Cribl does differently. 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.

Join the herd and unlock your opportunity. Why You'll Love This Role Are you someone who is excited about enabling customers to find, analyze, and visualize their operational data, no matter where it lives, regardless of format or storage medium? Do you enjoy query languages, optimization of performance and working on cutting edge technologies? 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 datastore? How about being able to do that from a single pane, regardless of heterogeneous storage / location / hosting / on-disk format?
