl’s existing role, leveling, and SDLC policies / processes
- Leading the team in the definition, design, testing, implementation, support, and maintenance of your portion of the Cribl Search stack
- Fostering a “customer first” mindset by aligning your team’s effort with customer delight
- Collaborating with other leaders to drive alignment between Search teams, and in cross-functional efforts involving the larger Cribl Engineering team
- Establishing a strong partnership with product management and product operations team members to refine, prioritize, and execute against the Search roadmap
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.
