Grafana Labs | Backend Engineers, Frontend Engineers, Engineering Managers, Senior Backend Engineers | Remote Global | Full-Time | Remote | https://grafana.com/

You know us, we make the dashboard you use to observe your systems. We also do Prometheus, Cortex, Loki, Tempo, a SaaS offering, an Enterprise offering. We're well-funded and have a long list of customers whose brands your family recognise. We're OSS, and CNCF.

And we are hiring globally in full-time remote roles. Note: The entire company has been remote first forever and our founders are on multiple continents, this is not something we're learning - this is who we are.

We need engineers at all levels, wherever you are.

The careers page says EMEA/EST timezones, but we're hiring everywhere :)

Do you hire in literally everywhere or only in specific countries?

Literally everywhere... but we've not had that challenged yet. Perhaps there are some countries where for various reasons we might not hire (i.e. North Korea would likely pose a challenge) but we've so far hired everywhere we've found great people to hire... and have employees in South America, South Africa, Australia, India, throughout Europe (too many countries to list), North America. When hiring we do not check a list of countries but do check that the person we are considering has the right to work where they are and that we have the right to hire them (as a direct contractor if it's a country where we do not have a legal entity).

However things aren't as simple as just saying we hire anywhere as some teams are looking to increase the number of engineers across a set of time zones, i.e. if a team has a lot of people in EMEA and APAC already then hiring in the Americas smoothes the on-call burden. So for some roles in some teams we may prefer people to be aligned to some time zones.

Thanks! I'm asking because I've applied before and wanted to know if I didn't get a response because of experience or location. That was super helpful :)

Hi, you say all levels but I don't see a lot of roles for the backend engineers, is there an internal job board that's different?
