What the job involves
- Grafana Labs is seeking a Staff AI Growth Engineer to architect and lead the development of our next-generation AI agent and workflow systems

- The right candidate translates business bottlenecks into comprehensive, automated solutions that drive measurable ROI, accelerate growth, and elevate team effectiveness across departments

- Build and maintain scalable cloud-based infrastructure (GCP) and workflow automation via no-code/low-code platforms (Make.com, n8n, Workato) with focus on high-impact business applications
- Drive modular, scalable, multi-agent AI systems that operate 24/7 and integrate with marketing platforms (e.g., Customer.io, Marketo, Salesforce, BigQuery)
- Develop CI/CD pipelines and scalable automation frameworks

- Provide internal training, best practices, and scalable documentation frameworks for AI tools that enable cross-functional team success and organizational AI adoption

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.
