Senior FullStack Engineer - Grafana Cloud Observability| Canada | Remote

Join the on-call rotation for the services you own

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.

As we have embraced a remote-first approach and our engineering team is primarily remote, it is essential to possess strong communication skills and the ability to work independently. We provide support and hold regular meetings through video calls to ensure effective collaboration and alignment.

What Makes You a Great Fit:

Interest in working across the full stack, with a product-focused mindset. You start from the user problem and are comfortable deciding what to build, not only how to build it

Experience on both the backend and the frontend. We use Go and TypeScript; solid experience with comparable languages translates well

Fluency with AI-assisted development. You use coding agents and LLM tooling as part of how you work, and you have a clear view of where they speed things up and where they get in the way

Comfort being visible. You raise concerns early, advocate for your team's work across the org, and turn quiet good work into decisions other people can see and act on

Working knowledge of the observability ecosystem: Prometheus, Grafana dashboards, alerting, and what it takes to run these systems in production

Strong written communication. Most of our decisions happen in docs, issues and pull requests across several time zones

Bonus Points For:

Experience contributing to or maintaining Open Source projects, with evidence of successful pull requests and community collaboration

Experience working on Developer Tooling with a large user base

Experience building Grafana plugins, apps or dashboards

Familiarity with Grafana Alloy, the OpenTelemetry Collector, or similar telemetry pipeline tooling

Experience writing Jsonnet, or another configuration-as-code language
