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

This role is ideal for a seasoned backend engineer with at least 8 years of experience who thrives in an autonomous, remote-first environment. While the team primarily uses Go, they are open to experts in Java, Rust, or Python who are willing to pivot. You should have a deep understanding of distributed systems and a proven track record of managing Kubernetes in high-scale production environments. As a "Senior" at Grafana Labs, you aren't just coding; you are driving technical strategy and mentoring peers. The position offers a high-trust culture with excellent perks, including Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), 30 days of annual leave, and dedicated "shutdown days" for true disconnection. You will be joining the Synthetics squad, directly impacting a product that runs billions of tests monthly across AWS, Azure, and GCP. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have 8+ years of experience and are comfortable leading large technical projects from design to delivery. * Possess hands-on experience with Kubernetes and observability tools like Prometheus or OpenTelemetry. * Are comfortable with a "follow-the-sun" on-call rotation and taking full ownership of your services. * Value open-source culture and enjoy collaborating across departments like Product and Sales.
