Associate Observability Architect | USA EST| Remote at Grafana Labs

This role is an ideal fast-track for an early-career engineer or technical consultant who wants to move into a strategic, client-facing architecture role. While labeled "Entry-level," the company is looking for someone with a solid technical baseline—specifically around Kubernetes and the open-source observability ecosystem. It’s perfect for a "high-potential" candidate who enjoys solving complex system puzzles and translating technical "how-to" into business value. The compensation is highly competitive for an associate role ($139k–$167k plus equity), especially given its fully remote status. You’ll be joining a leader in the open-source space with a mature remote culture and a generous 30-day annual leave policy. Because this is a post-sales role, the focus is on long-term relationship building and technical mentorship rather than aggressive sales quotas. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Live in the **US Eastern Time Zone** and are comfortable with up to 25% travel. * Have 2+ years of experience in technical support, TAM, or systems engineering. * Are comfortable deploying and troubleshooting **Kubernetes** environments. * Can explain complex observability concepts (metrics, logs, traces) to both engineers and executives.
