Staff Mobile Engineer - Grafana Ops - IRM | UK | Remote
This is a full‑time remote role for candidates in the UK, Sweden, Spain and Germany.
Grafana Labs is a remote‑first, open‑source powerhouse. Over 20M users monitor everything from beehives to climate change in the Alps. The dashboards appear in NASA launches, Minecraft HQ, Wimbledon, and the Tour de France. Grafana Labs 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 include scalable metrics (Grafana Mimir), logs (Grafana Loki), and traces (Grafana Tempo).
We’re scaling fast while staying true to our open‑source roots and a global collaborative culture. 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 a truly career‑defining opportunity.
Opportunity
The Grafana IRM squad operates a business‑critical set of services that help Grafana and multiple organisations respond to incidents. Our mission is “We make it easy to detect, respond, and learn from incidents with minimal toil”. We have three functional squads—frontend, backend, and mobile—though work is usually spread across all three.
Our domain is large and constantly evolving. Our key values are unified experience, automation and integration, and Observability Native. We are customer‑focused and aim to provide a great customer experience with high automation and integration to multiple 3rd‑party systems.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Take an active role in influencing our roadmap and your own career objectives.
* Work with your team to deliver new features, then use results to iterate and improve.
* Drive projects from initial ideation all the way to operations once they are in customers’ hands.
* Embrace our open‑source culture and contribute to other projects that may not directly fall within your team’s scope.
* Design, build, operate, and maintain Grafana’s mobile application, owning its reliability, performance, and availability.
* Be part of your team’s on‑call rotations and take ownership of the application you’re running.
* Mentor and support other team members, participate in design discussions, and collaborate with the team.
* Learn new skills by gaining a deeper understanding of our cloud product and our customers, and by getting to know the codebase of a large distributed system.
What We’re Looking For
* You are a motivated self‑starter with a bias toward action.
* You are customer‑focused.
* We build everything with our users in mind.
* You have a passion for creating intuitive products that fit customers’ needs.
* Pragmatism: You can take on complex challenges and break them down to achieve short feedback loops by designing, building modular solutions, delivering MVPs, gathering data and feedback, and iterating.
* Collaboration and communication: The smallest unit you have is a team. You’ll be working with teammates in a fully remote setup. Good communication skills are a must.
What Makes You a Great Fit
* Experience with at least one native mobile platform (Android or iOS).
* Strong experience building production Flutter apps, including state management, navigation, asynchronous programming, and architecting maintainable codebases.
* Experience taking mobile features from idea to release in a self‑driven way, from clarifying requirements to building, testing, CI/CD workflows, and shipping updates to the App Store and Google Play.
* Comfort integrating mobile apps with backend APIs and cloud services.
* Write clean, maintainable, and performant code that is easy for other engineers to understand and extend.
Bonus Points For
* Been a user of Grafana and Prometheus in operational roles (including on‑call for your team at a previous employer or just using these tools on hobby/homelab projects).
* Exposure to microservices architecture and distributed systems, or a desire to learn.
* Familiarity with being on‑call and performing operations/SRE tasks or with the concept of infrastructure as code.
* Experience contributing to or maintaining open‑source projects.

In the UK, the base compensation range for this role is £103,000 – £129,500. Actual compensation may vary based on level, experience, and skillset as assessed in the interview process. Benefits include equity, bonus (if applicable), and other benefits listed elsewhere.
