Why You’ll Love This Role

You’ll play a pivotal role in evolving Cribl Cloud, the engine that powers our suite of observability products. As a Staff Engineer, you occupy the vital space between deep-dive execution and broad technical leadership. You will own the architecture of complex sub-systems while remaining a "player-coach" who loves to ship code.

You’ll be the person the team looks to for solving the "hard problems", whether that’s optimizing a distributed system for massive scale or re-architecting a core service for better developer velocity. This isn't just about maintaining; it’s about building the future of how data flows through the cloud.

As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will…

• Design, build, and own highly scalable, cloud-native services using TypeScript, Node.js, and React.

• Lead the technical execution of large, cross-cutting initiatives from initial design through production delivery.

• Act as the technical glue between long-term strategic visions and the team’s daily execution to ensure architectural integrity.

• Raise the engineering bar through rigorous design reviews, deep-dive code reviews, and by advocating for observability and security at every level.

• Tackle unique scaling challenges by designing systems that handle massive data throughput with minimal latency.

• Mentor and grow the technical skills of the engineers around you, fostering a culture of curiosity and continuous improvement.

• Partner closely with Product, Infrastructure, and Engineering leadership to translate ambitious requirements into robust technical solutions.

• Identify technical risks early and proactively propose architectural shifts to maintain platform reliability.

• This position will require stand-by, on-call, or off-hours duties.

If You’ve Got It – We Want It

• Extensive experience building and operating production-grade full-stack applications using TypeScript, Node.js, and React.

• Deep understanding of asynchronous programming, the Node.js event loop, and React performance optimization at scale.

• Proven track record of leading complex, multi-month technical projects from ambiguity to successful deployment.

• Strong background in building and consuming scalable APIs and managing state across complex distributed systems.

• Deep familiarity with cloud-native development and modern container orchestration using AWS, Azure, or GCP.

• Ability to influence technical direction at the team and sub-system level, looking beyond individual features to the broader ecosystem.

• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical trade-offs to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• A hands-on, pragmatic mindset that balances long-term architectural health with the need to ship and iterate quickly.

• Comfort working in a fully remote, fast-paced environment with a high degree of autonomy.
