Job Description
Cribl wants a Senior Engineering Manager who will head a team of SDET engineers that test software. The group is responsible for quality and reliability across every Cribl product. The job is hands-on leadership that builds quality in from the start, covering test strategy from design through release.
Cribl describes itself as an AI platform for telemetry that serves the IT and security departments of large enterprises. It describes a global, remote-first workforce and says it is among the quickest-growing private firms in its market.
The manager sets the quality strategy, shares metrics that guide the team's roadmap, and pushes forward test automation, CI reliability, defect prevention, analysis of root causes and a lower rate of escaped defects. The job also involves working alongside product and engineering leads, running failure analysis that connects customer deployment problems to testing gaps, and coaching test engineers who focus on agentic workflows. Off-hours availability, including stand-by or on-call shifts, may be part of the role.
The posting describes a company that puts customers first, so failure analysis in this role is meant to close the gap between internal testing and real customer deployments.

- Push improvements in test automation, CI reliability, defect prevention, analysis of root causes and the rate of escaped defects
- Streamline pipelines so they improve quality and speed, clearing blockers for humans and agents alike
- Run failure analysis that connects customer deployment issues back to testing gaps

- Coach and grow test engineers who are focused on agentic workflows
Requirements
- Hands-on experience setting test strategy and quality metrics for products deployed as SaaS and in customer-managed environments
- Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle and the changes agentic development brings
- Good command of how test architecture, continuous integration, observability, release practices and root-cause work fit together
- Familiarity with tests and workflows that were produced with AI assistance
- Degree in CS or EE, or equivalent hands-on experience, along with ten-plus years in the industry, four of them in technical leadership
