Join Grafana Labs, a remote-first company that embraces diversity and innovation.

• Participer activement à l'influence de la feuille de route de l'équipe et à la réalisation des objectifs de carrière.
• Concevoir, construire, exploiter et maintenir des systèmes critiques, en étant responsable de la fiabilité, des performances et de la disponibilité.
• Contribuer à la culture open-source de l'entreprise et à d'autres projets qui ne relèvent pas directement de l'équipe.
• You may not meet every requirement, and that’s okay. If this role excites you, we’d love you to raise your hand for what could be a truly career-defining opportunity
• Pragmatism: You are able to take on complex challenges and break them down to achieve short feedback loops: to analyze, design, and build modular solutions, deliver MVPs, gather data and feedback and then progress iteratively
• You are a motivated self starter with a bias towards action
• You are customer focused. We build everything with our users in mind. You have a passion for creating intuitive products that fit customers’ needs
• Collaboration and communication: The smallest unit we have is a team. You’ll be working with your teammates in a fully remote setup. Good communication skills are a must
• Solid experience with at least one programming language. We use Go, but if you have familiarity with Python, C, C++, Rust or similar then that translates well
• Experience writing clean, robust, and performant software that is easily maintained by others
• Some experience with delivering projects from gathering requirements, brainstorming ideas all the way to shipping a product to the customer’s hands in a self-driven way
• Some experience with developing software that runs in the Cloud or some experience with systems engineering
• Experience working with Kubernetes and/or Docker
• Been a user of Grafana and Prometheus in operational roles (including on-call for your team at a previous employer or just using these tools on hobby/homelab projects)
• Exposure to microservices architecture and distributed systems, and a desire to learn
• Familiarity with being on-call and performing operations/SRE tasks or with the concept of infrastructure as code
