There are more than 20M users of Grafana, the open source visualization tool, around the globe, monitoring everything from beehives to climate change in the Alps. The instantly recognizable dashboards have been spotted everywhere from a NASA launch and Minecraft HQ to Wimbledon and the Tour de France. Grafana Labs also helps more than 3,000 companies -- including Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase, and eBay -- manage their observability strategies with the Grafana LGTM Stack, which can be run fully managed with Grafana Cloud or self-managed with the Grafana Enterprise Stack, both featuring scalable metrics (Grafana Mimir), logs (Grafana Loki), and traces (Grafana Tempo).

We’re scaling fast and staying true to what makes us different: an open-source legacy, a global collaborative culture, and a passion for meaningful work. Our team thrives in an innovation-driven environment where transparency, autonomy, and trust fuel everything we do.

You may not meet every requirement, and that’s okay. If this role excites you, we’d love you to raise your hand for what could be a truly career-defining opportunity.

This is a full time remote role for candidates in the UK, Sweden, Spain and Germany.

The Opportunity:

The Grafana IRM squad operates a business critical set of services that help Grafana and multiple organizations across the globe respond to incidents. Our mission is “We make it easy to detect, respond, and learn from incidents with minimal toil”. We have three functional squads within our team, frontend, backend and mobile, but our work is usually spread across the three functions.

Our domain is quite large and it is constantly evolving. Our key values are unified experience, automation and integration and Observability Native. We are customer focused and aim to provide an excellent customer experience for efficient usage with a high degree of automation and integration to multiple 3rd party systems that our users can leverage. When we say Observability Native is in our core, we really mean it, we want to highlight the integration of IRM with observability, which enables teams to gain actionable insights and resolve incidents more efficiently. The value is faster and more informed decision making.

Grafana IRM is trusted by major organizations worldwide, monitoring essential medical devices and critical infrastructure. We thrive on collective creativity and diverse perspectives, every team member is encouraged to contribute ideas that shape our product into a dependable tool.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Take an active role in influencing our roadmap and your own career objectives.

Work with your team to deliver new features, then use the results to iterate and improve.

Embrace our open-source culture and contribute to other projects that may not directly fall within your team’s scope.

Design, build, operate, and maintain Grafana’s mobile Application, owning the reliability, performance, and availability.

Be a part of your team’s on-call rotations and take ownership of the application you’re running.

Mentor and support other team members, participate in design discussions and collaborate with the team.

Learn new skills by gaining a deeper understanding of our cloud product and our customers and getting to know the codebase of a large distributed system.

As we are remote-first and our engineering organization is largely remote, we provide guidance and meet regularly using video calls, so an independent attitude and good communication skills are a must.

You are customer focused.

We build everything with our users in mind.

You have a passion for creating intuitive products that fit customers’ needs.

Pragmatism: You are able to take on complex challenges and break them down to achieve short feedback loops: to analyze, design, and build modular solutions, deliver MVPs, gather data and feedback and then progress iteratively.

Collaboration and communication: The smallest unit we have is a team. You’ll be working with your teammates in a fully remote setup. Good communication skills are a must.

What Makes You a Great Fit:

Experience with at least one native mobile platform (Android or iOS).

Strong experience building production Flutter apps, including state management, navigation, asynchronous programming, and architecting maintainable codebases.

Comfort integrating mobile apps with backend APIs and cloud services

Write clean, maintainable, and performant code that is easy for other engineers to understand and extend.
