Senior Software Engineer – Grafana Cloud Observability Provider

Grafana Labs is hiring a Senior Software Engineer for its Grafana Cloud Observability Provider team.

LOCATION, WHICH IS BROADER THAN THE TITLE SUGGESTS

The listing header says Sweden, but the body states: "This is a remote opportunity and we are looking for candidates in the UK, Spain, Germany or Sweden." Four countries, not one. Filed as Europe.

THE ROLE

You would bring observability expertise to Grafana's infrastructure monitoring capabilities within Grafana Cloud, working on Kubernetes monitoring and Cloud Provider observability solutions.

Senior Software Engineers at Grafana have broad experience across multiple areas, estimate and coordinate large tasks spanning multiple systems, actively coach and mentor teammates, and identify and resolve issues in both technology and product process.

Engineers here also contribute to open source communities as part of the job.

ABOUT GRAFANA LABS

Grafana Labs is the company behind the open observability cloud. More than 35 million users and 7,000+ customers rely on it, including Anthropic, Bloomberg, NVIDIA, Microsoft and Salesforce.

The company is 100 percent remote with 1,600+ team members across 40+ countries, backed by Lightspeed, Sequoia, GIC, Coatue, J.P. Morgan, CapitalG and Lead Edge.

Grafana is remote-first by design rather than by policy. Engineers also have a dedicated individual contributor career path and do not have to become managers to progress.

WHAT EVERY GRAFANA ROLE INCLUDES

• Restricted Stock Units in every role, giving every team member ownership
• 30 days annual leave globally, three reserved as company Shutdown Days so the whole team disconnects at once
• In-person onboarding alongside fellow new joiners
• Country-specific compensation ranges, published on the listing

Grafana note that if you apply from a different location than the one listed, your recruiter will discuss that market's defined pay range and benefits at the start of the process.

BEFORE YOU APPLY

Applications ask whether you are currently eligible to work in your country of residence, and whether you now or in future require visa sponsorship. Existing work authorisation is expected rather than sponsorship offered.

Grafana also discloses that it may use AI tools to help match CVs against job postings, with the recruitment team continuing to review inbound CVs manually.
