Description

• This is a remote position. We are looking for candidates in Sweden or Spain. • We are the developers of Tempo, an open source distributed tracing backend that is user-friendly, scalable, and a key component of Grafana Enterprise Traces (GET). • Tempo allows users to easily search for traces, create metrics from spans, and connect tracing data with logs and metrics. • Our team, focused on back-end development, collaborates closely with customers and the Grafana Cloud teams to provide Tempo for on-premises use and at scale in the cloud. • In our expansive domain, some of the projects we have undertaken include: • Creating and operating distributed systems to efficiently handle tracing ingestion and queries. • Developing TraceQL, a query language specifically designed for selecting traces in Tempo, inspired by PromQL and LogQL. • Building and improving the metrics-generator, a Tempo component that generates metrics from ingested traces. • Tempo is relied upon by prominent global organizations for monitoring critical applications and infrastructure. • We value creativity and diverse perspectives, encouraging each team member to contribute ideas that enhance our product as a reliable tool. • We are a remote-first organization and meet regularly using video calls and communicate asynchronously through documents. • An independent attitude and good communication skills are a must.

Requirements

• 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. • 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 writing clean, robust, and performant software that is easily maintained by others.
