Role Description

We are sharing a specialised part-time consulting opportunity for experienced Grafana power users with strong backgrounds in observability, dashboard design, alerting systems, data source configuration, and technical workflow evaluation. This role supports an exciting collaboration with a leading frontier AI research laboratory focused on improving how advanced AI agents perform real-world Grafana workflows through high-quality task design, reference execution, grading logic, and evaluation analysis.

Selected professionals will:

• Design expert-level evaluation tasks that test whether AI agents can use Grafana the way real professionals do.
• Perform those workflows themselves on hosted Grafana instances to produce reference trajectories.
• Implement programmatic graders.
• Review model attempts to identify failures and root causes.

This opportunity is especially well-suited to professionals with deep Grafana expertise, strong systems thinking, and the ability to translate real-world observability workflows into rigorous AI evaluation tasks.

Requirements

• Experience with Grafana API automation.
• Background in Kubernetes or infrastructure monitoring.
• Familiarity with AI evaluation or benchmarking.

Benefits

• Contribute specialised Grafana and observability expertise to a cutting-edge AI collaboration.
