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.
