Company mission
To unite data, no matter where it lives, and empower its users to analyze, take action, and make smart decisions.
Role
Who you are
- Extensive experience building production-ready ML models for time series applications
- 5 - 7+ years of experience with Python and familiarity with SQL
- Hands-on experience with cloud data warehouses (e.g., BigQuery, Snowflake, Redshift, etc.)
- Highly motivated self-starter that is keen to make an impact and is unafraid of tackling large, complicated problems
- Excellent communication skills, able to explain technical topics to non-technical audiences, and maintain many of the essential cross-team and cross-functional relationships necessary for the team’s success
Desirable
- Experience in Bayesian statistics and modeling
- Knowledge about observability
- Previous experience with Grafana visualization, or a desire to invest the time to learn
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Staff Data Scientist to be the founding member of our predictive analytics practice within our Data & Analytics team, with a focus on building capabilities around operationalizing ML models to drive core financial metric and customer consumption forecasts
- In particular, this function will be a key driver in corporate planning and will be heavily relied upon by teams across Finance, Revenue Operations, and our executive team
- Success in this role will require a combination of significant experience in deploying ML models on time series data, coordinating between multiple teams to meet business-driven timelines, and an ability to establish standards and best practices for data science across Grafana Labs
- Examples of projects you’ll work on
- Refine our existing time series forecasts to allow the prediction of per-customer consumption, with an emphasis on ensuring model explainability and a clear representation of model uncertainty
- Partner with Data Engineering to ensure the model infrastructure is in place to serve, monitor, test, and retrain any models put into production
- Identify and build solutions to leverage these forecast models for operational use cases (e.g., customer consumption anomaly detection, alerting, etc.)
- Partner closely with RevOps to both understand and predict customer consumption as a part of our sales planning and territory management
- Collaborate across Product, R&D, and Data Engineering to identify and ingest new sources of data to improve model performance
Our take
Observability plays a crucial role in software development, where dashboards are pivotal for monitoring the health of IT infrastructure across an organization. However, for developers, the frustration of spending unnecessary time navigating between different dashboards to find the latest information detracts from valuable programming time.
Grafana collaborates closely with its clients to create customizable observability platforms, striving to enhance efficiency in observability. Its offerings include cloud-based data structures, dashboards, API plugins, and collaboration tools. Currently, FGrafana boasts over 21M active instances and approximately 10M users globally, with a customer base exceeding 2,000, including prominent names like Bloomberg, PJ Morgan Chase, eBay, PayPal, and Sony.
While Grafana provides free plans with a simplified tool package, the Grafana Enterprise Stack offers customized observability solutions on a monthly subscription basis. The company's ongoing strategy revolves around continually improving Grafana to meet users' demands, enhancing functionality with each iteration, and fostering community engagement by enabling users to share their Grafana dashboards with the broader open-source community.
