Senior Software Engineer, Cloud (Americas Remote)

Our Grafana Cloud pipeline moves millions of data points, log lines and traces per second from our customer’s environments into a highly available, low-latency stack that processes and stores the data, and serves it to dashboards and alerting tools. We aim to grow this to hundreds of millions per second, and it’s critical that as we grow, we improve our performance, increase our reliability and do it all more efficiently.

Backend engineering roles at Grafana require engineers with a passion for performance, reliability, and who enjoy taking projects from conception to production.

Since we deploy production services, we have on-call rotations to ensure the health of the system. We dogfood our own services, so being on call is an important way to understand our system and how to use the products we create.

Our culture is one of remote-first, and our engineering organization is largely remote. We provide guidance and meet regularly using video calls, and we need people who can work independently and can communicate well.

We care deeply about open source and the projects generally are open source, check them out: https://github.com/grafana. We primarily use Go.
