Why You'll Love This Role

Cribl is looking for a Staff Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to join our System Test team. This is a high-impact role for an experienced engineer who not only drives deep technical testing initiatives but also helps define and evolve our strategic approach to product quality.

As a Staff SDET, you'll dig deep into Cribl's distributed systems, customer usage patterns, and codebase to uncover gaps in test coverage, expand automated testing frameworks, and proactively identify risk areas before our customers ever see them. You'll partner closely with developers to identify complex edge cases, with customer-facing teams to analyze field issues, and with product and test leadership to build long-term roadmaps that strengthen our testing ecosystem.

This role requires both technical mastery and systems-level thinking-you'll not only solve problems, but also shape how we discover and prevent them


As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will...


* Lead technical and strategic initiatives that improve the depth and breadth of our testing coverage across Cribl's product suite
* Perform meta-analysis on customer-reported issues to identify systemic risks and patterns in product usage.
* Work with the development team as you inspect product code, understand intricate system behaviors, and telemetry data to identify high risk functionality and create strategies to test them.
* Partner with Customer Support, Sustained Engineering, and Product teams to do root cause analysis, reproduce issues, and strategize long-term quality improvements.
* Design and evolve the architecture of test frameworks, tooling, and data-driven analysis systems to meet our testing needs that scale with our growing product line.
* Define and drive multi-phase roadmaps that enhance our testing environment-balancing short-term improvements with long-term infrastructure and automation goals.
* Mentor other SDETs and engineers in advanced test design, system analysis, and debugging best practices.
* This position may require occasional stand-by or on-call duties outside of normal business hours, based on business need


If You've Got It - We Want It


* 8+ years of experience as a Software Engineer or SDET, with a Computer Science degree and/or equivalent technical experience.
* Proven expertise in analyzing complex systems, reading and understanding production code, and designing test strategies for distributed architectures.
* Hands-on experience with cloud and container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, etc.).
* Strong proficiency in at least one programming language (Python, Go, Java, or similar) and the ability to work across multiple languages or stacks.
* Experience creating and scaling test frameworks and automation systems that support both backend and frontend testing.
* Strong ana
