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? That’s what Cribl Search enables, and it is a game-changer for helping Cribl become the data engine for IT and security.
Cribl is looking for a backend-focused Senior Software Engineer to collaborate on a remote-first, diverse, inclusive, cross-functional team of software developers focused on expanding the integration of Cribl Search with 3rd-party providers. In this role, you will have the opportunity to continue to shape the future of Cribl Search, by expanding development on a novel system that implements distributed and federated search across in-place data. This is an ideal role for anyone who is passionate about building high-performance applications in a dynamic and collaborative environment.
On top of it all, you will have fun! Cribl strives to be a great place to work for everyone.
