Staff Analytics Engineer

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.

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. Cribl is the place where curious, collaborative people can do their best work, grow fast, and bring their full selves to the herd.

Why You’ll Love This Role

As part of the Data team at Cribl, you will own the evolution of our analytics engineering platform, ensuring our data models are trusted, scalable, and AI-ready.

Analytics Engineering transforms raw data into governed, business-ready models that power analytics, executive reporting, and AI-enabled decision making. As Cribl continues to scale, this role will establish the architecture, standards, and technical practices that enable consistent, trusted analytics across Product, Engineering, Customer, Marketing, GTM, and Finance.

You will serve as a technical leader for analytics engineering, partnering closely with analysts, data engineers, governance, and business stakeholders to improve the quality, consistency, and reliability of our warehouse. While analysts own business logic within their domains, you will own the technical architecture, modeling standards, and engineering practices that allow our analytics platform to scale.

If you enjoy building systems that enable others, care deeply about data quality and developer experience, and want to shape the future of analytics at Cribl, we'd love to talk to you.
