Grafana

Labs also helps more than 3,000 companies -- including Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase, and eBay -- manage their observability strategies with the Grafana LGTM Stack, which can be run fully managed with Grafana Cloud Grafana Enterprise Stack , Grafana Mimir ), Grafana Loki ), Grafana Tempo ). We're scaling fast and staying true to what makes us different: an open-source legacy, a global collaborative culture, and a passion for meaningful work.

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, Mimir, Loki, and Tempo – without the overhead of installing, maintaining and scaling their own observability stack The Grafana Cloud Observability department is focused on enabling developers to understand the health and performance of their applications and infrastructure in any environment by providing tools to instrument their code, ingest observability data into Grafana Cloud and visualize and explore it. In this role, you will be part of the Ingest team that develops the software that helps our users to get Grafana's observability stack up and running and keep it working over time.

We build and maintain the configuration and deployment tooling that bridges the gap between "I want observability" and "I have observability,". To achieve this we are responsible for projects like the Kubernetes Monitoring Helm Chart , You will bring your expertise to develop and maintain the tooling that powers the ability of our customers to deploy and operate the tooling to ingest observability data into the Grafana stack. Design,



build and maintain user-facing tools that support the deployment, configuration and operation of Grafana Alloy, the OpenTelemetry Collector, and related components.

As of today this enables 1.8 million running instances to send data to Grafana Cloud. Own and evolve our Helm chart ecosystem run on more than 10k clusters and 300k nodes, writing charts that are robust, well-tested, and a pleasure for users to use Kubernetes-first, but rock-solid on Linux, Windows, and macOS, too Support infrastructure-as-code integrations using ArgoCD, Terraform, Flux, and other GitOps utilities Contribute upstream to open source projects including Grafana Alloy, OpenTelemetry, and Helm community charts Represent Grafana Labs in meetups, and conferences and social media forums 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 paired with strong code review and quality standards.
