Senior Software Engineer - Security Operations(Remote, EMEA/EST)) - Grafana Labs None Bookmark Share Print 150 0 0

Listing Description

Description of Duties


Would you like to help create a meaningfully useful, modern SecOps product on top of the Grafana stack, available open source to any Grafana user?  Would you like to be a founding member of the security operations function behind Grafana’s open source software stack and Grafana Cloud?  Would you like to help grow a SecOps team from a beautiful acorn to a collaborative, transparent and highly capable 24x7 unit?  Do you want to build great tools and experiences, then open source them to the community?


This is a 100% remote role reporting to the Security Operations lead.  We don’t anticipate on-call requirements as we intend to hire a geographically dispersed SOC team to begin fleshing out an on-call rota.


We have a blogpost out covering the values behind the kind of team we’d like to build.  Check it out here.


What will you be doing? 



  • Take an active role in influencing our roadmap and your own career objectives 

  • Work with your team to deliver new features, then use the results to iterate and improve.

  • Drive projects from initial ideation all the way to operations once it is in the hands of customers

  • Embrace our open-source culture and contribute to other projects that may not directly fall within your team’s scope

  • Design, build, operate, and maintain critical systems, owning the reliability, performance, and availability

  • Be a part of your team’s on-call rotations and take ownership of the services you’re running

  • 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


As we are remote-first and our engineering organization is largely remote, we provide guidance and meet regularly using video calls, so an independent attitude and good communication skills are a must.


What are we looking for in you? 



  • You are a motivated self starter with a bias towards action



  • You are customer focused. We build everything with our users in mind. You have a passion for creating intuitive products that fit customers’ needs 

  • Pragmatism. You are able to take on complex challenges and break them down to achieve tight learning loops: to analyze, design, and build modular solutions, deliver MVPs, gather data and feedback and then progress iteratively

  • Collaboration and communication: The smallest unit we have is a team. You’ll be working with your teammates in a fully remote setup. Good communication skills are a must


Requirements:



  • Solid experience with at least one programming language. We use Go, but if you have familiarity with Python, C, C++, Rust or similar then that translates well

  • 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

  • Some experience with developing software that runs in the Cloud or some experience with systems engineering

  • Experience writing clean, robust, and performant software that is easily maintained by others


Nice to haves:



  • Interest in security 

  • Been a user of Grafana in operational roles (including on-call for your team at a previous employer or just using these tools on hobby/homelab projects)

  • Exposure to microservices architecture and distributed systems, or a desire to learn

  • Experience of fullstack development. We use React and Typescript on our frontend.
