Staff AI Engineer, Grafana Labs

• 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
• Ideal for a builder who thrives at the intersection of AI, automation, and business growth
• 7+ years building production systems and integrations (software engineering, data/analytics engineering, business systems, or GTM engineering)
• 2+ years hands-on experience applying LLMs/AI to production workflows — not just prototypes
• Proven experience delivering AI-enabled systems or automation (0→1 or major expansions) with measurable business outcomes
• Strong in Python and JavaScript/Node.js with Git-based development workflows, code review practices, and testing discipline
• Deep familiarity with Google Cloud Platform, BigQuery, and Cloud Functions
• Hands-on experience with LLM frameworks and patterns: prompt engineering, RAG, function calling/tool use, agent orchestration, structured output parsing, and evaluation
• Fluent with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) — you use AI to build AI systems
• Experience implementing automation systems, building agent workflows, and maintaining scalable infrastructure
• Proven ability to execute, prioritize, and deliver high-ROI AI automation projects
• Strong documentation skills and ability to communicate clearly with technical and business audiences
• Experience integrating with Salesforce (or similar CRM) and at least one marketing automation platform (Customer.io / HubSpot / Marketo)
• Background working with analytics, segmentation, and personalization platforms
• A hands-on builder who helps others thrive, where you ship solutions and enable colleagues to build on your work
• Comfortable working in ambiguity with high autonomy and you scope your own work, follow through on commitments, and default to transparency when making technical decisions
• Favors progress over perfection by shipping iteratively, learn from production, and improve continuously
• Seeks diverse perspectives when designing systems, gather input from the teams who'll use what you build, not just the ones who requested it
• Experience building multi-agent systems: agent decomposition, orchestration patterns (sequential chains, router/dispatcher, parallel fan-out), state management across handoffs
• Understanding of LLM failure modes and production mitigations: confidence thresholds, fallback logic, human escalation, cost/latency management
• Experience with systematic LLM evaluation: golden datasets, regression testing, A/B testing prompts, monitoring for drift
• Familiarity with conversational AI, chatbot development, and routing logic

Desirable

• Grafana Labs is seeking a Staff GTM Engineer (AI & Automation) to build our next-generation AI agent and workflow systems. You'll spend most of your time writing code — designing multi-agent architectures, integrating LLM APIs, building data pipelines, and shipping automation that runs 24/7 across Marketing, RevOps, and SDR teams
• You'll execute the AI growth roadmap, building internal capabilities and integrations that streamline marketing and operational workflows across teams. You'll implement multi-agent systems that drive results across Marketing, RevOps, and SDR teams. With strong technical ability and execution focus, you'll deliver AI-first solutions that translate business bottlenecks into comprehensive, automated systems that drive measurable ROI, accelerate growth, and elevate team effectiveness across departments
• This is a hands-on builder role with 60-70% coding and systems development, and 30-40% operational enablement (requirements, documentation, training, measurement, and stakeholder alignment). You’ll be a key driver of Grafana’s internal AI transformation by implementing governance and delivering automation that accelerates marketing and go-to-market efficiency
• Build and operate reliable automation across custom code + orchestration tools (e.g., n8n/Workato/Make), including CI/CD, testing, deployment practices, and runbooks that keep iteration fast and safe
• Implement modular, scalable, multi-agent AI systems that operate 24/7 and integrate with marketing platforms (e.g., Customer.io, Marketo, Salesforce, BigQuery)
• Own technical direction for GTM automation: design data models, define API contracts, build shared libraries, and maintain reference architectures used across teams
• Review code, write tests, and maintain production reliability standards
• Partner with RevOps, Demand Generation, Regional Marketing, Events Marketing, & SDRs to solve workflow inefficiencies through agent-based solutions with measurable business outcomes
• Create reusable workflow templates, playbooks, and “how-to” docs so partner teams can safely self-serve common automations (with clear ownership and measurement)
• Provide hands-on technical support and troubleshooting for AI systems across teams
• Align AI chatbot systems across multiple teams (Marketing, SDR, Customer Success) to create unified prospect interaction routing
• Build intelligent routing logic that determines when and how to engage human resources in prospect interactions
• Implement tracking and analytics to measure routing effectiveness and refine human-in-the-loop triggers
• Create scalable patterns for prospect intent classification and optimal channel/resource assignment
• Define SLAs, failure modes, and fallback pathways (when routing is uncertain, when systems are down, when confidence is low)
• Instrument end-to-end funnel metrics (handoff time, qualification accuracy, meeting set rate, pipeline influence) and iterate
• Build and maintain secure, documented systems with robust PII controls, compliance protocols, and permission frameworks
• Implement company-wide standards for AI prompt engineering, version control, testing, observability, and business impact measurement
• Create internal training materials, best practices documentation, and scalable frameworks for AI tools that enable cross-functional team success
• Support ongoing AI adoption through hands-on technical assistance and system optimization
