Threat Protection Engineer

Join the company that’s building the telemetry infrastructure for the AI era. At Cribl, we partner with IT and Security teams at many of the world’s biggest enterprises, including half of the Fortune 100, to bridge the gap between AI ambition and infrastructure reality. As the AI Platform for Telemetry, we give customers the choice, control, and flexibility to manage and analyze telemetry for both humans and agents, so they can build what’s next.

We’re one of the fastest‑growing private companies and a leading player in a massive, fast‑moving market. With a global workforce, we’re remote‑first and grounded in a simple idea: software is a people business. Cribl is the place where curious, collaborative people can do their best work, grow fast, and bring their full selves to the herd.

Why You’ll Love This Role

We're looking for a staff-level investigator who operates at the intersection of insider threat, digital/hardware forensics, and executive protection. This is a hybrid role for someone who has led complex insider risk cases end-to-end, can walk into a forensic exam and brief executives in the same week, and is equally comfortable planning a principal's travel security as they are imaging a hard drive for a legal hold. You'll be the senior technical and investigative resource on a small, high-trust team, and you'll help mature our insider risk, forensics, and physical security programs.

As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will…**

Insider Threat & Investigations

• Lead insider risk investigations from initial detection through closure, including scoping, evidence collection, interviews, findings, and remediation recommendations
• Partner closely with HR, Legal, and Employee Relations to ensure investigations are conducted defensibly, confidentially, and in compliance with employment law and privacy requirements
• Build and mature insider risk program components: detection use cases, escalation criteria, case management workflows, and cross-functional playbooks
• Brief sensitive findings to senior stakeholders (Legal, HR, executive leadership) with appropriate discretion and documentation

Digital & Hardware Forensics

• Conduct forensic acquisition and analysis of laptops, mobile devices, removable media, and network artifacts in support of investigations
• Maintain chain of custody and produce forensically sound, litigation-ready documentation
• Perform hardware-level forensics (disk imaging, device teardown/analysis, embedded storage) in addition to standard digital forensics
• Apply and maintain relevant certifications (IACIS CFCE or equivalent; EnCE, GCFE, or similar strongly preferred)
