Description

WHAT IS GRAFANA CLOUD?

Grafana Cloud is our composable observability platform that integrates metrics, logs, and traces with Grafana. It allows our customers to leverage the best open source observability software – including Prometheus, Mimir, Loki, and Tempo – without the overhead of installing, maintaining and scaling their own observability stack
The Observability department is focused on enabling developers to understand the health and performance of their applications and infrastructure in any environment by providing tools to instrument their code, ingest observability data into Grafana Cloud and visualize and explore it.
Grafana Alloy is an open source OpenTelemetry Collector distribution with built-in Prometheus pipelines and support for metrics, logs, traces, and profiles. The Alloy team collaborates with the upstream OpenTelemetry collector community on components we include in our distribution. We also cover use cases that are out-of-scope for OpenTelemetry, like integration of Prometheus exporters.
As a company we are remote-first and global, we embrace people of different experiences and backgrounds to build diverse teams where every person brings a unique perspective to the software. We are looking for Engineers that are passionate about communicating with data and providing seamless experiences for our customers to join our growing team! Engineers at Grafana also have the opportunity to contribute to Open Source communities.

BENEFITS:

Equal Opportunity Employer: At Grafana Labs we’re building a company where a diverse mix of talented people want to come, stay, and do their best work.

If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways.
We will recruit, train, compensate and promote regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, disability, age, veteran status, and all the other fascinating characteristics that make us different and unique. We believe that equality and diversity builds a strong organization and we’re working hard to make sure that’s the foundation of our organization as we grow.

Responsibilities
  • Working with the Alloy team to deliver new functionality.
  • Contributing to and reviewing design documents for upcoming features.
  • Being an active member of the OpenTelemetry collector community. Alloy shares a lot of components with the OpenTelemetry collector project.
  • Being familiar with the Prometheus ecosystem and making sure that Alloy integrates well with Prometheus components.
  • Supporting customers and prospects with setting up their observability pipelines.
  • Working with other teams within Grafana to make sure Alloy works well with the solutions they are building.
  • Participating in on-call rotations for our deployments.
    As we are remote-first and our engineering organization is largely remote, we provide guidance and meet regularly using video calls, so an independent attitude and good communication skills are a must.
