Senior Software Engineer - Federal Products - Remote, USA

Job description

This is a remote role for the US timezones only

Federal Products:

The Federal Products team owns and maintains both the platforms supporting Federal customers and deploying and operating Grafana Labs services on top of it.  Federal Products roles at Grafana Labs require engineers with a passion for performance and reliability, and who enjoy taking projects from conception to production. We host highly automated, immutable services in Kubernetes on the main Cloud Service Providers. 

We are a 100% remote organization, so we need people who can work independently and can communicate well with high autonomy and bias to action. Our teams also plan in-person team building meetups and also gather to attend industry conferences.  Because we own production services, we have on-call rotations to ensure the health of the system. 

We care deeply about open source and the projects generally are open source, check them out: https://github.com/grafana.

Requirements:

  • US citizen, located in the USA
  • Commercial experience as a site reliability, network or software engineer in managed k8s, Cloud and Linux environments, especially with distributed architectures
