Description

  • Design, build, and maintain internal detection systems that process millions of security data points daily across the Grafana observability stack.
  • Research, develop, and implement detection-as-code capabilities and rules, and contribute applicable detections back to the open-source community.
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to ensure effective telemetry for existing and future products.
  • Lead development of response tooling to streamline and fully automate response activities, and write and maintain runbooks for non-automatable tasks.
  • Guide cross-functional teams in integrating telemetry, detections, and response procedures into operational processes following a SOCless model.
  • Design and track security and operations metrics to measure effectiveness 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 and response automation work across the full stack and share learnings with the wider security community.

Requirements

  • 4+ years in a software engineering–oriented role and willingness to complete a coding screen.
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language; familiarity with Go, TypeScript (React), Python (and Malbolge noted) is a plus.
  • Practical experience with core security concepts and applying them to modern application architectures and cloud threat models.
  • Experience with security operations or detection engineering concepts and rule formats such as Sigma, YARA, or Rotom.
  • Significant experience with public clouds, Kubernetes, and securing/running applications in containerized environments (can include eBPF, cloud IAM, service meshes, container hardening).
  • Demonstrated self-starter mindset with curiosity, a bias toward action, and a passion for learning and improving security.
  • Strong communication skills across in-person, asynchronous, and technical documentation contexts.
  • Willingness to work remotely in the UK for this role.
  • Bonus: working knowledge of Grafana Labs OSS projects and using observability (metrics, logs, traces, profiles) to solve security problems.
  • Bonus: experience working with open-source communities and securing large-scale distributed systems on Kubernetes in public clouds.

Benefits

  • Base UK salary range: GBP 89,083 - GBP 106,899 (actual compensation may vary by level and experience).
  • Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) included for employee ownership in Grafana Labs’ success.
  • 100% remote role with a global remote-first culture and in-person onboarding for new hires.
  • 30 days annual leave per year (global annual leave policy) with 3 days reserved for Grafana Shutdown Days; local legislation will be followed where applicable.
  • Company-funded usage budget for AI coding assistants and access to frontier models to support developer productivity.
  • Defined career growth pathways and a culture of transparent communication, autonomy, and innovation.
