Observability Architect | USA EST| Remote at Grafana Labs

This is an ideal role for a senior technical professional who enjoys a mix of high-level systems architecture and hands-on customer success. You should have at least 5 years of experience in technical post-sales or consulting, with a deep understanding of modern infrastructure. While listed as "Mid-level," the salary and responsibilities suggest they are looking for someone with significant expertise in Kubernetes and the open-source observability ecosystem (specifically Prometheus, Loki, and Tempo). The compensation is highly competitive ($182k–$217k OTE) and includes RSUs, offering a real stake in a high-growth company. The role is fully remote but requires residency in the **US Eastern Time Zone** and up to 25% travel. You’ll benefit from a generous 30-day annual leave policy and a "remote-first" culture that prioritizes autonomy and transparency over office politics. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have strong experience deploying and operating **Kubernetes** in production environments. * Are a "strategic technician" who can design long-term roadmaps while also performing deep-dive root cause analysis. * Enjoy building relationships with SREs and architects to help them scale their observability maturity. * Live in the **EST timezone** and are comfortable with occasional travel to client sites.
