Role Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced Cribl Engineer to serve as the principal technical authority for observability pipelines built on Cribl Stream and Cribl Edge. This role is designed for a senior technologist with deep expertise in log/telemetry routing, largescale data engineering, and enterprise-grade observability architectures.

You will shape pipeline strategy, design complex routing and transformation logic, drive platform reliability, mentor senior engineers, and serve as the top technical escalation point for Cribl-related challenges.

What You'll Do

• Lead architecture and design for Cribl Stream/Edge across multiple enclaves and data domains.
• Build high throughput pipelines (multiTB/day) with advanced routing, filtering, enrichment, and replay workflows.
• Optimize system performance, worker topology, CPU/memory distribution, queues, and transport mechanisms.
• Engineer secure data flows with masking, tokenization, RBAC, PKI/TLS, and other governance controls.
• Integrate pipelines with SIEM/analytics ecosystems (Splunk, Elastic, SaaS telemetry platforms, cloud services).
• Develop HA/DR patterns, reliability frameworks, fleet health metrics, and failure mode response processes.
• Maintain reusable Cribl packs, shared patterns, runbooks, and operational standards.
• Serve as the senior escalation point for Cribl issues; interface with vendor engineering as required.
• Mentor engineers, conduct design reviews, drive engineering excellence, and enforce architectural standards.
• Support cross functional teams (security, cloud, analytics, infrastructure) on logging and telemetry strategy.
