Why You'll Love This Role
Cribl is investing in its Federal Systems Integrator ecosystem, and this role is its technical foundation. As the dedicated Partner Solutions Engineer for our Federal SI and consulting partners, you will make the market's leading integrators technically self-sufficient on the Cribl portfolio — and work alongside their architects to design Cribl into large Federal programs before they are awarded. You will build the reference architectures, enablement programs, and technical champion network that let partners position, demo, deploy, and support Cribl at program scale. Success in this role is measured in partner capability and programs won, not a personal sales quota.
As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will…
Serve as the dedicated technical advisor to Cribl ’s Federal Systems Integrator (SI) and consulting partners, from initial technical briefings through hands-on architecture workshops.
Partner with SI capture and solution-architecture teams to position Cribl within proposed program architectures during capture, proposal, and recompete phases
Build and maintain reusable reference architectures, quick-start guides, and solution kits for use cases such as SOC modernization and SIEM migration, Zero Trust data pipelines, compliance logging, cloud migration, and observability modernization.
Design and deliver recurring partner enablement programs—including training, bootcamps, whiteboarding sessions, and certification pathways—across the Cribl portfolio (Stream, Edge, Search, and Lake).
Deliver executive technical briefings to partner CTOs, chief architects, and practice leads, while developing technical champions within each strategic partner.
Provide post-award technical support to partner delivery teams through office hours, architecture reviews, and sizing and deployment guidance.
