Grafana Labs is a remote-first, open-source powerhouse. There are more than 20M
users of Grafana, the open source visualization tool, around the globe,
monitoring everything from beehives to climate change in the Alps. The instantly
recognizable dashboards have been spotted everywhere from a NASA launch and
Minecraft HQ to Wimbledon and the Tour de France. 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 [https://grafana.com/products/cloud/] or
self-managed with the Grafana Enterprise Stack
[https://grafana.com/products/enterprise/], both featuring scalable metrics
(Grafana Mimir [https://grafana.com/oss/mimir/]), logs (Grafana Loki
[https://grafana.com/oss/loki/]), and traces (Grafana Tempo
[https://grafana.com/oss/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. Our
team thrives in an innovation-driven environment where transparency, autonomy,
and trust fuel everything we do.
You may not meet every requirement, and that’s okay. If this role excites you,
we’d love you to raise your hand for what could be a truly career-defining
opportunity.
This is a remote opportunity and we are interested in applicants from USA and
Canadian time zones only at this time.
THE OPPORTUNITY:
The Metrics Drilldown team builds intuitive, guided workflows that make complex
telemetry easy to explore and understand. We let users navigate seamlessly
through their metrics, facilitating their ability to gain insights and identify
issues.
Our mission is to design and maintain intuitive, opinionated, queryless user
experiences that empower users to quickly answer telemetry questions through
simple point-and-click interactions.
WHAT WE DO:
- Guided Exploration: We build simple, intuitive UIs that help users
troubleshoot and answer questions without writing queries.
- Cross-Data Insights: We seek opportunities to integrate the Metrics Drilldown
plugin with other parts of the Grafana ecosystem, in order to provide a
seamless experience to users.
- Community Driven: We listen to users and contributors, and turn feedback into
real improvements.
- Operational Excellence: We write robust, extensible code and own
qualification and delivery of our plugin. We monitor usage and performance
and always look for ways to improve our functionality and increase the
efficiency of our workflows.
HOW WE WORK:
- No blame: We cultivate a growth mindset, with a focus on learning and
improving ourselves and our product.
- Better done than perfect: We iterate quickly and deliver value continuously.
- Experimentation: We develop ideas for new offerings and try them out, then
monitor their usage and user feedback on them.
- Performance is non-negotiable: Drilldown must always feel responsive and
interactive.
- Mentorship & Innovation: we grow together through knowledge sharing,
mentorship, internal hackathons, and constant learning.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:
- Improve and enhance metrics exploration workflows, holistically influencing
the entire stack from Mimir to Metrics Drilldown.
- Collaborate with your team and with others at Grafana to deliver new
features, analyze outcomes, and make improvements.
- Lead projects from concept to implementation, incorporating ongoing customer
support.
- Take an active role in influencing our roadmap and your own career
objectives.
- Participate in shared on-call rotations and take responsibility for the
services you oversee.
- Support and mentor team members, engage in design conversations, and work
closely with colleagues.
- Expand your skill set by deepening your knowledge of our cloud products,
understanding our customers, and learning about our codebase.
As we have embraced a remote-first approach and our engineering team is
primarily remote, it is essential to possess strong communication skills and the
ability to work independently. We provide support and hold regular meetings
through video calls to ensure effective collaboration and alignment.
WHAT MAKES YOU A GREAT FIT:
- You are a motivated self-starter with a bias toward action.
- You embrace a user-centric design sensibility.
- You can take 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.
- You invest in your colleagues and generously share your experience and
knowledge, while also learning from your peers and growing your own skillset.
- You know how to communicate and collaborate effectively in a remote first
environment.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Deep experience building integrated, frontend applications with React and
TypeScript, following modern patterns and best practices.
- Proven ability to take ideas from concept to reality — from brainstorming and
design discussions to prototypes, polished UIs, and production-ready
features.
- Strong sense of product design and usability, with the ability to contribute
creatively to user workflows and visual polish.
- Expertise in best-in-class coding practices, including automation-based
testing strategies, maintainable architectures, accessibility, and
performance optimization.
- Excellent communication skills in a remote-first, collaborative environment,
with a track record of working effectively across teams.
- Bonus: Experience contributing across the stack from frontend to backend.
