Sr. Software Engineer - Systems Insights

Join the company that’s building the telemetry infrastructure for the AI era. At Cribl, we partner with IT and Security teams at many of the world’s biggest enterprises, including half of the Fortune 100, to bridge the gap between AI ambition and infrastructure reality. As the AI Platform for Telemetry, we give customers the choice, control, and flexibility to manage and analyze telemetry for both humans and agents, so they can build what’s next.

We’re one of the fastest-growing private companies and a leading player in a massive, fast-moving market. With a global workforce, we’re remote-first and grounded in a simple idea: software is a people business. Cribl is the place where curious, collaborative people can do their best work, grow fast, and bring their full selves to the herd.

Cribl is building the next generation of customer-facing metric storage and query capabilities for observability data at massive scale. We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help design and build the metric store that will power how customers ingest, retain, query, and analyze their time-series data across Cribl products.

This role is ideal for someone who loves distributed systems, high-volume data platforms, query performance, and the practical realities of building reliable SaaS infrastructure. You will work on systems that handle high-cardinality telemetry, customer-facing APIs, storage schemas, query paths, ingestion pipelines, and the operational tooling needed to run them in production.

You will partner closely with Product, Design, Engineering, and Operations to shape a critical new product capability from early architecture through production hardening. The work will span backend services, data modeling, performance optimization, cloud infrastructure, and customer-facing product behavior. Your technical leadership will help define how Cribl customers store, explore, and act on their metrics for years to come.
