Our Grafana Cloud pipeline moves millions of data points, loglines, and traces per second from our customers’ environments into a highly available, low-latency stack that processes and stores the data, and serves it to dashboards and alerting tools. We aim to grow this to hundreds of millions per second, and it's critical that as we grow, we improve our performance, increase our reliability, and do it all more efficiently.

Our culture is remote-first and our engineering organization is largely remote. We provide guidance and meet regularly using video calls, so an independent attitude and strong communication skills are a must
Within 1 month you will be able to:
Gain a deeper understanding of our cloud product and our customers
Get to know the codebase and contribute to our growing list of third-party integrations
Participate in ongoing design discussions that allow us to collaborate on and inform our technical decisions
Significantly contribute to a major initiative in our roadmap
Within 3 months you will be able to:
Take an active role in shaping our roadmap and your own career objectives
Drive a project from initial ideation 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
Be a part of your team’s on-call rotations and take ownership of the services you’re running
Requirements:
You are familiar with programming languages like Go, C, C#, C++, or Rust
You are able to write clean, robust, and performant software
You have experience with network programming or distributed systems development
Nice to haves:
Familiarity with operations/SRE and the concept of infrastructure as code
Experience with the observability space in general (metrics, logging, tracing, monitoring, alerting)
Experience with Kubernetes / Kafka / Cassandra / Bigtable / syslog / opentracing or similar technologies
Familiarity with time-series applications and concepts, especially Graphite or Prometheus.
