  • Integration: Build robust integrations with Splunk, Elasticsearch, Kafka, S3, Prometheus, VictoriaMetrics, InfluxDB, and other TSDBs.
  • Scalability & Performance Tuning: Ensure Cribl and streaming pipelines perform reliably at scale, handling high-cardinality and high-throughput datasets.
  • Best Practices & Governance: Define and enforce observability ingestion best practices, schema governance, and data quality standards.
  • Leadership & Mentorship: Guide engineers in pipeline design, streaming technologies, and observability best practices.
  • Innovation: Explore emerging technologies in observability, streaming, and AI-driven analytics to continuously improve architecture.

Qualifications

  • Experience in leveraging or critically thinking about how to integrate AI into work processes, decision-making, or problem-solving. This may include using AI-powered tools, automating workflows, analyzing AI-driven insights, or exploring AI's potential impact on the function or industry.
  • 10+ years of software/data engineering experience, with at least 5+ years hands-on in Cribl (Stream/Edge).
  • Strong background in ETL pipelines, real-time streaming, and distributed data processing.
  • Hands-on expertise with Apache Spark (Structured Streaming), Apache Flink, and Kafka Streaming.
  • Deep understanding of observability data (logs, metrics, traces) and platforms such as Splunk, Elastic, Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry.
  • Experience with Time Series Databases (TSDBs) such as VictoriaMetrics, InfluxDB, TimescaleDB, or ClickHouse.
  • Proficiency in scripting/programming (Python, Go, or Java) for pipeline extensions and automation.
  • Strong knowledge of Kafka, S3, cloud-native services (AWS/GCP/Azure) for data transport and storage.
  • Experience with scalability, performance tuning, and cost optimization in observability pipelines.
  • Strong collaboration and leadership skills to influence cross-functional teams.
