What does that mean? It means we are a serious company that doesn't take itself too seriously; and we're looking for people who love to get stuff done, and laugh a bit along the way. We're growing rapidly - looking for collaborative, curious, and motivated team members who are passionate about putting customers first. As a remote-first company we believe in empowering our employees to do their best work, wherever they are. As the data engine for IT and Security many of the biggest names in the most demanding industries trust Cribl to solve their most pressing data needs.

Why You'll Love This Role Are you excited about enabling customers to find, analyze, and visualize their operational data, no matter where it lives, regardless of format or storage medium? Cribl Inc is looking for a front end focused Sr Staff Engineer to drive and mentor a remote-first, diverse, inclusive, cross-functional team of software developers focused on the Cribl Search's front end, 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, S3 buckets, Azure blob stores, containers, RDBMSes, data lakes, or even a custom datas tore? 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 we think it's a game-changer for helping Cribl become the data engine for IT and security. As a Sr Staff Engineer, you will work closely with a group of highly-skilled engineers to shape the future of our front end development. You will play a central role in designing and developing user interfaces and visualizations that are scalable, robust, and user-friendly. This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about building high-performance web applications and enjoys working in a dynamic, collaborative environment. On top of it all, you will have fun! Cribl strives to be a great place to work for everyone.
