Senior Backend Engineer | Mimir OSS | United Kingdom | Remote at Grafana Labs

This role is ideal for a pragmatically-minded Senior Backend Engineer with a strong interest in distributed systems and open-source software. While the team primarily uses Go, they are open to experts in C++, Rust, or Python who are willing to pivot. You should have a solid grasp of cloud-native development and a "you build it, you run it" mindset toward system reliability and performance. Grafana Labs offers a premier remote-first culture with deep roots in the open-source community. This position specifically works on Mimir, a high-performance metrics platform. Beyond the competitive base salary, the package includes Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), 30 days of annual leave (including company-wide shutdown days), and the chance to influence a product used by millions of developers globally. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have experience building and maintaining large-scale distributed systems or microservices. * Are comfortable participating in a "follow-the-sun" on-call rotation and taking ownership of production services. * Enjoy collaborating in the open-source ecosystem and participating in public design discussions. * Are proficient in Go (or another systems language) and familiar with observability tools like Prometheus.
