As a remote-first company we believe in empowering our employees to do their best work, wherever they are. As the data engine for IT and Security many of the biggest names in the most demanding industries trust Cribl to solve their most pressing data needs. Ready to do the best work of your career? Join the herd and unlock your opportunity. Why You'll Love This Role Platform Engineering at Cribl is responsible for creating and maintaining the foundational software infrastructure that supports our entire ecosystem of products. This includes scalable systems, shared services, developer tools, and core components that other product teams rely on to build customer-facing features quickly and reliably. As a Software Engineer I on the Core Platform team, you’ll join a group of engineers building the backend systems and APIs that ingest, process, and route massive volumes of observability and security data. This is an ideal role for someone early in their career (new grad or entry-level) who’s excited to learn, ship real features, and grow with mentorship from senior engineers. • You'll work on real distributed backend systems that handle high-volume metrics and telemetry data, not toy problems. • You'll have strong mentorship from senior and staff engineers, with clear expectations for learning and growth. • You'll get exposure to time-series databases, cloud platforms, and CI/CD pipelines, building a foundation in modern platform engineering. • You'll be part of a remote-first team that values curiosity, collaboration, clear communication, and of course… goats. As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will... • Learn and contribute to backend systems and APIs that ingest, process, and route data, implementing well-scoped features and bug fixes with guidance from more senior engineers. • Design, develop, test, and maintain clear, maintainable code in Node.js/TypeScript that delivers the right outcomes for our customers, starting with smaller, well-defined tasks and growing into more complex work over time. • Collaborate with a cross-functional team of engineers, designers, and product managers to understand requirements, ask clarifying questions, and turn feature specifications into implementable stories and code. • Write and extend automated tests (unit, integration, and functional) for the code you ship, following existing test plans and patterns and contributing to new test cases as you gain experience. • Participate in code reviews: both as an author and a reviewer-in-training—incorporating feedback to improve code quality, testing, and readability while learning from more experienced teammates. • Help investigate and fix bugs in collaboration with senior engineers, learning how to use logs, metrics, and other observability tools to understand and debug distributed systems. • Support performance and correctness work around time-series data storage and query paths by pairing with teammates and tackling well-bounded tasks that improve reliability and efficiency. • Develop good engineering habits: writing tests
