About the job
Design, build, operate, and maintain reliable, high-performance systems for Grafana Cloud’s telemetry databases, contributing to features and open-source projects.
What you'll do
- Deliver features and drive projects from initial idea through customer-facing operation; iterate based on results.
- Own the reliability, performance, and availability of critical systems, including participation in follow-the-sun on-call rotations.
- Review code and design proposals, collaborate with teammates, and contribute to open-source projects.
What they ask for
- Solid experience with at least one programming language; Go is used, and familiarity with Python, C, C++, Rust, or similar translates well.
- Some experience delivering projects from requirements gathering through shipping to customers in a self-driven way.
- Some experience developing cloud software or systems engineering.
- Some on-call experience and familiarity with the DevOps model; experience writing clean, robust, performant, maintainable software and familiarity with observability systems.
Nice to have
- Experience with Kubernetes, queue systems such as the Kafka protocol, or Grafana and Prometheus in operational roles.
- Exposure to microservices and distributed systems, or familiarity with infrastructure as code.
