Senior Frontend Engineer - Grafana Cloud, Adaptive Telemetry (Remote, Canada)

This is a remote position, we're considering candidates in NASA timezones with a preference for the eastern time zones of Canada, and the US.

What is Grafana Cloud?

Grafana Cloud is our composable observability platform that integrates metrics, logs, traces, and profiles with Grafana. It allows our customers to leverage the best open source observability software – including Prometheus, Mimir, Loki, Tempo, and Pyroscope – without the overhead of installing, maintaining and scaling their own observability stack.

The Databases department owns and operates the telemetry databases that are Mimir for metrics, Loki for logs, Tempo for traces, and Pyroscope for profiles. We offer our databases as a Cloud service supporting Grafana Cloud, and additionally as on-premise solutions with Grafana Enterprise Metrics, Grafana Enterprise Logs, and Grafana Enterprise Traces.

Adaptive Telemetry Group

The Adaptive Telemetry group, part of the Databases department, has the mission of ensuring that all telemetry stored in our databases is worthy of attention. The group has already developed Adaptive Metrics and Adaptive Logs and is now in the path of iterating them while expanding the same vision to other telemetry signals.

Our Adaptive Telemetry solutions give users the ability to control and optimize their telemetry data. These solutions ensure that data storage is optimized based on individual usage patterns, so only the most valuable data is retained.

Each Adaptive Telemetry solution comes with a Grafana plugin that allows for manual adjustments to solution behavior or the acceptance of system-generated recommendations. Our Grafana plugins are Typescript applications developed with React and tested with Jest and Playwright.

An Adaptive Telemetry frontend engineer has various work streams. They likely are engaged in a larger project with other frontend and backend engineers. They are also responsible for writing and reviewing PRs and design documents from other engineers in the squad. Last but not least, they are also continuously implementing smaller refinements in the existing user interface.

As a company we are remote-first and global, we embrace people of different experiences and backgrounds to build diverse teams where every person brings a new perspective to the software. 

What will you 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.
• Lead and manage projects throughout their entire lifecycle, from the initial ideation and planning stages, through development and execution, to final delivery.
• Contribute to other projects that may not directly fall within your team’s scope.
• 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.

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.

What are we looking for in you? 

You are a motivated self starter with a bias towards action. 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 squad. You’ll be working with your teammates in a fully remote setup. Good communication skills are a must.
• Solid experience working with web applications ideally developed with React.
• Solid experience unit and end to end testing your code ideally with Jest and Playwright.
• Experience writing clean, robust, and performant software that is easily maintained by others.

Nice to haves:

• Experience working with TanStack and Playwright.
• Experience developing Grafana plugins.
• Experience working with some traditionally backend programming languages like Go.
• Been a user of Grafana and/or other observability related applications at a previous employer or just using these tools on hobby/homelab projects.
