There are more than 700,000 active installations of Grafana around the globe, monitoring everything from beehives to climate change in the Alps. The instantly recognizable dashboards have been spotted everywhere from a SpaceX launch and Minecraft HQ to Wimbledon and the Tour de France. Grafana Labs also helps companies including Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase, and eBay manage their observability strategies with full-stack offerings that can be run fully managed with Grafana Cloud, or self-managed with Grafana Enterprise Stack. The Grafana stack has grown to include two other open-source projects, Grafana Loki (for logs) and Grafana Tempo (for traces)
This is a remote position, and we are considering candidates in the North, Central & South Americas regions.
About 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, Cortex, Loki, and Tempo – without the overhead of installing, maintaining and scaling their own observability stack.
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.
You would be joining one of our Cloud squads, whose responsibilities span from adapting and delivering our open-source offerings to a cloud environment that can support millions of users, writing software that allows those users to easily send data from within their infrastructure, or helping to build monitoring and alerting solutions.
Our tech stack is mostly made up of services written in Go, running on multiple Kubernetes clusters that leverage Google’s Cloud Platform.
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.

Senior Go Engineer Level Remote $120,000 to $120,000 a year
November 2021
1 Applicants This Week
More Than 6 Months Old
Job Description
Level is building a modern remote monitoring and management solution. We are a small, well-funded, team that recently launched our product. We are searching for a strong, multi-talented individual contributor who is comfortable with systems-level programming and networking who can contribute to our agent, written in Go.
Must-Haves
Deep knowledge of a systems language like C, Rust, or Go.
Not afraid to dig into an RFC. Low-level internals excites you, rather than scares you away.
Experience with system-level APIs in Windows (win32), macOS, and/or Linux.
Excellent written communicator.
Willing to learn and work with Go.
Nice-to-Haves
You are comfortable using GCC, and find yourself at home going through a C codebase.
Familiarity with RPC and common methods of IPC such as sockets and named pipes.
Video encoding experience. You have worked with VP8 and understand the spec.
Building cross-platform libraries, our Go agent compiles to Windows, Darwin, and Linux on a variety of architectures.
Things you might work on
Building a cross-platform patch management system to give users control over OS updates.
Working with VP8 to reduce the latency and bandwidth when streaming a device.
Creating a system tray GUI for the agent.
Expanding desktop streaming to work on Mac and Linux.
Adding a proxy to the agent to enable remote access to routers and switches.
Implementing Trickle ICE to improve WebRTC connection times.
Why you might want to work with us
We are a small, fully remote engineering team, and there are no layers of bureaucracy. You can have a huge impact here.
We are very flexible with working hours, we don't expect you to work a consistent block of time, we trust you to get your work done.
We've recently launched and are starting to grow.
We will offer profit sharing so our small team will receive dividends on profits the company makes.
Why you might not want to work with us
We are an early-stage startup, and while we are well funded, we are careful with our runway and haven't splurged on extra perks like gym memberships or 401k matching.
You want to work with a large team. We do not intend to hire more until it is painful enough to warrant doing so.
More About Us
We are a startup headquartered in beautiful downtown Asheville, NC. We are a small, close-knit team working to upend the RMM market with our new product. We have recently launched and have acquired our first customers. Though we are a startup, our investors have given us a multi-year runway.
Currently, our agent team is made up of a single amazing developer. This hire will join them to expand the agent team. This developer should be an experienced self-starter that can make an impact on our product development. We aren't interested in someone that just wants to work down a list of pre-defined tasks. Our ideal candidate loves working on products and will help shape the direction of ours. We're going to be improving this product for years and want someone to come on this journey with us.
We really like the Basecamp philosophy and try to make sure that it doesn’t have to be crazy at work. We won’t ask that you work weekends, or late into the night. We don’t mind if you need to leave for an appointment in the middle of the day. We understand that software development doesn’t happen for 8 hours straight and don’t worry about counting time in the chair. We trust that given a fair timeline with a scope that you help us determine you will be able to deliver features. We are concerned with the end goal, not micromanaging you on the way there.
About the Application Process
Collaboration and communication are a critical aspect of how we work, a cover letter is a great way to provide a sample of how you communicate.
In your cover letter, please describe why you’re interested in working at Level, and what draws you to this role in particular. Specifics of your past experience that are relevant to this role are great to include, too.
Pay
We're looking for someone great but we're an early-stage startup. We are offering a rate of 120k plus profit sharing (once we have profits 😅). We hope to grow quickly and are committed to increasing the base pay of everyone on the team at each stage of growth.
