Job Description
<div class="content-intro"><p>Join the company that’s building the telemetry infrastructure for the AI era. At Cribl, we partner with IT and Security teams at many of the world’s biggest enterprises, including half of the Fortune 100, to bridge the gap between AI ambition and infrastructure reality. As the AI Platform for Telemetry, we give customers the choice, control, and flexibility to manage and analyze telemetry for both humans and agents, so they can build what’s next.</p>
<p>We’re one of the fastest‑growing private companies and a leading player in a massive, fast‑moving market. With a global workforce, we’re remote‑first and grounded in a simple idea: software is a people business.

<p><span style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Cribl Stream provides users a new level of observability, intelligence and control over their real-time data.
