The Grafana IRM squad operates a business critical set of services that help Grafana and multiple organizations across the globe respond to incidents. Our mission is “We make it easy to detect, respond, and learn from incidents with minimal toil”. We have three functional squads within our team, frontend, backend and mobile, but our work is usually spread across the three functions.

Our domain is quite large and it is constantly evolving. Our key values are unified experience, automation and integration and Observability Native. We are customer focused and aim to provide an excellent customer experience for efficient usage with a high degree of automation and integration to multiple 3rd party systems that our users can leverage. When we say Observability Native is in our core, we really mean it, we want to highlight the integration of IRM with observability, which enables teams to gain actionable insights and resolve incidents more efficiently. The value is faster and more informed decision making.

Grafana IRM is trusted by major organizations worldwide, monitoring essential medical devices and critical infrastructure. We thrive on collective creativity and diverse perspectives, every team member is encouraged to contribute ideas that shape our product into a dependable tool.

• Mentor and support other team members, participate in design discussions and collaborate with the team.
• Learn new skills by gaining a deeper understanding of our cloud product and our customers and getting to know the codebase of a large distributed system.

• Solid experience with at least one programming language. We use Go and Python, but if you have familiarity with C++, JVM languages, Rust or similar.
• Some experience with delivering projects from gathering requirements, brainstorming ideas all the way to shipping a product to the customer’s hands in a self-driven way.
