[Hiring] Senior Full-Stack Engineer @Grafana Labs

Role Description

As a Senior Full-Stack Engineer on the Grafana Catalog team, you will help grow the Grafana plugin ecosystem. Plugins are how Grafana connects to almost any data source, panel type or app, and the catalog has more than 300 of them from Grafana Labs, commercial partners and the open source community.

We own the full plugin lifecycle:

• The Grafana Marketplace: paid plugins, publisher onboarding, and how customers buy and get access to them
• The plugin catalog in grafana.com and inside Grafana, where users search, compare and discover plugins
• Plugin installation and management in Grafana and Grafana Cloud
• Plugin delivery: publishing, signing, validation and the CDN that serves plugins to every Grafana Cloud instance
• Plugin review: every plugin published to the catalog goes through our review process before it reaches users
• Developer tooling and developer portal that helps develop the plugins

A typical “day in the life” could include:

• Building new Marketplace features across the Grafana frontend, our Go services and grafana.com
• Improving how users find and install plugins, for both humans and agents like Grafana Assistant
• Making it easier and faster for developers to build, test and publish plugins
• Automating and improving the review process that every published plugin goes through
• Supporting the operations and reliability of plugin installs and delivery in Grafana Cloud
• Talking to plugin developers and partners and turning their feedback into roadmap items
• Coming up with suggestions for process improvements
• Working closely with the rest of the Grafana Division

We invest heavily in developer productivity. You can use modern AI coding assistants as part of your daily workflow (your choice of tools, within security guidelines), backed by a company-funded usage budget so you can iterate quickly without unnecessary friction. We encourage pragmatic AI-assisted development: faster prototyping, test generation, refactors, documentation, and incident follow-ups—always with strong code review and quality standards. You'll also have access to the latest frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

Qualifications

• You know how to transform ideas into working code, you are able to design a solution, get feedback and deliver large projects.
• You are a self-driven individual who understands the power of feedback loops in making roadmap decisions and driving our product forward.
• You are a motivated self-starter with a bias towards action, and willing to take on any challenge.
• You are customer focused. We build everything with our users in mind. You have a passion for creating intuitive products that fit customers’ needs.
• You are an excellent communicator and you enjoy collaboration.
• You are comfortable working in a remote-first company.

Requirements

• Solid experience with Golang & Typescript
• Experience with React and building user-facing web applications
• Experience with Kubernetes & microservices
• Experience writing clean, robust, and performant software that is easily maintained by others
• Experience participating in an on-call rotation and performing operations/SRE tasks
