## Job description

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.

As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will…

- Manage federal, state, and international income tax compliance, including tax return extensions, estimated payments, and income tax return filings.
- Manage the quarterly and annual global income tax provision under ASC 740, including current and deferred taxes, valuation allowances, uncertain tax positions, effective tax-rate reconciliation, journal entries and tax footnote disclosures.
- Manage recurring and special tax projects involving R&D tax credits, IRC Section 382 limitations, stock-based compensation, state income tax nexus, tax purchase price accounting and other material corporate income tax matters.
- Lead income tax month-end close processes, including accurately preparing and reviewing tax journal entries, tax general ledger account reconciliations, and meeting tax close deadlines.
- Manage tax pre-IPO initiatives and internal controls for a rapidly growing company to ensure public-company reporting readiness.
- Build AI-enabled automation across tax compliance and tax reporting workflows.
- We are a remote-first company and work happens across many time-zones – you may be required to occasionally perform duties outside your standard working hours (if on call is not required)

If You’ve Got It - We Want It

- Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, business administration or a related field; an active CPA license, JD or LLM in Taxation strongly preferred.
- At least seven years of relevant corporate tax experience, including working at a public accounting firm and/or an in-house tax role in a high-growth business.
- Strong technical knowledge of ASC 740, US GAAP tax accounting and financial-statement tax disclosures, with experience leading quarterly and annual tax provisions.
- Strong technical knowledge of US federal income tax and experience overseeing multi-state and international income tax compliance.
- Knowledge of international income tax concepts (e.g. GILTI/NCTI, FDII/FDDEI, Subpart F, and Pillar Two)
- Experience using a tax software package to prepare income tax returns and tax provisions (e.g. OneSource)
- Adept at using tax research software tools and monitoring global tax law developments
- A self-driven, positive attitude, thirst for learning, ability to adapt to rapidly changing priorities and solve problems.
- Experience building AI-enabled automation across tax compliance and reporting is strongly preferred.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
