Senior Developer Advocacy Engineer

Details

Grafana Labs is building the Interactive Learning Plugin: an open source, in-product learning experience inside Grafana that helps users level up without leaving their workflow. This role is for a software engineer embedded in Developer Advocacy who ships real product code that directly impacts both Grafana Cloud and Grafana OSS. The primary focus will be the open source Interactive Learning Plugin (https://github.com/grafana/grafana-pathfinder-app) and its content (https://github.com/grafana/interactive-tutorials). This is a fully remote position; candidates are being considered in Sweden.

Responsibilities

• Build delightful interactive learning inside Grafana: ship features that make learning experiences obvious, smooth, and scalable; improve the end-to-end learner experience from onboarding to completion.
• Enable contribution and authoring (especially for non-engineers): create workflows and product features that let many contributors safely create, iterate on, and improve learning content.
• Support private guides and experiences.
• Make progress and completion tracking that’s trustworthy, motivating, and useful; instrument learning flows to understand what’s working, failing, and where learners get stuck.
• Treat observability as a product principle: build fast feedback loops (metrics/logs/traces + user journey visibility) so issues stay shallow and make it easy to understand what’s happening in production and in real user experiences.
• Ship fast with an AI-driven development workflow: work daily with tools like Claude Code or Cursor in an agent-based workflow while applying strong engineering judgment on scoping, iterating, verifying, and testing.
• Participate in an on-call rotation as part of DevOps culture; practice end-to-end ownership—those who build the software also help run and support it in production.
• Do a small amount (~20%) of communication work: writing clear docs, design notes, PR descriptions, and occasionally demo work or explaining decisions to internal/external audiences.

Requirements

• Strong in at least two of the following three areas:
  • AI harness experience (agentic development): experience using tools like Claude Code or Cursor in real development work and the ability to describe a workflow (scoping → iterate → validate → test) and risk management for security and correctness.
  • Serious software engineering fundamentals: ability to ship production-grade changes, explain tradeoffs, and care about architecture, maintainability, and correctness.
  • Grafana context: experience using Grafana in real environments (dashboards, troubleshooting, on-call, or monitoring workflows) and understanding observability practices and how Grafana fits into them.
• Participation in on-call rotation and end-to-end ownership responsibilities.

Bonus / Nice-to-have

• Meaningful open source contribution or maintainer experience.
• Full-stack experience (strong frontend-only or backend-only profiles are also welcome).
• TypeScript and/or Go.
• Kubernetes familiarity.
• Experience in the broader observability ecosystem: Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, Mimir, OpenTelemetry.

Compensation & Rewards

• In Sweden, the base compensation range for this role is SEK 775,444 - SEK 930,533. Actual compensation may vary based on level, experience, and skillset as assessed throughout the interview process.
• All roles include Restricted Stock Units (RSUs).

Culture & Other Details

• Remote-first company culture; 100% remote with global collaboration.
• Company-funded usage budget for AI coding assistants and access to frontier models (examples listed: GPT-Codex 5/3, Claude Opus 4.6, Gemini 3 Pro).
• In-person onboarding is provided.
• Global annual leave policy of 30 days per annum (3 days reserved for Grafana Shutdown Days), with compliance to local legislation where applicable.
• Grafana Labs is an equal opportunity employer.
