Backend Engineer - Platform Productivity

Grafana Labs is seeking a Backend Engineer for their Platform Productivity squad within the Platform department. This role is crucial in helping internal engineers release software onto infrastructure securely and measurably. The platform moves millions of metrics, log lines, and traces per second, aiming to scale to hundreds of millions per second.

The Platform Productivity squad focuses on automating release processes, from CI/CD to bootstrapping, implementing 'golden path' techniques, and ensuring teams maximize tool utilization. You'll be working on the platform that supports the development of popular observability tools like Grafana, Mimir, Loki, and Tempo.

The role involves full lifecycle ownership of code, from design documents to deployment and decommissioning. While Go is the primary language, the team values flexibility in choosing the right tools. You'll participate in on-call rotations and work on exciting projects like next-gen CI/CD systems, productivity tooling automation in Backstage, and security automation.

The ideal candidate should be comfortable in a remote-first environment, eager to learn and grow, and approach development holistically. Experience with cloud environments, Kubernetes, and Infrastructure as Code is valuable. You'll be part of a collaborative team that values consensus-driven decision-making and supports professional growth.

Working at Grafana Labs offers the opportunity to impact millions of users worldwide, with their visualization tools being used everywhere from NASA to Wimbledon. The company provides competitive compensation, equity, and comprehensive benefits while fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment.
