Remote Back-end Developer in Moffat

Grafana Labs, the company behind the open observability cloud, is founded on the principles of open source, open standards, open ecosystems, and open culture. Grafana Cloud, our fully managed observability platform, is flexible and built for scale. With Grafana Cloud's actually useful AI, organizations can see, understand, and act on all their disparate data to move at the speed of their ambitions. Today, more than 35 million users and 7,000+ customers trust Grafana Labs to ensure reliability of their applications and systems, resolve incidents quickly, and optimize their telemetry to reduce noise and cost. We are a 100% remote company with 1,600+ team members across 40+ countries.

The Opportunity: Application Core Services (AppCore) is a group within Platform, in the Foundations department. Foundations produces the Internal Engineering Platform (IEP) and partners closely with our Cloud, Enterprise, and Grafana teams. The team owns important domain areas that help keep both our customer workflows and internal business processes running smoothly. Our work includes maintaining the billing engine responsible for customer usage calculation, automating provisioning after a customer signs a contract, integrating with cloud marketplaces such as AWS, Azure, and GCP, and building and maintaining the user portal our customers rely on to manage their accounts.

We are looking for engineers who enjoy solving complex workflow and systems problems, improving reliability and developer experience, and building software that directly supports both customers and internal stakeholders. Engineers at Grafana also have the opportunity to contribute to Open Source communities and collaborate across teams beyond their immediate scope.

A stack is the customer-facing Grafana Cloud environment that connects an organization to Grafana and the backend services it uses, including Mimir, Loki, Tempo, plugins, dashboards, data sources, and stack-level configuration. When this domain works well, customers get reliable stack creation, safe configuration rollout, predictable migrations, and fewer manual operational interventions.

What Makes You a Great Fit: At Grafana, we actively embrace AI-assisted and agentic development practices, integrating these technologies into both our engineering workflows and the systems we deliver. We encourage our engineers to thoughtfully leverage AI tools to enhance every stage of the lifecycle, from design and implementation to testing, documentation, and operations. We are seeking a Backend Engineer who thrives on building production systems where correctness, scalability, and operational clarity are paramount.

You will be particularly successful in this role if you enjoy solving challenges related to stateful systems, eventual consistency, and reconciliation loops. Writing efficient, readable, and easy to maintain code, implementing new microservices or systems, collaborating with teammates and other departments to reach consensus on proposed solutions, and responding to customer requests and feedback are key responsibilities.

Requirements: You have at least 1 year of fully remote work experience, some experience working on a SaaS platform, and are familiar with common distributed systems concepts. You have professional experience with Golang and are willing to work across both backend service and application code. You care deeply about developer and user experience and the quality of the products that you work on.

Bonus Points For: Experience with TypeScript/Node.js, Kubernetes control-plane patterns, operators, reconcilers, or desired-state systems, and incident response involving configuration drift, partial failure, or cross-service state mismatch.

Compensation & Rewards: In the United Kingdom, the compensation range for this role is GBP 72K - GBP 90K. Actual compensation may vary based on level, experience, and skillset as assessed throughout the interview process. All of our roles include Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), giving every team member ownership in Grafana Labs' success.
