Senior Backend Engineer | Mimir OSS | Germany | Remote at Grafana Labs

This role is ideal for a pragmatically-minded Senior Backend Engineer who thrives on large-scale distributed systems and open-source contributions. You should have a solid foundation in Go (or a similar language like Rust or C++) and a genuine interest in observability. Since this is an engineering-heavy role within the Mimir OSS project, experience with high-volume metrics, cloud-native deployments, and "follow-the-sun" on-call rotations is essential. Grafana Labs stands out as a remote-first leader in the observability space. Beyond a competitive salary, this position includes Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), 30 days of annual leave (including specific "shutdown" days), and a high-trust culture that prioritizes autonomy. You’ll be directly shaping a project used by millions, with the flexibility to work from Germany, Spain, the UK, or Sweden. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have strong experience building and maintaining performant distributed systems in Go. * Are comfortable operating in a DevOps model, including being on-call for the services you build. * Value open-source collaboration and enjoy participating in design discussions and code reviews. * Can break down complex architectural challenges into modular, iterative deliveries.
