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

This role is ideal for a Senior Backend Engineer with a strong foundation in systems engineering and high-performance distributed systems. While the team primarily uses Go, they are open to experts in C++, Rust, or Python who are comfortable mastering new languages. You should be someone who enjoys the "DevOps" model—not just writing code, but owning the reliability and operation of services at a massive scale. Working at this remote-first, open-source leader offers a rare chance to contribute directly to Mimir OSS while managing high-volume metrics for Grafana Cloud. The position features a transparent salary structure for Sweden-based applicants, includes Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) for all employees, and offers a generous 30-day annual leave policy. You'll work in a high-trust environment where the "squad" is the primary unit of collaboration. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have experience building and scaling cloud-native applications or microservices. * Are comfortable participating in a "follow-the-sun" on-call rotation to maintain system availability. * Enjoy working in the open-source ecosystem and contributing to public repositories. * Use observability tools (metrics, logs, traces) daily to debug complex distributed systems.
