Senior Backend Engineer - Grafana App Platform | Canada | Remote at Grafana Labs

This role is designed for a Senior Backend Engineer with deep experience in SaaS architecture and distributed systems. You’ll be a great fit if you enjoy "platform thinking"—refactoring core architectures to support multi-tenancy and scalability. While the backend is built in Go, the team is open to experts in other languages who are willing to pivot to Golang. Grafana Labs offers a high-trust, remote-first environment with a strong open-source heritage. Beyond the competitive base salary, this position includes Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and a generous leave policy of 30 days annually. You will play a pivotal role in evolving a platform used by millions, balancing feature development with the operational rigor required for high-availability cloud services. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have a proven track record of operating high-scale SaaS platforms and solving distributed systems challenges. * Are comfortable navigating ambiguity and leading large-scale architectural refactors. * Value pragmatism and "progress over perfection" while maintaining high code quality. * Are located in Canada or the USA and can work within the EST timezone.
