About this role
Why You’ll Love This Role
We are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager to lead a remote-first, cross-functional team of Software Development Engineers in Test (SDETs) responsible for the quality and reliability of all Cribl products. This is a hands-on leadership role in ensuring that quality is built-in from the start of the software development lifecycle, implementing test strategy from design to release with agentic workflows. You’ll play a key role in driving engineering excellence, delivering high-quality products to our customers.
As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will…
- Own the quality strategy across Cribl products and communicate metrics for data-driven prioritization of the team’s roadmap
- Lead continuous improvement in test automation, CI stability, defect prevention, root-cause analysis, and escape-rate reduction.
- Continuously optimize end to end pipelines for both quality and velocity, removing bottlenecks for both people and agentic workflows
- Foster a "customer first" mindset by continuously running failure analysis to close the testing gap with customer deployments
- Establish a strong partnership with product management and engineering managers to ensure quality standards are implemented from the start
- Coach, mentor, and grow a remote-first team of exceptional test engineers focusing on agentic workflows
- This position may include stand-by, on-call, or off-hours duties
If You’ve Got It - We Want It
- Hands-on experience in establishing testing strategy and defining quality metrics for products that will be deployed in both SaaS as well as customer managed environments
- Thorough understanding of the SDLC and the changes required for agentic development
- Strong understanding of test architecture, automation, CI/CD, observability, release management, and root-cause analysis.
- Experience with AI-developed tests and workflows
- BS CS/EE or equivalent practical experience with 10+ years of industry experience, including 4+ years in a technical leadership role

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Cribl, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
