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

This role is ideal for a mid-level software engineer with a strong foundation in backend development—specifically those who enjoy working on high-scale distributed systems. While the team primarily uses Go, they are open to experts in Python, C++, or Rust who are willing to pivot. You should have a "DevOps" mindset, meaning you are comfortable not just writing code, but also deploying, operating, and being on-call for your own services. The position offers a high-impact opportunity to work on the Mimir open-source project within a remote-first culture. Beyond the base salary, compensation includes Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), giving you a stake in the company’s growth. You’ll also enjoy significant flexibility with a 100% remote setup and a generous 30-day annual leave policy that includes dedicated "shutdown days" for the entire team to disconnect. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have experience building or maintaining software that runs in the Cloud at scale. * Are comfortable with (or eager to learn) Go and Kubernetes-based environments. * Value open-source contribution and transparency in the development process. * Have an interest in observability systems like Prometheus, Loki, or Tempo.
