Staff AI Platform Engineer

About

We are seeking a talented and experienced Staff AI Platform Engineer to help build Cribl’s new Corporate AI Systems team. In this pivotal role, you will design, deploy, and operate the governed AI platform that enables secure, scalable AI across Cribl’s internal systems and workflows. This is a foundational role on a newly established team created to provide the shared infrastructure, security guardrails, and reusable patterns needed to turn AI from fragmented experimentation into a durable company capability. You will be instrumental in standing up the shared AI infrastructure layer that powers high-impact use cases across GTM, Prod-Eng and G&A functions. The team’s mandate is to provide the “paved road” for AI at Cribl: secure access, governed integrations, reusable workflows, and a platform that enables teams to move faster without creating security, compliance, or operational risk.

This role will report to the Sr. Director, Enterprise Applications and will partner closely with stakeholders across Enterprise Applications Engineering, Security, IT, and the business teams adopting AI to build the core platform that every subsequent AI initiative runs on. As the Staff AI Platform Engineer, you will be the foundational builder of Cribl’s shared corporate AI platform.

Responsibilities

Your key responsibilities will include:

AI Platform Architecture & Operations

• Define and own the architecture for Cribl’s internal AI platform, LLM deployments, MCP gateway design, orchestration patterns, and the shared services required to run AI use cases safely at scale

Secure Access, Identity & Token Governance

• Establish the identity and access model for AI systems, including distinct non-human identities, scoped credentials, audit logging, cost controls, and token governance infrastructure that supports least-privilege access

Sandboxed Enablement & the Paved Road

• Build safe, reusable sandbox environments and self-service patterns that allow business and technical teams to experiment with AI inside a governed framework rather than through ad hoc or unapproved tooling

Enterprise Integration Architecture

• Design the connective tissue between AI tooling and Cribl’s enterprise systems, helping define secure patterns for integrating with platforms such as Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, Jira, Confluence, Slack, Google Drive, Glean, and other business-critical tools

AI Security Partnership

• Work hand in hand with the AI Security team to ensure secrets management, MCP governance, prompt-injection defenses, AI telemetry, and compliance-ready controls are built into the platform from day one rather than bolted on later

Engineering Enablement

• Stand up the platform capabilities needed for AI-accelerated development, including AI coding infrastructure and guardrails, DevOps pipeline integration, and secure workflows that help builders move faster without compromising quality or security

Platform Reliability, Adoption & Operating Effectiveness

• Define and track the metrics that matter most for a shared AI platform, including platform availability, reliability, usage, adoption, guardrail effectiveness, cost efficiency, and time to enable new use cases
• Partner with adjacent stakeholders to support measurement of the business impact as the platform scales across the company

Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance: Our comprehensive benefit plans have you and your family covered when it comes to the important stuff. Beyond the basics, we also have supplemental plans like accident insurance, One Medical, and FSA/HSA accounts.
• Disability and income protection: When you need it most, Cribl’s disability and income protection benefits have your back, with up to 4 weeks of paid medical leave. We also cover basic life insurance with options to increase your coverage.

• Family planning: Regardless of what your family unit looks like at home, Cribl supports your journey by offering family-forming benefits from adoption, to fertility, and through postpartum. We also offer a paid gender-neutral parental leave benefit to support you and your family.
• Time off: We offer generous, flexible time off for all employees and empower you to balance your work and life in the ways that suit you best. Twice a year we all log off together for a “Recharge Day”, and in December we enjoy a company-wide winter break.
• Remote office perks: All new employees receive a one-time $1,000 stipend towards their home-office set up. We also offer a monthly reimbursement for phone, internet, coworking pass, or a weekly meal.
