Sr Staff Software Engineer, Stream Contr - Remote Eligible

Senior Staff Engineer

Cribl does differently. What does that mean?

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.

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.
