Federal Compliance Manager

Why You’ll Love This Role

Cribl is building a world-class federal cloud offering, and we are seeking a Federal Compliance Manager to play a critical role in achieving and sustaining a FedRAMP Moderate Authorization to Operate (ATO).

In this role, you will own the day-to-day execution of federal compliance for Cribl’s government cloud offering, partnering closely with Security, Engineering, Legal, Product, and external assessors. You will help translate regulatory requirements into practical, auditable controls while enabling teams to move quickly and safely.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in complex environments, enjoys working cross-functionally, and wants to directly shape how a high-growth SaaS company operates in the federal market.

• You will have real ownership of a FedRAMP program, not just advisory influence
• You will work directly with engineering, security, and auditors to build systems that pass audits and scale
• You’ll help shape how Cribl operates in the federal space from early maturity through continuous monitoring
• You’ll join a company that values curiosity, accountability, and getting things done without unnecessary bureaucracy

As An Active Member Of Our Team, You Will…

• Support Cribl’s FedRAMP Moderate ATO by coordinating audit readiness, assessments, and ongoing compliance activities
• Own and maintain core FedRAMP artifacts, including the System Security Plan (SSP), Rules of Behavior (RoB), and supporting documentation
• Manage POA&M intake, prioritization, tracking, and remediation coordination across engineering and security teams
• Lead preparation for and execution of annual assessments, monthly scans, and continuous monitoring requirements
• Translate NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 control requirements into actionable procedures and evidence expectations
• Partner with Security Engineering, SRE, Product, Legal, and People teams to ensure compliance is embedded into operational processes
• Evaluate control effectiveness and drive improvements to reduce audit risk and operational friction
• Analyze audit findings and assessment results, providing clear guidance and follow-through
• Monitor regulatory and FedRAMP guidance updates and assess impact to the system
• Prepare compliance reporting for internal leadership and external stakeholders
• 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 You’ve Got It - We Want It

• 7+ years of experience in IT security audit, compliance, or federal regulatory programs
• Direct experience supporting a Cloud Service Provider (CSP) through FedRAMP ATO and into continuous monitoring
• Strong working knowledge of NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, RMF, FISMA, and FedRAMP requirements
• Experience with DoD impact levels (IL4 / IL5 / IL6) is a plus
• Ability to work effectively with highly technical engineering teams and translate compliance requirements into practical implementation
• Proven program or project management experience across large, cross-functional initiatives
• Comfortable working with external auditors, assessors, and regulators
• Excellent written communication skills, especially for formal compliance documentation

Salary Range ($128,000 - $200,000)

The salary for this role is dependent on geographic location. The salary offered within the range described will be based on the individual candidate’s job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. In addition to a competitive salary, Cribl also offers a generous benefits package which includes health, dental, vision, short-term disability, and life insurance, paid holidays and paid time off, a fertility treatment benefit, 401(k), equity, and eligibility for a discretionary company-wide bonus.
