We build Pyroscope, the open-source continuous profiling database behind Grafana Cloud Profiles
Pyroscope gives engineers code-level visibility into how their applications use CPU and memory, down to the specific line of code, and connects that signal with metrics, logs, and traces across the Grafana stack
2026 is an inflection point for Pyroscope
We completed the rollout of our V2 architecture, cutting production costs by 92% while significantly improving scalability, and grew the number of customers using the product by 64% last year
The product is moving beyond profiling-savvy users, and our focus is shifting from standalone feature development to reducing friction across the full experience: better onboarding, deeper integration with the rest of Grafana, and profiles that work for operational and SRE workflows, not just performance specialists
Over the next year, you will help us:
Ship Adaptive Profiles as the default ingestion strategy, so customers automatically collect the profiles they need at a cost that makes sense




Turn Pyroscope into a platform capability inside Grafana: bi-directional trace-to-profile correlation, integration with Kubernetes Monitoring and App Observability, and profiles surfaced where engineers already start their investigations
Prepare Pyroscope for an agent-driven world: APIs, CLI, and docs designed so AI agents can drive profiling end to end, covering the full performance optimization lifecycle from finding an issue to verifying the fix
Push operational excellence and TCO further: generalized autoscaling, better UX for long queries, and BYOC automation that brings up a new cell with zero manual intervention
Double adoption by making profiling easy to start with: guided onboarding, use-case-driven docs, and assisted instrumentation so users get value in minutes instead of days
As a Senior Engineer on Pyroscope, you will own meaningful projects end to end and help shape what the team builds next
