• Collaborative attitude: You communicate effectively with peers, product managers, and designers. You’re open to feedback, and you bring a solutions-oriented mindset to the table
• Enjoy learning, growing, and supporting others to do the same
• Appreciate efficiency and strive to identify and utilize the most effective tools for the task at hand. You naturally share your use of these tools with your team to maintain transparency and growth
• Experience with open source software and/or commercial open source companies
• Familiarity with being on-call and performing operations/SRE tasks
• Have experience mentoring engineers in a collaborative but asynchronous environment, and see it as a meaningful
• Care about our community of users and contributors and are keen to be an active Grafana Community Contributor
