Description

• Grafana Cloud moves millions of metrics, log lines, and traces per second from our customers' environments into a highly available, low-latency stack that processes and stores these data, and serves them to dashboards and alerting tools. • The Internal Engineering Platform delivered by the Platform department provides application engineers with the tools, systems and Kubernetes clusters they need to build, deploy and run their workloads. • Because we deploy production services, we have on-call rotations to ensure the health of the system. Everyone at Grafana Labs tries to incorporate and use our product line up into their day-to-day, so being on call is an important way to understand our system and how people use our products. • We are hiring for the Platform Productivity squad. The squad is mostly responsible for helping our internal engineers release their software onto our infrastructure, in secure and measurable ways. • At the end of the day, we’re the Platform Team for the teams that are building some of the most cherished observability tools-- from Grafana, Mimir and Loki, to Tempo.

Requirements

• You enjoy working with engineers, as well as with the management structures that are there to support you and enable you and your team to do your very best. • You are comfortable working in a remote-first company; communication is key. For us, working together means being collaborative, friendly, kind, and respectful. We operate by consensus, you can contribute to a discussion but then commit to the team decision. • You are eager to learn and grow. There is a lot of room for growth and development, and the team has quite a lot of knowledge to share for those who are wanting to learn. • You approach development holistically. The team owns the full life cycle of our code; from writing design docs, looking at developer feedback, testing and deployment, all the way through to decommissioning. We appreciate engineers who enjoy looking at the big picture, and also notice the details of the brush strokes. • You’re a flexible software engineer. In a typical day, we might spend time responding to incidents, integrating existing systems, or designing and implementing our own systems. While our primary language is Go, we value flexibility and we’ll choose the best tool for the job, even if that is a shell script. • You have experience with operating your code. Since a lot of operators and developers use our software, having some grounding in both of these spaces really helps us with building better platforms for our users. Kubernetes and Docker are what we use, mostly. We also work with a lot of Infrastructure as Code, so be sure to check out grafana/tanka.
