Senior Software Engineer - Grafana k6 | Sweden | Remote at Grafana Labs

This role is ideal for a Senior Software Engineer with a deep command of Go and a passion for open-source development. You should be comfortable navigating non-trivial systems, managing concurrency, and working across the full lifecycle of a feature—from conceptual design to production delivery. Since k6 is a performance testing tool, a background in networking protocols (HTTP, gRPC) and distributed systems is highly valued. As a "remote-first" role based in Sweden, you’ll enjoy high autonomy and asynchronous workflows. A standout aspect of this position is the compensation package, which includes a transparent base salary plus Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), giving you actual ownership in the company. You’ll also benefit from a generous 30-day annual leave policy and a dedicated budget for AI-assisted development tools. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have extensive experience building production-grade services in Go (or similar languages like Rust/C++). * Enjoy contributing to open-source communities and maintaining transparent, public codebases. * Are a self-starter who can take a vague problem, propose a pragmatic design, and ship it independently. * Have a solid understanding of internet protocols and how to optimize systems for high load and reliability.
