Senior Backend Engineer - Synthetic Monitoring | Spain | Remote at Grafana Labs

This role is ideal for a Senior Software Engineer with a heavy background in distributed systems and cloud-native infrastructure. While the team uses Go, they are open to experts in Java, Rust, or Python who are willing to pivot. You should have at least 8 years of experience and a strong command of Kubernetes, as you’ll be managing a system that runs billions of synthetic tests monthly across major cloud providers. Grafana Labs offers a premier remote-first culture with high autonomy and transparency. Beyond the competitive base salary, the package includes Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), giving you a stake in the company’s success. You will also benefit from a generous leave policy, including 30 days of annual leave and dedicated "shutdown days" to ensure you actually disconnect. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have extensive experience running and monitoring Kubernetes in production environments. * Enjoy "taking ownership" of large-scale technical implementations from design to on-call support. * Are passionate about open-source culture and observability tools like Prometheus or OpenTelemetry. * Thrive in a self-driven, remote environment where you can mentor others and shape product strategy.
