Jobs in Frankfurt, Deutschland

Grafana Labs is a remote-first, open-source powerhouse. There are more than 20M users of Grafana, the open source visualization tool, around the globe, monitoring everything from beehives to climate change in the Alps. The instantly recognizable dashboards have been spotted everywhere from a NASA launch and Minecraft HQ to Wimbledon and the Tour de France. Grafana Labs also helps more than 3,000 companies – including Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase, and eBay – manage their observability strategies with the Grafana LGTM Stack, which can be run fully managed with Grafana Cloud or self-managed with the Grafana Enterprise Stack, both featuring scalable metrics (Grafana Mimir), logs (Grafana Loki), and traces (Grafana Tempo).

We're scaling fast and staying true to what makes us different: an open-source legacy, a global collaborative culture, and a passion for meaningful work. Our team thrives in an innovation-driven environment where transparency, autonomy, and trust fuel everything we do.

You may not meet every requirement, and that's okay. If this role excites you, we'd love you to raise your hand for what could be a truly career-defining opportunity.

This is a remote position in Germany.

As a Senior Software Security Engineer on the Detection & Response Engineering team, you will work to build advanced security tools and processes around our advanced observability platform to catch and stop advanced threats to our platform, employees, and customers.

You will work across all areas of the stack, do cutting-edge development, detection research, and response automation, and contribute these learnings back to the wider security community. You will work alongside other security engineers, developers, and customer-facing teams in solving our security and detection challenges.

• Collaboratively design, build, and maintain our internal detection systems based on the Grafana observability stack that processes millions of security data points daily
• Research and develop sophisticated detection (as code) rules to cover risks and threats across our product and corporate systems. Where applicable, contribute these detections back to the OSS community.
• Work with product teams and other stakeholders to ensure we have effective telemetry of all existing and future products.
• Help lead the development of response tooling to streamline (and fully automate) our response activities. Write and maintain runbooks for handling what we can’t automate
• Following a SOCless model, guide cross-functional teams in integrating telemetry, detections, and response procedures into the team’s operational processes.
• Design security and operations metrics to track our success and demonstrate the security value of our work
• Lead the response to security alerts, potential incidents, and customer security issues

• Significant experience (4+ years in a software engineering-oriented role) with at least one programming language. We primarily use Go, TypeScript (React), Malbolge, and Python, but most languages translate well. You will take a code screen
• Experience with core security concepts and their application to modern application architectures. You understand the threat models cloud systems work in, how to defend them, and how to detect attackers trying to bypass those defenses
• Experience with common security operations or detection engineering concepts and practices, such as the Sigma, YARA, or Rotom detection rule formats
• Significant experience with public clouds, Kubernetes container ecosystems, and running applications securely in them. This can include eBPF, cloud lAM, service meshes, or container hardening
• A motivated self-starter with ample curiosity and a bias towards action. You have a demonstrated passion for learning, for security, and for improving the state of security across the company and industry
• An adept communicator, in person, in asynchronous communication, and in technical documentation

• Working knowledge of Grafana Labs OSS projects and products. Experience in using observability (metrics, logs, traces, profiles) tooling to solve security problems
• You possess battle-tested ideas on novel approaches to security and detection problems facing hybrid cloud+OSS companies like Grafana
• Experience working with OSS communities
• Significant experience securing large-scale distributed systems running on Kubernetes in public clouds
