We look for team mates with the following skills

• You are comfortable working in a remote-first company; communication is key. For us, working together means being collaborative, friendly, kind and respectful. We value autonomy and enabling decisions over committees and red tape. You have at least a couple of years of experience as a Frontend developer. We are a distributed team, working remotely, on a product that will be used by engineers all over the world – the ability to work on your own, and ship working code is crucial.
• You have a good understanding of a software development process that takes a user-centered approach.
• You easily build an understanding of the users’ context and goals which will help you build the right solution that brings the biggest value to them.
• You know how to transform ideas into working code – you are able to design a solution, get feedback, and write a prototype by yourself.
• You are a self-driven individual who understands the power of feedback loops in making roadmap decisions and driving our product forward.
• You are able to communicate the design decisions clearly in written and spoken English.
• You enjoy working on complex solutions – Grafana is a highly technological solution and has avid followers who rely on it every day and care deeply about their workflows.
• You have an active interest in the three observability pillars and how they come together to build a powerful workflow

What we use

• We work with React as our framework, Typescript, Redux, and RxJS
• We use Storybook to communicate internally and externally (e.g plugin developers can see what the component library looks like and offers)
• Emotion is our choice when it comes to styling, but there’s some SASS around too
• Webpack is our current bundler
• We use Golang for code that needs to live on the backend

What we work on

• The team collaborates on reviewing feature requests from the OSS community and our customer base, identifying high-level roadmap themes, and overall driving the direction of observability at Grafana Labs.
• Our business as usual includes raising and fixing bugs, developing and testing new features, trialing innovative ideas for our products, close collaboration with UX, contributing to design docs, and more.
• We are currently focusing on enhancing the observability workflow in Grafana by developing seamless logs-metrics-traces integrations, further developing the Explore page functionality, and improving our CI/CD and testing pipelines.
• We are also closely collaborating with other squads in order to enhance the Grafana user onboarding journey
