Description

  • Design, build, and operate reconciliation systems, including the Stack State Service (SSS) backend, to detect and repair drift across stack state sources.
  • Collaborate across grafana.com, deployment configurations, and adjacent teams to keep stack lifecycle workflows reliable, observable, and resilient.
  • Improve deployment efficiency and contribute to efforts that simplify regional SSS deployment and stack configuration reconciliation.
  • Manage rollout mechanisms for provisioned plugins, dashboards, data sources, Grafana versions, release channels, and stack-level configuration.
  • Support safe stack launches in new Grafana Cloud regions and cluster rollouts.
  • Improve incident response and recovery for stack misalignment, reconciliation failures, plugin rollout issues, and Hosted Grafana integration failures.
  • Partner with Product, Hosted Grafana, Infrastructure, Support, and other AppCore squads on customer-impacting stack 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, rollout controls, and recovery procedures.
  • Debug across service boundaries and make careful changes in systems that affect customer stacks.

Requirements

  • At least 1 year of fully remote work experience.
  • Professional experience with Golang and willingness to work across both backend service and application code.
  • Experience working on a large SaaS platform with distributed systems challenges such as scalability, multi-tenancy, data isolation, and high availability.
  • Strong Kubernetes experience in AWS, GCP, or Azure.
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Helm, Terraform, or Jsonnet.
  • Experience participating in blameless incident response and writing high-quality post-incident reviews.
  • Experience delivering projects from requirements gathering and brainstorming through shipping to customers in a self-driven way.
  • Ability to write clean, robust, well-tested software that other engineers can understand, operate, and maintain.
  • Experience mentoring junior engineers in a collaborative, asynchronous environment.
  • Experience with Kubernetes control-plane patterns, operators, reconcilers, or desired-state systems is preferred.
  • Experience with TypeScript/Node.js is a plus.
  • Experience with Jsonnet/Tanka, Terraform, Flux, Argo, or similar deployment/configuration tooling is a plus.
  • Experience working on 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

  • Base salary range in Canada of CAD 186,368 to CAD 223,642.
  • Equity in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).
  • Bonus eligibility, if applicable.
  • Remote-first, 100% remote global work culture.
  • Global annual leave policy of 30 days per year.
  • 3 days of annual leave reserved for Grafana Shutdown Days.
  • In-person onboarding for new hires.
  • Career growth pathways and development opportunities.
