Role
Who you are
- 5+ years’ experience as a Software Engineer or SDET with a Computer Science degree and/or relevant experience
- Hands-on experience with cloud platform technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes, and AWS)
- Proven proficiency in coding in at least one language, preferably experience with more than one language
- Proficiency in designing test frameworks/suites and developing test automation, encompassing both frontend and backend, is important for excelling in this role
- Experience designing and developing tools and tests for complex customer use cases
- Experience cross collaborating with other teams such as Support, Sustained Engineering and Customer escalations for instance
- Understanding and/or experience working with data intensive applications and/or data streams processing
- Detail-oriented and dedicated to elegant and high-quality software; enjoys uncovering bugs
- 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
What the job involves
- Cribl is looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to join our System Test team. If you love solving complex problems and want to see your work directly improve the customer experience, this is the team for you.
- We take on the unique challenge of building simulated customer environments that mirror how our products are used in the real world to help find those issues you won’t find with typical automated testing.
- As a fast-growing, remote-first company, Cribl’s mission is to unlock the value of all observability data. Our solutions give organizations unprecedented visibility, intelligence, and control over their real-time data.
- Backed by Sequoia and CRV, Cribl’s products are trusted by some of the largest companies in the world, processing hundreds of terabytes to petabytes of IT and security data every day for Site Reliability Engineers, System Engineers, and Technical Operations teams
- Integrate with, improve, and build upon our continuous testing systems, testing automation, and reporting of quality metrics
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand how the product is used by customers in order to develop test strategies and help troubleshoot customer issues
- Work closely with development teams to ensure proper test planning and execution is incorporated as early as possible in our release cycles and maximizes testing coverage
- Be expert in identifying performance bottlenecks, spotting anomalous system behavior, and determining the root cause of issues
- Effectively communicate insights and plans to cross-functional team members and management
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.
