Sr Software Engineer, Edge Agent

Remote - United States

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

Cribl Edge is a vendor-neutral multi-platform agent that provides users with an intelligent and highly-scalable solution for edge-based data collection, serving hundreds of thousands of machines with diverse configurations. As a Senior Software Engineer on the Edge team, you will be a go-to engineer for Windows, building and improving the experience of running Cribl Edge across enterprise Windows environments — from data collection sources like Windows Event Logs, performance counters, and WMI, to installation, upgrades, and service lifecycle management. You'll also contribute to cross-platform features that run on Linux and macOS.

  • Develop automated tests and comprehensive test plans, including Windows-specific testing for service lifecycle, permissions, and platform edge cases
  • Help maintain and support our SaaS products including periodic participation in our 24x7 on-call rotations
  • This position will require stand-by, on-call, or off-hours duties

    • Proven ability to write clean, maintainable, and testable code.
    • Experience leveraging the latest AI tools to accelerate delivery of features without sacrificing quality
    • Excellent verbal and written communication, ability to clearly and concisely articulate complex technical topics to stakeholders
    • A steadfast commitment to ownership, ensuring that deliverables consistently meet high standards of quality and performance.
    • A relentless drive to turn ideas into real, high-quality software that makes a difference.
    • Professional experience developing software using TypeScript and Node.js, ideally with experience building Node.js applications that run as Windows services

    • Experience using assertion frameworks and tools to automate regression tests (e.g. Mocha)
    • Prior experience working on data intensive applications and/or data streams processing
