Why Youll Love This Role Are you excited about enabling customers to find, analyze, and visualize their operational data, no matter where it lives, regardless of format or storage medium? Cribl Inc is looking for a front end focused Sr Staff Engineer to drive and mentor a remote-first, diverse, inclusive, cross-functional team of software developers focused on the Cribl Searchs front end, as we execute on our mission to unlock the value of all observability data.
