Description

  • Design, build, and operate reconciliation systems that track desired stack state and detect and repair configuration drift.
  • Collaborate across SSS, grafana.com, deployment configurations, and adjacent teams to keep stack lifecycle workflows reliable and resilient.
  • Improve operational efficiency by simplifying deployment and rollout processes for stack services.
  • Manage rollout mechanisms for plugins, dashboards, data sources, Grafana versions, release channels, and stack-level configuration.
  • Support new region and cluster rollouts and the operational paths required to bring stacks online safely.
  • Improve incident response and recovery for stack misalignment, reconciliation failures, rollout issues, and integration failures.
  • Partner with Product, Hosted Grafana, Infrastructure, Support, and other AppCore squads on customer-impacting lifecycle work.
  • Contribute to roadmap planning, technical design, on-call improvements, and long-term simplification of stack operations.
  • Own the production behavior of the systems you build by improving runbooks, dashboards, alerts, safety controls, and recovery procedures.
  • Write efficient, readable, maintainable code and implement new microservices or systems as needed.

Requirements

  • At least 1 year of fully remote work experience.
  • Professional experience with Golang.
  • Experience working on a SaaS platform.
  • Familiarity with distributed systems concepts such as scalability, multi-tenancy, and high availability.
  • Ability to work across both backend service and application code.
  • Strong focus on developer experience, user experience, and product quality.
  • Experience contributing to projects from initial brainstorming through delivery.
  • Ability to write clean, well-tested software that is easy for other engineers to operate and maintain.
  • Experience breaking down well-defined tasks into iterative deliveries and gathering feedback.
  • Willingness to collaborate across teams and align work with other squads and external stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with Kubernetes in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Exposure to infrastructure-as-code tools such as Helm, Terraform, or Jsonnet.
  • Experience participating in blameless incident response and post-incident reviews.
  • Experience with TypeScript/Node.js is a plus.
  • Experience with Kubernetes control-plane patterns, operators, reconcilers, or desired-state systems is a plus.
  • Experience with Jsonnet/Tanka, Terraform, Flux, Argo, or similar deployment/configuration tooling is a plus.
  • Experience with SaaS provisioning, tenancy, regional expansion, plugin rollout, or customer lifecycle systems is a plus.
  • Experience with incident response involving configuration drift, partial failure, or cross-service state mismatch is a plus.

Benefits

  • UK compensation range of GBP 72K - GBP 90K.
  • Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
  • 100% remote, global work culture.
  • 30 days of annual leave per year, including 3 Grafana Shutdown Days.
