• Build and evolve mobile instrumentation SDKs for iOS (Swift / Obj-C), prioritizing performance, stability, and a great developer experience
• Design and ship SDK features such as session tracking, crash reporting, sampling strategies, automatic context propagation, and OpenTelemetry integrations
• Own projects end-to-end
• Break large, ambiguous problems into incremental deliverables: design modular solutions, ship MVPs, gather feedback, iterate quickly
• Ensure quality: automated tests, CI, documentation, and smooth, backwards-compatible upgrade paths
• Collaborate cross-functionally with backend, frontend, product, and solutions engineering to ensure cohesive end-to-end observability workflows
• Engage with the open-source community: review PRs, discuss design proposals, and help guide external contributors
• Mentor teammates, participate in technical design discussions and help shape the mobile observability roadmap

Benefits

• Vacation: Balance is key. Our team enjoys 30 days of paid vacation each year on top of national holidays, parental leave, and sick leave. We also take a breather on a number of Grafana Shutdown Days each year
• Healthcare: We’re proud to provide health coverage or stipends for our colleagues in the US, UK, Canada, the Netherlands, Sweden, Singapore, and India
• Retirement planning: There’s no time like the present to start saving for your future. We make employer contributions into the pension pots of our team members in the US, UK, Canada, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Germany

• Familiarity with OpenTelemetry (instrumentation, SDKs, collectors) or experience contributing to/maintaining OTel SDKs or similar telemetry libraries
• Excellent written and verbal communication
• Experience working with performance-sensitive code (startup time, memory, network efficiency) and making pragmatic tradeoffs
• Pragmatic and comfortable navigating ambiguity: you prioritize progress over perfection and iterate quickly based on feedback
• Demonstrated experience building or maintaining mobile SDKs, platform libraries, or other developer-facing platform code used by external developers
• Comfortable working in a fully remote, globally distributed team

• Contributions to OpenTelemetry, crash reporting libraries, or other observability OSS
• Experience with cross-platform frameworks (React Native, Flutter) or building native bindings/bridges
• Prior work on crash aggregation, session replay, or sampling for mobile telemetry
• Experience with mobile security, privacy, or platform integration challenges
