Backend Software Engineer - Mimir Ingest | Germany | Remote at Grafana Labs

This role is ideal for a mid-level engineer who enjoys working on high-scale distributed systems and open-source projects. While the team primarily uses Go, they are open to experts in Python, Rust, or C++ who are willing to transition. You should have a solid grasp of microservices, cloud-native engineering, and a "DevOps" mindset, as you will be responsible for both building and operating the services you own. As a remote-first organization, this position offers significant flexibility for candidates based in Germany, Spain, Ireland, the UK, or Sweden. The compensation package is transparent and includes a base salary plus Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), ensuring you have a stake in the company’s success. You'll also benefit from a generous 30-day annual leave policy and a culture that prioritizes autonomy and open-source contribution. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have experience building and maintaining large-scale distributed systems on Kubernetes. * Are comfortable participating in a "follow-the-sun" on-call rotation and owning service reliability. * Enjoy collaborating in a fully remote environment with a high degree of transparency and independence. * Have a passion for observability tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or Mimir.
