The Opportunity:

As a Mimir Engineer you’ll join one of these two sub-squads: Query or Storage. Together, they maintain the open source Grafana Mimir OSS project and operate Grafana Cloud Metrics across three major cloud providers. This role offers the opportunity to work on large-scale, high-performance distributed systems where efficiency, resilience, and reliability are essential to keeping our metrics offerings competitive and smooth at massive volumes.

Mimir engineers work across a variety of streams. You’ll typically collaborate with another engineer on a larger project while also driving performance and reliability improvements identified from operating the system in production. In this role, you’ll write and review PRs and design documents, help guide automated release rollouts, and participate in the on-call rotation for the systems you own. This is a chance to directly shape, optimize, and scale one of the industry’s most advanced metrics platforms.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Take an active role in influencing our roadmap and your own career objectives 
• Work with your team to deliver new features solving customer problems and enhancing operations on a large database at scale
• Drive projects from initial idea all the way to operations once it is in the hands of customers
• Embrace our open-source culture and contribute to other projects that may not directly fall within your team’s scope
• Design, build, operate, and maintain critical systems, owning the reliability, performance, and availability
• Be a part of your team’s follow-the-sun on-call rotations and take ownership of the services you’re running
• Support other team members, participate in design discussions and collaborate with the team
• Learn new skills by gaining a deeper understanding of our cloud product and our customers and getting to know the codebase of a large distributed system

We invest heavily in developer productivity. You can use modern AI coding assistants as part of your daily workflow (your choice of tools, within security guidelines), backed by a company-funded usage budget so you can iterate quickly without unnecessary friction.

You’ll also have access to frontier models (e.g., GPT-Codex 5/3, Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro).

What Makes You a Great Fit:

• Pragmatism: You are able to take on complex challenges and break them down to achieve short feedback loops: to analyze, design, and build modular solutions, deliver MVPs, gather data and feedback and then progress iteratively
• Collaboration and communication: The smallest unit we have is a squad. You’ll be working with your teammates in a fully remote setup. Good communication skills are a must.

• Solid experience with at least one programming language. We use Go, but if you have familiarity with Python, C, C++, Rust or similar then that translates well
• Some experience with delivering projects from gathering requirements, brainstorming ideas all the way to shipping a product to the customer’s hands in a self-driven way
• Some experience with developing software that runs in the Cloud or some experience with systems engineering
• Some experience with being on-call and following the DevOps model
• Experience writing clean, robust, and performant software that is easily maintained by others
• Familiarity with observability systems, know when to use metrics, logs, traces, to debug a problem.

Bonus Points For:

• Experience working with Kubernetes

Staff Backend Engineer - Adaptive Telemetry

This role is available for candidates located in the UK, Germany, Spain, Ireland and Sweden.

The Opportunity:

What is Grafana Cloud?

Grafana Cloud is our composable observability platform that integrates metrics, logs, traces, and profiles with Grafana. It allows our customers to leverage the best open source observability software – including Prometheus, Mimir, Loki, Tempo, and Pyroscope – without the overhead of installing, maintaining and scaling their own observability stack.

The Databases department owns and operates the telemetry databases that are Mimir for metrics, Loki for logs, Tempo for traces, and Pyroscope for profiles. We offer our databases as a Cloud service supporting Grafana Cloud.

Adaptive Telemetry Group

The Adaptive Telemetry group, part of the Databases department, has the mission of ensuring that all telemetry stored in our databases is worthy of attention. Under that mission, the group is responsible for the development of Adaptive Metrics, Adaptive Logs, Adaptive Traces and Adaptive Profiles.

Our Adaptive Telemetry solutions give users the ability to control and optimize their telemetry data. These solutions ensure that data storage is optimized based on individual usage patterns, so only the most valuable data is retained.

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 new perspective to the software. 

What will you be doing:

• Drive technical strategy and roadmap. Proactively define the architectural vision, prioritize work that unlocks major product or platform improvements, and influence product and engineering decisions.
  
  
• Lead end-to-end delivery of large, cross-functional projects. Own planning, design, execution, rollout and long-term operation of large initiatives.
  
  
• Own architecture, reliability, performance and cost for critical systems. Make pragmatic architecture choices that balance scalability, availability, latency and cost while ensuring systems remain maintainable and evolvable.
  
  
• Define SLOs/SLIs and lead incident response. Establish measurable reliability targets, run high-severity incident response, lead blameless post-mortems, and drive systemic fixes and automation to prevent recurrence.
  
  
• Improve observability, automation and operational readiness. Champion telemetry, alerting, runbooks, capacity planning and automation efforts that reduce toil, speed debugging and lower MTTR.
  
  
• Align stakeholders and remove blockers. Coordinate across Product, Design and other teams to align priorities, negotiate tradeoffs, and unblock delivery for large initiatives.
  
  
• Mentor and grow engineering talent. Coach senior and mid-level engineers, lead design reviews, raise engineering standards, and help teammates make sound technical tradeoffs.
  
  
• Represent engineering internally and externally. Communicate technical strategy clearly to non-engineering stakeholders and represent the team in cross-team planning.

We invest heavily in developer productivity. You can use modern AI coding assistants as part of your daily workflow (your choice of tools, within security guidelines), backed by a company-funded usage budget so you can iterate quickly without unnecessary friction.

We encourage pragmatic AI-assisted development: faster prototyping, test generation, refactors, documentation, and incident follow-ups—always paired with strong code review and quality standards.

You’ll also have access to frontier models (e.g., GPT-Codex 5/3, Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro).

What makes you a great fit:

You are a motivated self starter with a bias towards action. You are customer focused. We build everything with our users in mind. You have a passion for creating intuitive products that fit customers’ needs 

• Proven delivery of large distributed systems. Experience shipping and operating complex systems that span multiple teams, with clear evidence of technical leadership and impact.
  
  
• Strong systems-design instincts. Deep understanding of tradeoffs around latency, consistency, availability, scaling and cost.
  
  
• Hands-on cloud and platform experience. Solid experience with cloud-native architectures (microservices, containers/Kubernetes, IaC) and the operational practices that keep them healthy.
  
  
• Reliability and performance ownership. Comfortable defining SLOs/SLIs, doing capacity planning, tuning performance, and driving reliability work end-to-end.
  
  
• Excellent coding and design skills. You write clear, maintainable, well-tested code and can lead technical designs — we use Go, but Python/C/C++/Rust or similar translate well.
  
  
• Comfort with AI-assisted development. We embrace AI and agentic development so we expect you to be curious and comfortable using AI-powered developer tools and ideally have practical experience folding them into a team’s workflow.
  
  
• Experience with messaging and telemetry. Familiarity with streaming/messaging systems (e.g., Kafka) and observability tooling (Prometheus/Grafana or equivalents).
  
  
• Influence without authority. Ability to align cross-functional stakeholders, set priorities and drive outcomes in a remote-first environment.
  
  
• Strong communicator. Clear written and verbal communication that works across engineers and non-technical stakeholders.

Compensation & Rewards:

In Germany, the Base compensation range for this role is €106,000 - €127,000. Actual compensation may vary based on level, experience, and skillset as assessed in the interview process. Benefits include equity, bonus (if applicable) and other benefits listed here.

Senior Developer Advocacy Engineer | Germany | Remote

This is a fully remote position and we're considering candidates in Germany.

Grafana is building the Interactive Learning Plugin: an open source, in-product learning experience inside Grafana that helps users level up without leaving their workflow. We’re hiring a software engineer embedded in Developer Advocacy who ships real product code that directly impacts both Grafana Cloud and Grafana OSS.

This is for an engineer who moves fast with strong judgment, is excited about AI-assisted development in open source, and wants to help build a platform where anyone can contribute high-quality learning content—not just engineers.

Your primary focus will be the open source Interactive Learning Plugin: https://github.com/grafana/grafana-pathfinder-app and its content: https://github.com/grafana/interactive-tutorials 

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Build delightful interactive learning inside Grafana
• Ship features that make learning experiences feel obvious, smooth, and scalable.
• Improve the end-to-end learner experience—from onboarding to completion.
• Enable contribution and authoring (especially for non-engineers): create workflows and product features that let many contributors safely create, iterate on, and improve learning content.
• Support private guides and experiences
• Make completion tracking that actually matters
• Build progress and completion tracking that’s trustworthy, motivating, and useful.
• Instrument learning flows so we can understand what’s working, what’s failing, and where learners get stuck.
• Treat observability as a product principle
• Build fast feedback loops (metrics/logs/traces + user journey visibility) so issues stay shallow.
• Make it easy to understand what’s happening in production and in real user experiences.
• Ship fast with an AI-driven development workflow
• Work daily with tools like Claude Code or Cursor in an agent-based workflow.
• Apply strong engineering judgment—scoping, iterating, verifying, and testing—so speed doesn’t compromise quality.

We invest heavily in developer productivity. You can use modern AI coding assistants as part of your daily workflow (your choice of tools, within security guidelines), backed by a company-funded usage budget so you can iterate quickly without unnecessary friction.

You’ll also have access to frontier models (e.g., GPT-Codex 5/3, Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro).

This role includes participation in an on-call rotation as part of our DevOps culture. We believe in end-to-end ownership—those who build the software also help run and support it in production.

What Makes You a Great Fit:

We know it’s rare to find everything. You should be strong in at least two of the three areas below:

• AI harness experience (agentic development)
• You’ve used tools like Claude Code or Cursor in real development work (daily or close to it).
• You can describe your workflow (scoping → iterate → validate → test) and how you manage risks like security and correctness.
• Serious software engineering fundamentals
• You can ship production-grade changes and explain tradeoffs.
• You care about architecture, maintainability, correctness, and raising the quality bar (not “vibe coding” alone).
• Grafana context
• You’ve used Grafana in real environments—dashboards, troubleshooting, on-call, or monitoring workflows.
• You understand observability practices and how Grafana fits into them.

You’ll also do a small but meaningful amount of communication work (~20%) which will include writing clear docs, design notes, and PR descriptions, as well as occasionally demo work or explaining decisions to internal/external audiences.

Bonus Points For:

• Meaningful open source contribution or maintainer experience
• Full-stack experience (strong frontend-only or backend-only profiles are also welcome)
• TypeScript and/or Go
• Kubernetes familiarity
• Experience in the broader observability ecosystem (Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Mimir, OpenTelemetry)

Senior Developer Advocacy Engineer | Spain | Remote

This is a fully remote position and we're considering candidates in Spain.

The Opportunity:

Grafana is building the Interactive Learning Plugin: an open source, in-product learning experience inside Grafana that helps users level up without leaving their workflow. We’re hiring a software engineer embedded in Developer Advocacy who ships real product code that directly impacts both Grafana Cloud and Grafana OSS.

This is for an engineer who moves fast with strong judgment, is excited about AI-assisted development in open source, and wants to help build a platform where anyone can contribute high-quality learning content—not just engineers.

Your primary focus will be the open source Interactive Learning Plugin: https://github.com/grafana/grafana-pathfinder-app and its content: https://github.com/grafana/interactive-tutorials 

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Build delightful interactive learning inside Grafana
• Ship features that make learning experiences feel obvious, smooth, and scalable.
• Improve the end-to-end learner experience—from onboarding to completion.
• Enable contribution and authoring (especially for non-engineers): create workflows and product features that let many contributors safely create, iterate on, and improve learning content.
• Support private guides and experiences
• Make completion tracking that actually matters
• Build progress and completion tracking that’s trustworthy, motivating, and useful.
• Instrument learning flows so we can understand what’s working, what’s failing, and where learners get stuck.
• Treat observability as a product principle
• Build fast feedback loops (metrics/logs/traces + user journey visibility) so issues stay shallow.
• Make it easy to understand what’s happening in production and in real user experiences.
• Ship fast with an AI-driven development workflow
• Work daily with tools like Claude Code or Cursor in an agent-based workflow.
• Apply strong engineering judgment—scoping, iterating, verifying, and testing—so speed doesn’t compromise quality.

We invest heavily in developer productivity. You can use modern AI coding assistants as part of your daily workflow (your choice of tools, within security guidelines), backed by a company-funded usage budget so you can iterate quickly without unnecessary friction.

We encourage pragmatic AI-assisted development: faster prototyping, test generation, refactors, documentation, and incident follow-ups—always paired with strong code review and quality standards.

You’ll also have access to frontier models (e.g., GPT-Codex 5/3, Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro).

This role includes participation in an on-call rotation as part of our DevOps culture. We believe in end-to-end ownership—those who build the software also help run and support it in production.

What Makes You a Great Fit:

We know it’s rare to find everything. You should be strong in at least two of the three areas below:

• AI harness experience (agentic development)
• You’ve used tools like Claude Code or Cursor in real development work (daily or close to it).
• You can describe your workflow (scoping → iterate → validate → test) and how you manage risks like security and correctness.
• Serious software engineering fundamentals
• You can ship production-grade changes and explain tradeoffs.
• You care about architecture, maintainability, correctness, and raising the quality bar (not “vibe coding” alone).
• Grafana context
• You’ve used Grafana in real environments—dashboards, troubleshooting, on-call, or monitoring workflows.
• You understand observability practices and how Grafana fits into them.

You’ll also do a small but meaningful amount of communication work (~20%) which will include writing clear docs, design notes, and PR descriptions, as well as occasionally demo work or explaining decisions to internal/external audiences.

Bonus Points For:

• Meaningful open source contribution or maintainer experience
• Full-stack experience (strong frontend-only or backend-only profiles are also welcome)
• TypeScript and/or Go
• Kubernetes familiarity
• Experience in the broader observability ecosystem (Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Mimir, OpenTelemetry)

We also strive to incorporate OSS contributions in our work by contributing to projects such as Alloy, Prometheus, OpenTelemetry, and Beyla. The Observability department provides a core building block for customers using Grafana Cloud.

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.

What You’ll Be Doing:

At Grafana Labs, our engineers have a dedicated career path and do not have to become managers to progress in their career. Staff Software Engineers at Grafana have a large amount of experience across multiple areas. They are able to estimate, plan, coordinate and deliver large tasks spanning multiple systems. They actively coach and mentor other team members in their team and are able to identify and resolve issues with technology and product processes.

You will bring your passion for observability and software engineering expertise to help us take our infrastructure monitoring capabilities within Grafana Cloud to the next level. This will include working with our Kubernetes monitoring solution.

• Design and implement high-quality, scalable integrations for various infrastructure components, applications, and data ingestion pipelines 
• Create middleware components and libraries that simplify development and maintenance of observability solutions
• When necessary, represent Grafana Labs in open source forums, working groups, and events
• Work with product teams, in addition to design and docs, to develop features that align with wider product strategy and customer needs
• Lead the technical direction and vision of the team, contributing to strategic discussions and future development of observability solutions
• Work with other departments including Sales, Product, and Support teams to deliver a holistic product experience
• Take ownership of the services you’re running by deploying well tested clean code

About Upshop 

Upshop is the market leader in Total Store Operations solutions for the Grocery and C-Store markets. We offer an AI-powered SaaS platform connecting Fresh, Center, eCommerce, and DSD department operations to deliver a simplified, smarter, more connected store experience. Customers running Upshop realize significant improvements in sales, shrink, food safety, and sustainability across the entire store. 450+ retail chain accounts trust our software in over 55k+ stores across 35 countries and 3 continents. 

At Upshop, we believe great businesses are built by great people. We hire high-agency builders who take ownership, move with urgency, and raise the bar for those around them. 

Overview of the Role  

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to operate with a high degree of autonomy within one of Upshop’s core product teams. This is a hands-on individual contributor position focused on owning and driving complex initiatives, shaping technical decisions at the project level, and delivering high-quality systems in an evolving platform environment. 

Our platform powers real-time retail operations at global scale, spanning mobile applications, barcode scanning workflows, multi-tenant SaaS APIs, enterprise integrations, and data-driven decision systems. You will work across cloud-native infrastructure in Azure and GCP, building and operating services in languages such as C# and PHP, alongside modern frontend technologies like React and TypeScript. The platform leverages a variety of frameworks, containerized deployments with Kubernetes, and data systems including SQL and NoSQL databases, Redis, and analytics pipelines. 

AI is core to how we build at Upshop. From drafting specifications to generating code, expanding test coverage, refactoring legacy modules, and improving observability, we expect engineers to actively explore and leverage AI tools throughout their workflow. Curiosity and disciplined AI usage are part of the role. 

Key Responsibilities 

Project Leadership & Technical Execution 

• Lead significant technical initiatives within your product area, driving projects from design through production rollout. 

• Break down ambiguous problems into structured, deliverable increments. 

• Collaborate with other engineers and engineering leadership to align project decisions with broader architectural direction. 

• Contribute to design discussions, propose trade-offs, and help reduce decision latency within the team. 

Hands-On Development 

• Leverage AI tools to design solutions, generate production-grade code, expand test coverage, and improve implementation quality. 

• Contribute across backend and frontend systems, ensuring clarity, maintainability, and strong engineering discipline. 

• Write comprehensive unit and integration tests covering core paths and edge cases. 

• Own features end-to-end: design, implementation, deployment, monitoring, and iteration. 

• Design with observability in mind — logging, metrics, tracing, and performance considerations built in by default. 

Platform Evolution & Collaboration 

• Support ongoing system evolution and integration across product lines. 

• Work collaboratively across team boundaries, stepping into gray areas when necessary to move work forward. 

• Mentor less experienced engineers through thoughtful code reviews and structured feedback. 

• Participate in improving engineering practices, including spec-driven development and AI-assisted workflows. 

Qualifications 

Required 

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience. 

• Demonstrated interest in and active exploration of AI tools, with experience integrating AI into daily development workflows. 

• Strong backend engineering experience in PHP, C#, or similar languages and frameworks. 

• Frontend experience with React, modern TypeScript/JavaScript ecosystems, or comparable frontend technologies. 

• Experience operating systems in cloud environments (Azure, GCP, AWS, or similar) and containerized deployments (e.g., Kubernetes or equivalent platforms). 

• Demonstrated ability to lead projects and influence technical direction without formal authority. 

• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to document intent, specifications, and decisions clearly. 

• Experience working effectively in ambiguous environments where requirements and integration paths evolve. 

Preferred 

• Experience using or experimenting with agentic development and spec-driven development patterns. 

• Experience working in multi-tenant SaaS environments. 

• Deep familiarity with AI-assisted development tools and practical application of agentic or spec-driven engineering practices. 

• Experience integrating systems across product boundaries. 

What We Value 

• Initiative over passivity. 

• Structured thinking over reactive execution. 

• Methodical system evolution over reckless rewrites. 

• Data-informed decisions over opinion-driven debates. 

• Ownership from concept to production health. 

Benefits/Perks: 

• Competitive compensation. 

• Generous PTO and benefits package. 

• Career development opportunities. 

• Collaborative, growth-oriented culture at the forefront of grocery tech innovation.
