Frontend Engineer, Cloud - remote

There are more than 700,000 active installations of Grafana around the globe, monitoring everything from beehives to climate change in the Alps. The instantly recognizable dashboards have been spotted everywhere from a SpaceX launch and Minecraft HQ to Wimbledon and the Tour de France. Grafana Labs also helps companies including Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase, and eBay manage their observability strategies with full-stack offerings that can be run fully managed with Grafana Cloud, or self-managed with Grafana Enterprise Stack. The Grafana stack has grown to include two other open-source projects, Grafana Loki (for logs) and Grafana Tempo (for traces)

This is a remote opportunity and we would be interested in applicants from North, Central and South America only at this time.

The Cloud team at Grafana Labs:

Grafana Cloud is a composable observability platform, integrating metrics and logs with Grafana.  Many organizations do not want to spend the resources to host their own Grafana, or are seeking extra reliability or scalability for their monitoring by choosing to host monitoring separately from their infrastructure.  We make data intake into Grafana easier by providing data source integrations with prebuilt dashboards and alerts for common use cases.  We want customers to easily and reliably monitor all of their servers and applications with Grafana Cloud.

We are looking for Frontend Engineers that are passionate about communicating with data and providing seamless experiences for our customers to join our growing team! Our stack is Typescript + React (interacting with backends written in Golang).  Frontend Engineers at Grafana also have the opportunity to contribute to Open Source communities.

What you’ll work on:

As a Frontend Engineer, you will be working on the frontend for one of our cloud products.  You could also be contributing to one of our open-source projects, or on a new green-field project in the monitoring/observability space.

–Collaborate with Product, UX, and graphic designers to turn their designs into great user experiences.

–Implement visual designs using clean, reusable components.

–Expand and improve our core libraries that other teams and the plugin ecosystem depend on. (Examples: Page layouts, menus, drawer, plugin build tools.)
