Frontend Engineer - Application Observability - Grafana Cloud

Frontend Engineer - Application Observability - Grafana Cloud (Remote, EMEA)
What is Grafana Cloud?

Grafana Cloud is our composable observability platform that integrates metrics, logs, and traces with Grafana. It allows our customers to leverage the best open source observability software – including Prometheus, Mimir, Loki, and Tempo – without the overhead of installing, maintaining, and scaling their own observability stack.

The App Observability squad is focused on making data intake into Grafana easier by providing web app instrumentations and 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 own the JavaScript frontend library along with its receivers and visualizations which makes it possible to monitor JavaScript applications running in the client. We also own visualizations targeted at enterprise application developers who are managing their applications at runtime.

As a company we are remote-first and global, we embrace people of different experiences and backgrounds to build diverse teams where every person brings a new perspective to the software. We are looking for a Frontend Engineer who is 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), but we build tools for people using many other stacks. Frontend Engineers at Grafana also have the opportunity to contribute to Open Source communities.
