About Grafana

About the role

As our Cloud / Grafana-as-a-service business continues to grow, we've started to change Grafana's core architecture to be fully multi-tenant and scalable, as well as a solid platform for our opinionated Cloud apps. We're looking for someone with a lot of experience with SaaS platforms at scale. We are turning Grafana into a proper observability app platform where OSS and proprietary apps can directly tap into dashboards, alerts, incidents, and telemetry and deliver even more integrated experiences.

What they're looking for

  • Coding new features, enhancing the operational experience of the systems you develop, and iteratively improving them based on production insights
  • Authoring, contributing to and reviewing design documents
  • Taking an active role in shaping the roadmap
  • Mentoring and supporting other team members and collaborating with different teams across the organization
  • Owning the experience of our customers by participating in weekday 12h x 5d and a separate weekend 24h x 2d on-call rotations
  • You have strong coding skills and operational experience, you were responsible for operating the software you have built
