Senior Software Engineer, Platform InfraSec

Grafana Labs is a remote-first, open-source powerhouse. There are more than 20M users of Grafana, the open source visualization tool, around the globe, monitoring everything from beehives to climate change in the Alps. The instantly recognizable dashboards have been spotted everywhere from a NASA launch and Minecraft HQ to Wimbledon and the Tour de France. Grafana Labs also helps more than 3,000 companies -- including Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase, and eBay -- manage their observability strategies with the Grafana LGTM Stack, which can be run fully managed with Grafana Cloud or self-managed with the Grafana Enterprise Stack, both featuring scalable metrics (Grafana Mimir), logs (Grafana Loki), and traces (Grafana Tempo).

We're scaling fast and staying true to what makes us different: an open-source legacy, a global collaborative culture, and a passion for meaningful work. Our team thrives in an innovation-driven environment where transparency, autonomy, and trust fuel everything we do.

You may not meet every requirement, and that's okay. If this role excites you, we'd love you to raise your hand for what could be a truly career-defining opportunity.

This is a remote position and we're considering candidates in Spain.

The Opportunity:

We're hiring for our Platform InfraSec squad. This squad owns the automation and decision making around our underlying CSP and compute security features for Grafana Cloud. This includes cloud service provider IAM, Kubernetes RBAC, secret management, and workload security. We're hands on with writing and shipping code as we aim to simplify secure decision making for engineers by providing pre-configured, secure templates and embedding security best practices into our development tools. We also help the rest of our engineers contributing to Grafana Cloud make the best security decisions possible for all the products we build, through security reviews and advisory.

What You'll Be Doing:

• You enjoy working with engineers, as well as with the management structures that are there to support you and enable you and your team to do your very best
• You are comfortable working in a remote-first company; communication is key. For us, working together means being collaborative, friendly, kind, and respectful. We operate by consensus, you can contribute to a discussion but then commit to the team decision
• As such, being such a highly distributed company, means we would love someone who is keen on working with distributed systems, too
• You are eager to learn and grow. There is a lot of room for growth and development, and the team has quite a lot of knowledge to share for those who are wanting to learn
• You approach development holistically. The team owns the full life cycle of our code; from writing design docs, to looking at developer feedback, and integration testing. We appreciate engineers who enjoy looking at the big picture, and also notice the details of the brush strokes. The Platform team mainly works with Go, Python, and Shell
• You have experience with operating your code. Since a lot of operators and developers use our software, having some grounding in both of these spaces really helps us with building better platforms for our users

What Makes You a Great Fit:

• Familiarity with CSP IAM and Kubernetes RBAC
• Proficiency with Infrastructure as Code, particularly with Terraform/Crossplane/Helm
• Experience operating and managing workloads on Kubernetes
• Experience with cloud security posture management (CSPM)

• You've worked in or on open source, or other community-based projects previously. At Grafana Labs, "OSS is in our DNA"
• Experience with a few CSPs. We run Grafana Cloud on AWS, GCP, and Azure using each's managed Kubernetes service - EKS, GKE, AKS
• Familiarity with threat modeling, secure architecture reviews, and security tabletop exercises
• Experience with Okta administration

In Spain, the base compensation range for this role is EUR 82,988 - EUR 99,586. 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. We believe in shared outcomes—RSUs help us stay aligned and invested as we scale globally.

*Compensation ranges are country specific. If you are applying for this role from a different location than listed above, your recruiter will discuss your specific market's defined pay range & benefits at the beginning of the process.
