Description

  • Build and evolve mobile instrumentation SDKs for iOS (Swift/Obj‑C) and Android (Kotlin/Java), prioritizing performance, stability, and developer experience.
  • Design and ship SDK features such as session tracking, crash reporting, sampling strategies, automatic context propagation, and OpenTelemetry integrations.
  • Own projects end-to-end, from design and MVP shipping to iteration based on feedback.
  • Break large, ambiguous problems into incremental deliverables: design modular solutions, ship MVPs, gather feedback, and iterate quickly.
  • Ensure product quality through automated tests, CI, documentation, and backwards‑compatible upgrade paths.
  • Collaborate cross‑functionally with backend, frontend, product, and solutions engineering to deliver cohesive end‑to‑end observability workflows.
  • Engage with the open‑source community by reviewing PRs, discussing design proposals, and guiding external contributors.
  • Mentor teammates, participate in technical design discussions, and help shape the mobile observability roadmap.

Requirements

  • Based in Spain, Germany, the United Kingdom, or Sweden (remote‑first role with those location preferences).
  • Strong mobile engineering experience on one or both platforms: iOS (Swift/Obj‑C) and/or Android (Kotlin/Java).
  • Demonstrated experience building or maintaining mobile SDKs, platform libraries, or other developer‑facing platform code used by external developers.
  • Experience working with performance‑sensitive code (startup time, memory, network efficiency) and making pragmatic tradeoffs.
  • Familiarity with OpenTelemetry (instrumentation, SDKs, collectors) or experience contributing to/maintaining OTel SDKs or similar telemetry libraries.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication and comfort working in a fully remote, globally distributed team.
  • Self‑starter able to operate autonomously, collaborate effectively, and run with poorly defined scopes.
  • Customer‑focused, coachable, and able to do more than code (write docs, mentor others, shape roadmaps).
  • Pragmatic approach to ambiguity, prioritizing progress over perfection and iterating quickly based on feedback.
  • Bonus: contributions to OpenTelemetry or observability OSS; experience with cross‑platform frameworks (React Native, Flutter) or building native bindings/bridges; experience with mobile security/privacy; prior work on crash aggregation, session replay, or sampling for mobile telemetry.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation (UK range £103,958 - £124,750) with Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) as part of total rewards.
  • 100% remote, global culture with a scaling organization and transparent leadership.
  • Company‑funded AI coding assistant usage budget and access to frontier models to boost developer productivity.
  • In‑person onboarding to help new hires integrate with the team from day one.
  • 30 days annual leave per annum (global policy) with 3 days reserved for Grafana Shutdown Days; local legislation will be respected where applicable.
  • Clear career growth pathways, empowered teams, and an open‑source, innovation‑driven culture.
