Grafana Labs - Senior Backend Software Engineer - Loki | NASA | Remote
Requirements
• Solid experience with at least one programming language. We use Go, but if you have familiarity with Python, C, C++, Rust or similar then that translates well. • Some experience with delivering projects from gathering requirements and brainstorming ideas, all the way to shipping a product to the customer’s hands in a self-driven way. • Some experience with developing software that runs in the Cloud or some experience with systems engineering. • Experience writing clean, robust, and performant software that is easily maintained by others. • Experience writing low level code for databases, storage layers, or query engines. • Experience working with Kubernetes. • Been a user of Grafana and/or Prometheus in operational roles (including on-call for your team at a previous employer or just using these tools in hobby/homelab projects). • Exposure to microservices architecture and distributed systems, or a desire to learn. • Familiarity with being on-call and performing operations/SRE tasks or with the concept of infrastructure as code.
Responsibilities
• Design, build, operate, and maintain critical systems, owning the reliability, performance, and availability. • Take an active role in influencing our roadmap and your own career objectives. • Work with your team to deliver new features, then use the results to iterate and improve. • Drive projects from initial ideation all the way to operations once it is in the hands of customers. • Embrace our open-source culture and contribute to other projects that may not directly fall within your team’s scope. • Be a part of your team’s on-call rotations and take ownership of the services you’re running. • Mentor and support other team members, participate in design discussions, and collaborate with the team. • Learn new skills by gaining a deeper understanding of our cloud product and our customers and getting to know the codebase of a large distributed system. • As we are remote-first and our engineering organisation is largely remote, we provide guidance and meet regularly using video calls, so an independent attitude and good communication skills are a must. • What Makes You a Great Fit: • You are a motivated self starter with a bias towards action. • You are customer focused. We build everything with our users in mind. You have a passion for creating intuitive products that fit customers’ needs . • Pragmatism: You are able to take on complex challenges and break them down to achieve short feedback loops: to analyze, design, and build modular solutions, deliver MVPs, gather data and feedback, and then progress iteratively. • Collaboration and communication: The smallest unit we have is a team. You’ll be working with your teammates in a fully remote setup. Good communication skills are a must.
