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.

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. Ready to do the best work of your career? Join the herd and unlock your opportunity.

This role focuses on leading Cribl’s FedRAMP certification efforts, a high-impact, high-autonomy position for someone who thrives in ambiguity and can drive progress with limited resources.

Requirements

• 7+ years in compliance, risk, and security.
• Deep experience in FedRAMP, NIST 800-53, or federal contracting.
• Proven success achieving FedRAMP certification and ongoing Continuous Monitoring, especially in a fast-paced startup.
• Clear communicator who can influence without authority and move work forward through ambiguity.
• Familiarity with modern SaaS environments (cloud-native, remote-first, fast-paced) and the compliance challenges they bring.
• Past experience standing up a compliance function from scratch.

Responsibilities

• Drive our FedRAMP Moderate ATO, coordinating across Security, Compliance, Product, Engineering, Legal Support, and external partners (3PAO, agency sponsors).
• Manage FedRAMP ConMon and related activities for ATO maintenance.
• Build and maintain FedRAMP-aligned documentation (SSP, policies, procedures, etc.), adapting enterprise-grade expectations to a fast-moving startup.
• Own the Compliance project plan—milestones, risks, dependencies, and communication—while course-correcting as needed.
• Translate control language into practical implementation guidance for engineering, operations, and other non-technical teams.
• Help define and operationalize controls efficiencies across NIST 800-53, FISMA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, and other compliance frameworks.
• Support customer-facing security conversations, audits, and questionnaires related to our federal offering.
