Description

  • Design, build, and maintain internal detection systems using Go, TypeScript, Python, and the Grafana observability stack to process millions of security data points daily.
  • Research and develop sophisticated detection-as-code capabilities and rules to cover risks and threats across product and corporate systems.
  • Contribute applicable detections and learnings back to the open-source community.
  • Collaborate with product teams and stakeholders to ensure effective telemetry for existing and future products.
  • Lead development of response tooling to streamline and fully automate response activities, and write/maintain runbooks for non-automatable cases.
  • Guide cross-functional teams in integrating telemetry, detections, and response procedures following a SOCless model.
  • Design security and operations metrics to measure success and demonstrate security value.
  • Lead response to security alerts, potential incidents, and customer security issues, and participate in security incident on-call rotations.
  • Perform detection research, response automation, and share findings with security engineers, developers, and customer-facing teams.

Requirements

  • 4+ years in a software engineering–oriented role and proficiency with at least one programming language (Go, TypeScript, Python preferred); candidates will take a code screen.
  • Experience with core security concepts and applying them to modern application architectures and cloud threat models.
  • Experience with security operations and detection engineering concepts and formats such as Sigma, YARA, or Rotom.
  • Significant experience with public clouds, Kubernetes/container ecosystems, and running applications securely (may include eBPF, cloud IAM, service meshes, container hardening).
  • Demonstrated self-starter with curiosity, bias toward action, and a passion for security and continuous learning.
  • Strong communication skills in-person, asynchronously, and in technical documentation.
  • Willingness to participate in incident on-call rotations and lead incident responses.
  • Bonus: working knowledge of Grafana Labs OSS projects and using observability (metrics, logs, traces, profiles) for security.
  • Bonus: experience working with OSS communities and securing large-scale distributed systems on Kubernetes in public clouds; creative approaches to security and detection for hybrid cloud + OSS environments.

Benefits

  • Base compensation range in Germany: EUR 94,208 – EUR 113,050 (actual pay varies by level/experience).
  • Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) included for all roles to provide ownership in the company.
  • 100% remote, remote-first global culture (this posting is for a remote position in Germany).
  • Company-funded usage budget for AI coding assistants and access to frontier models (e.g., GPT-Codex, Claude Opus, Gemini).
  • 30 days annual leave per year with 3 days reserved for Grafana Shutdown Days (local legislation permitting).
  • In-person onboarding to support early ramp-up and team integration.
  • Defined career growth pathways, transparent communication, and an innovation-driven, supportive culture.
