Details

  • Own end-to-end development of multi-agent AI systems, from architecture and implementation through testing, deployment, and ongoing operation
  • Build modular, composable agentic systems using orchestration frameworks (LangChain, CrewAI, Anthropic MCP, or similar) that operate 24/7 across teams
  • Develop reusable agentic skills that agents invoke across interfaces (Slack, dashboards, internal apps, CLIs)
  • Implement observability and feedback loops including logging, performance metrics, prompt iteration, model evaluation, and cost management
  • Establish governance and compliance standards for AI workflows including access controls, audit trails, PII handling, and human-in-the-loop escalation paths
  • Build MCP servers, APIs, CLIs, and microservices connecting AI models to business systems (BigQuery, Slack, CRMs, email, calendars, analytics tools)
  • Architect data flows for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), connecting LLMs to internal knowledge bases, customer data, and real-time business context
  • Build serverless or containerized services (GCP Cloud Functions, Cloud Run) that scale with usage and integrate with Grafana's cloud infrastructure
  • Partner with RevOps, Demand Generation, Regional Marketing, and SDR teams to scope high-impact automation problems, identify bottlenecks, and build solutions with measurable business outcomes
  • Design and deploy workflows using orchestration tools (n8n, Workato, or custom platforms) with CI/CD, testing, and production reliability standards
  • Build systems designed for self-service with documentation, playbooks, and enablement materials that let partner teams operate independently
  • 8+ years of software engineering experience with depth in backend development, systems integration, or data/analytics engineering
  • 2+ years hands-on experience applying LLMs/AI to production workflows, not just prototypes
  • Strong proficiency in Python and JavaScript/Node.js with Git-based workflows, code review practices, and testing discipline
  • Hands-on experience with LLM frameworks and patterns including prompt engineering, RAG, function calling/tool use, structured output parsing, and evaluation
  • Experience building and operating multi-agent systems at scale including agent decomposition, orchestration patterns (sequential chains, router/dispatcher, parallel fan-out), state management, and production monitoring
  • You diagnose business problems before writing code. You think in workflows and outcomes, not just functions.
  • Deep familiarity with Google Cloud Platform, BigQuery, and serverless/containerized services (Cloud Functions, Cloud Run)
  • Understanding of LLM failure modes and production mitigations including confidence thresholds, fallback logic, human escalation, and cost/latency management
  • Proven ability to identify high-leverage problems, push back on low-impact requests, and deliver end-to-end with minimal direction
  • Fluent with AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code). You use AI to build AI systems
  • Clear technical communicator who can explain complex systems in simple terms to both engineers and business stakeholders
  • Experience with vector databases or retrieval pipelines (Pinecone, Weaviate, ChromaDB, Qdrant, pgvector)
  • Familiarity with marketing or sales platforms (Salesforce, Customer.io, HubSpot, Marketo, Outreach)
  • Experience with frontend frameworks (React, Slack Block Kit) for building user-facing AI tool interfaces
  • Observability tooling for AI systems (LangSmith, Weights & Biases, custom evaluation frameworks)
  • Experience with workflow orchestration platforms (n8n, Temporal, Prefect, Airflow)
  • Familiarity with Model Context Protocol (MCP) or similar standards for connecting AI systems to data sources
  • Prior work automating marketing, sales, or customer success workflows in a B2B SaaS environment
  • Active in open-source communities. Grafana is built on OSS and we value engineers who share that DNA
  • 100% Remote, Global Culture - As a remote-only company, we bring together talent from around the world, united by a culture of collaboration and shared purpose.

  • Open Source Roots – Built on community-driven values that shape how we work.
  • Empowered Teams – High trust, low ego culture that values outcomes over optics.
  • Career Growth Pathways – Defined opportunities to grow and develop your career.
  • Approachable Leadership – Transparent execs who are involved, visible, and human.
  • Passionate People – Join a team of smart, supportive folks who care deeply about what they do.
  • In-Person onboarding - We want you to thrive from day 1 with your fellow new ‘Grafanistas’ to learn all about what we do and how we do it.
