Engineering Manager

Position Overview

Cribl is seeking an experienced Engineering Manager to lead a remote-first, diverse, and cross-functional team of engineers dedicated to our mission: unlocking the value of all machine data. Cribl empowers users with unprecedented observability, intelligence, and control over their real-time data. Our software is trusted by some of the largest organizations in the world, processing hundreds of terabytes to petabytes of IT and security data every day.

In this role, you will guide a talented team of engineers committed to delivering high-quality software on a consistent cadence. As a fully remote position reporting to the Engineering organization, your leadership will play a pivotal role in ensuring both technical excellence and team growth. Your primary responsibilities will include providing mentorship, driving project execution, and removing obstacles that may hinder progress. This is a hands-on leadership role, requiring deep collaboration with developers, participation in design and requirements discussions, and regular engagement with the latest builds. You’ll be expected to become an expert in your team’s products and services, offering technical insights and strategic direction.

Cribl does things differently. 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.

Why You'll Love This Role

Cribl Stream provides users a new level of observability, intelligence, and control over their real-time data. Some may say our greatest accomplishment thus far is having our software deployed in some of the largest organizations in the world processing hundreds of TB to PB 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.

If you're passionate about fostering innovation, empowering teams, and making a significant impact in the world of data observability, we’d love to hear from you. Ready to do the best work of your career? Join the herd and unlock your opportunity.
