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
- You are comfortable working in a remote-first company; communication is key. For us, working together means being collaborative, friendly, kind, and respectful. We value autonomy and enabling decisions over committees and red tape. You have at least a couple of years of experience as a front-end developer. We are a distributed team, working remotely, on a product that will be used by engineers all over the world – the ability to work on your own, and ship working code is crucial
- You are a confident software engineer who’s experienced with data transformation and visualisation (eg SQL, Pivot Tables, D3.js, Matplotlib or Jupyter Notebooks)
- You have a good understanding of a software development process that takes a user-centred approach
- You easily build an understanding of the user’s context and goals which will help you build the right solution that brings the biggest value to them
- You know how to transform ideas into working code – you are able to design a solution, get feedback, and write a prototype by yourself
- You are a self-driven individual who understands the power of feedback loops in making roadmap decisions and driving our product forward
- You are able to communicate the design decisions clearly in written and spoken English
- You enjoy working on complex solutions – Grafana is a highly technological solution and has avid followers who rely on it every day and care deeply about their workflows
- You have an active interest in the three observability pillars (Metrics, Logs and Traces) and how they come together to build a powerful workflow
- You’re familiar with being on-call and performing operations tasks like version checking and rollbacks
What the job involves
- We work with React as our framework, Typescript, Redux, and RxJS
- Rendering libraries such as uPlot, D3.js, Lodash and OpenLayers
- We use Golang for code that needs to live on the backend
- The team collaborates on reviewing feature requests from the OSS community and our customer base, identifying high-level roadmap themes, and overall driving the direction of data visualisation together with observability at Grafana Labs
- Our business as usual includes raising and fixing bugs, developing and testing new features, trialling innovative ideas for our products, close collaboration with UX, contributing to design docs, and more
- We are also closely collaborating with other squads in order to enhance the Grafana user onboarding journey
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, Grafana boasts over 25M users globally, with a customer base exceeding 5,000, 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.
