Grafana 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

AI Notice: 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 with strong code review and quality standards

You’ll also have access to the latest frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google

Be 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

Lead discovery with your squads: engage directly with customers, community members and internal users, combine their feedback with research and usage evidence, and use tho
