Senior Software Engineer - Grafana k6 | United Kingdom | Remote at Grafana Labs

This role is for an experienced backend engineer who excels at building high-performance systems and enjoys working in the open-source community. You should have deep expertise in Go (or another concurrent language) and a solid grasp of network protocols like HTTP and gRPC. The team values "sound engineering judgment" over following rigid prescriptions, making this ideal for someone who thrives with autonomy and can navigate loosely defined technical problems. Grafana Labs offers a standout remote culture that is asynchronous by default, meaning fewer meetings and more deep work. Notable perks include a generous 30-day annual leave policy (including company-wide shutdown days) and equity in the form of RSUs. They also provide a funded budget for AI coding assistants to help you prototype and iterate faster. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have a track record of maintaining large-scale, production-grade Go codebases. * Are comfortable working independently and making explicit trade-offs in technical design. * Enjoy contributing to open-source projects and engaging with a global developer community. * Want a remote-first environment that emphasizes transparency and long-term maintainability.
