Job description

B2B SAAS data observability software.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

Cribl is hiring a Facility Security Officer to build and manage our industrial security program as our federal business grows.

You will partner with Legal, People Operations, Contracts, Public Sector Sales, IT, Workplace, and Security & Compliance.

As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will…

• Manage FCL sponsorship and maintenance in NISS, including SF-328, KMP designations, changed conditions, and FOCI reporting.

• Partner with Workplace and Facilities on access control, visitor management, secure‑area requirements, and other facility controls applicable to cleared work.
• Establish and maintain security policies, procedures, records, and training programs.
