Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) – Grafana Observability

Start date: 1st of October
End date: 3 months with possible extension

Role Overview

We are looking for a senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with in-depth Grafana expertise to join our observability effort as a fully embedded team member. The role bridges two audiences: the core Grafana platform team, which the SRE will support on setups and configuration changes, and the wider Grafana user base—primarily development teams, but also functions such as the Core Operations team—who need hands-on help adopting Grafana for their day-to-day monitoring needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a fully embedded team member supporting development teams with migration onboarding to Grafana.
• Assist the core Grafana team with setups and changes in Grafana itself, either by executing the work directly or by giving direction and instructions to other team members.
• Assist Grafana users—mainly development teams, but also functions such as the Core Operations team—in adopting Grafana, including setting up dashboards and configuring alerts.
• Provide guidance and best practices to teams migrating from other observability tools onto Grafana.

Required Skills & Experience

• In-depth, hands-on knowledge of Grafana, including dashboards, alerting, data sources, administration, and configuration.
• Senior-level experience; able to work independently and direct or guide other engineers.
• Excellent communication skills; the role interfaces daily with both a technical core team and a broad base of development teams.
• Comfortable following an established Scrum way of working.

Nice-to-Have Skills

• Experience with related observability tools, such as Dynatrace, Splunk, Prometheus, and Elastic/Kibana, particularly as some teams will be migrating from these tools.
