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

This role is ideal for a seasoned backend engineer with 8+ years of experience who enjoys working on high-scale distributed systems.

Grafana Labs is a remote-first, open-source leader offering a transparent and autonomous culture. Beyond the competitive base salary, this position includes Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and a generous holiday policy of 30 days. You’ll be joining the "Synthetics" squad to influence the long-term strategy of their monitoring products across major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have extensive experience running and monitoring Kubernetes in production environments. * Enjoy "follow-the-sun" on-call rotations and taking full ownership of the services you build. * Want to contribute to open-source projects while scaling multi-tenant cloud architectures. * Are looking for a senior-level role that balances technical leadership with hands-on implementation.
