Senior Software Engineer, Stream Integrations

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 100s 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.
