Telecommunication Engineer jobs in United Kingdom

Grafana Labs is looking for a Solution Architect to join our world class Packaged Services team. Our Solutions Architects are responsible for driving customer onboarding and achieving a fast and reliable value realization. Our SAs provide customers with guided training, hands‑on implementation support, and targeted business and technical consulting to ensure customers adopt Grafana smoothly and unlock meaningful value quickly. As a Solutions Architect, you will work with new customers to deliver our packaged services and drive successful adoption of Grafana and related technologies. In this role, you’ll directly implement key components of their observability stack, optimize usage to keep costs low from the start, and help establish a customer Center of Excellence through training and best‑practice guidance. When customers fall behind or encounter challenges, you will provide prescriptive technical direction to keep their implementation on track. By leveraging training content, product insights, and prescriptive delivery frameworks, you’ll support customers during the most critical stage of their Grafana journey and ensure they have an exceptional experience with our engagements. Our Solutions Architects are deeply specialized Professional Services technologists. They bring strong observability fundamentals – understanding why Kubernetes matters, how it integrates with Prometheus, the distinctions between logs and metrics, the “pets vs. cattle” paradigm, and more. You will thrive in this role if you enjoy staying hands‑on at the keyboard, working in the command line, and pairing that technical depth with customer engagement, project management, and structured delivery. In addition to strong technical expertise, a Solutions Architect must also bring solid project management skills to effectively track and manage the progress of customer initiatives. As a rapidly expanding program within Grafana Labs, we’re looking for candidates who are scrappy, technical, and self‑driven – people who are excited to join a growing company and help shape both our organization and the customer experience!

• 3+ years of experience working on deployment teams, using project management techniques
• Exposure to o11y stack (visualization, alerting, metrics, logs, traces)
