Senior Frontend Engineer – Database – Frontend

This is a remote opportunity and we would be interested in applicants from The EU Timezones!

The Cloud team at Grafana Labs:

Grafana Cloud is a composable observability platform, integrating metrics and logs with Grafana. Many organizations do not want to spend the resources to host their own Grafana, or are seeking extra reliability or scalability for their monitoring by choosing to host monitoring separately from their infrastructure. We make data intake into Grafana easier by providing data source integrations with prebuilt dashboards and alerts for common use cases. We want customers to easily and reliably monitor all of their servers and applications with Grafana Cloud.

We are looking for Frontend Engineers that are passionate about communicating with data and providing seamless experiences for our customers to join our growing team! Our stack is Typescript + React (interacting with backends written in Golang). Frontend Engineers at Grafana also have the opportunity to contribute to Open Source communities.

What you’ll work on:

As a Frontend Engineer, you will be working on the frontend for one of our cloud products. You could also be contributing to one of our open-source projects, or on a new green-field project in the monitoring/observability space.

• Collaborate with Product, UX, and graphic designers to turn their designs into great user experiences.
• Implement visual designs using clean, reusable components.
• Expand and improve our core libraries that other teams and the plugin ecosystem depend on. (Examples: Page layouts, menus, drawer, plugin build tools.)

We look for teammates that possess 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 operate by consensus. You can contribute to a discussion, disagree constructively, and commit to the team’s decision. You are able to communicate design decisions clearly in written and spoken English.
• You have at least a couple of years of experience as a Frontend developer. We are a small team of six, working remotely, on a product that will be used by engineers all over the world – the ability to work on your own 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 with the maximum value.
• 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 enjoy working on complex solutions – Grafana is a highly technological solution and has avid followers who rely on it every day and who care deeply about their workflows. You value code maintainability, readability & automation.
• You are able to troubleshoot modern web application issues and work with profilers, debuggers, bundlers, and testing libraries.
• Familiarity with Linux and any of Prometheus, Graphite, InfluxDB or Elasticsearch is also an advantage.

Technologies you’ll work with:

• React
• TypeScript
• Webpack

Nice to have technologies:

• Emotion & Sass
• Jest, React Testing Library, Playwright
• Golang
• Jsonnet
• Familiarity with Grafana and Grafana plugins
