Role summary

Cribl is seeking a Tax Manager to join its growing Tax team. This role will manage federal, state, local, and international income tax compliance, including extensions and estimated payments. You will also oversee the quarterly and annual global income tax provision under ASC 740, manage special projects like R&D tax credits, and support sales and use tax filings. The position involves filing business license, property, and gross receipt tax returns, leading tax month-end close processes, and managing tax IPO readiness initiatives and internal controls. A key aspect of this role is building AI-scalable tax processes and automations. The ideal candidate has a Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field, with 8+ years of corporate tax experience, strong technical knowledge of ASC 740 and US GAAP, and experience with international tax concepts and sales/use tax. A CPA license or JD/LLM in taxation is strongly preferred. This is a remote, full-time position.

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 expanding its Tax team to meet Cribl’s rapidly growing needs. In this role, you’ll be part of a high-performing, small but mighty Tax team that partners with the accounting team and provides excellent cross-functional support to the rest of the business (e.g. Legal, Finance, People Team, Engineering and Business Systems). Having a great sense of humor and customer-service-first mindset is imperative. At Cribl, we are irreverent but serious.
