Grafana Labs is seeking a Software Engineer to join the Synthetic Monitoring squad, which builds and operates a multi-tenant distributed system used globally to proactively verify critical user journeys, APIs, and services. The product executes billions of synthetic tests monthly from probe locations worldwide and customer-operated private probes, running on Kubernetes across AWS, GCP, and Azure.
The role is genuinely full-stack: you will own features end-to-end from Go backend services and API design through the TypeScript/React frontend, reasoning about the system holistically rather than as separate halves. You'll contribute to architectural decisions on scheduling, probe lifecycle, telemetry ingestion, and API design that shape how the product scales. Key responsibilities include designing and evolving systems (not just features), building cross-product and AI-assisted workflows that connect Synthetic Monitoring to the wider Grafana Cloud platform, and making the product operable at enterprise scale with governance primitives for teams managing hundreds of checks.
You will break down complex, ambiguous problems into incremental deliverables and iterate quickly based on feedback. Quality is paramount—you'll ensure reliability through testing, observability of your own systems, and documentation, since customers alert on check results. You'll participate in the team's on-call rotation and take ownership of the services you run.
Grafana Labs is a 100% remote, globally distributed company with 1,600+ team members across 40+ countries, backed by leading investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Sequoia Capital, and Coatue. The company serves 7,000+ customers including Anthropic, Bloomberg, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Salesforce. The team embraces open source, open standards, and open culture, with a focus on transparency, autonomy, and trust.
