Senior Engineering

Manager, Grafana FrontendThe OpportunityGrafana is an open-source observability product and a platform that teams and plugin developers build on. The Frontend group shapes its user experience (from dashboards and visualisation to navigation, search and sharing) and the foundations that support engineering teams and community contributors across the Grafana ecosystem.

As Senior Engineering

Manager, you'll lead the Frontend Platform and Navigation squads, owning their performance, delivery and customer outcomes.

Frontend

Platform enables teams to build reliable, high-quality experiences; Navigation helps users find and organise resources and move confidently through Grafana. You'll develop senior engineers, partner with Product and Design, and improve how teams work, including through AI and automation. We use Cloud-first rollout and experimentation to learn quickly, bringing relevant improvements to OSS and Enterprise.

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 with strong code review and quality standards. What You'll Be DoingBe accountable for the performance of two distributed engineering squads: set clear expectations, delegate effectively, coach and develop each team member, give timely feedback, address performance gaps and build a culture of trust and accountability.

Own hiring and team planning across both squads, aligning team capacity and skills with product priorities and longer-term needs. Partner with Product, Design and engineering leaders to set priorities, resolve dependencies and make trade-offs between customer needs, long-term investments and operational demands. Lead the adoption of AI and automation across engineering and operational workflows, evaluating their impact on delivery speed, quality and time spent on repetitive work.

Set engineering direction with senior engineers for the frontend foundations owned by your squads, including developer experience, accessibility, architecture, tooling, reliability and multitenant capabilities. Set engineering direction for navigation, search and resource organisation, including where AI-assisted discovery can help users find what they need. Set and uphold engineering standards for quality, security and operability, including how teams evaluate and validate AI-assisted work.

Lead improvements across Grafana and R&D; that increase engineering productivity and improve business outcomes. Participate in the engineering management on-call rota, coordinate responses and drive improvements that reduce recurring disruption. Regularly use Grafana's AI capabilities for observability, incident investigation and management,



bringing that experience into product feedback and roadmap decisions.

What Makes

You a Great FitSignificant experience managing senior engineers, building healthy teams and developing technical leaders. You give clear feedback and address performance gaps directly and fairly.
