Job Level
About the role
- Build delightful interactive learning inside Grafana
- Ship features that make learning experiences feel obvious, smooth, and scalable.
- Improve the end-to-end learner experience—from onboarding to completion.
- Enable contribution and authoring (especially for non-engineers): create workflows and product features that let many contributors safely create, iterate on, and improve learning content.
- Support private guides and experiences
- Make completion tracking that actually matters
- Build progress and completion tracking that’s trustworthy, motivating, and useful.
- Instrument learning flows so we can understand what’s working, what’s failing, and where learners get stuck.
- Treat observability as a product principle
- Build fast feedback loops (metrics/logs/traces + user journey visibility) so issues stay shallow.
- Make it easy to understand what’s happening in production and in real user experiences.
- Ship fast with an AI-driven development workflow
- Work daily with tools like Claude Code or Cursor in an agent-based workflow.
- Apply strong engineering judgment—scoping, iterating, verifying, and testing—so speed doesn’t compromise quality.
Requirements
- AI harness experience (agentic development)
- Serious software engineering fundamentals
- Grafana context
- Communication work (~20%) which will include writing clear docs, design notes, and PR descriptions, as well as occasionally demo work or explaining decisions to internal/external audiences.
- Bonus Points For:
- Meaningful open source contribution or maintainer experience
- Full-stack experience (strong frontend-only or backend-only profiles are also welcome)
- TypeScript and/or Go
- Kubernetes familiarity
- Experience in the broader observability ecosystem (Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Mimir, OpenTelemetry)

- Scaling Organization – Tackle meaningful work in a high-growth, ever-evolving environment.
- Transparent Communication – Expect open decision-making and regular company-wide updates.

- Balance is Key - We operate a global annual leave policy of 30 days per annum. 3 days of your annual leave entitlement are reserved for Grafana Shutdown Days to allow the team to really disconnect. *We will comply with local legislation where applicable.
