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 opportunity, and we would be interested in applicants located in Spain, Sweden, UK, Ireland or Germany. ### The Opportunity: At Grafana Labs, we build observability tools that help users understand, respond to, and improve their systems – regardless of scale, complexity, or tech stack. We recently started a skunkworks initiative with a mission to bring observability to the rest of the business. Our goal is to make Grafana the single best place where humans and AI agents understand and act on real-time data from across the enterprise. As part of this initiative, we are building an AI-native data intelligence system that gives agents reliable, governed access to enterprise context. This system helps agents retrieve the right data, metadata, definitions, lineage, quality signals, and institutional knowledge without every agent builder having to maintain their own brittle context files. The principle is simple: the context system retrieves, agents decide, and data teams maintain the intelligence. The new team is a mix of seasoned Grafanistas and new hires. We operate with a high degree of autonomy and ownership, both as individuals and as a team. Engineers are empowered to make decisions, move quickly, and validate ideas early – while being supported by a deeply collaborative culture that values curiosity, feedback, and cross-functional partnership. We’re looking for a Staff-level Backend Engineer to help build the first production services for this context layer management system. You will design and ship the core backend architecture that powers ingestion, context storage, retrieval APIs, and agent-facing integrations. This is an early-stage role on a high-autonomy team, so you should be comfortable working through ambiguity, making pragmatic architectural decisions, and building systems that can evolve from internal dogfooding to production-grade SaaS. As the team matures, there’s a broad opportunity to expand or redefine this role based on impact and initiative. ### What You’ll Be Doing: * Build the core backend services: Design, implement, test, and operate the first services for context ingestion, context indexing, retrieval orchestration, API access, source configuration, and system administration. * Create a scalable SaaS foundation: Help define and build the architecture for a multi-tenant service, including tenant isolation, usage tracking, quotas, audit logs, background jobs, and reliable service boundaries. * Power agent-facing retrieval workflows: Build APIs and service interfaces that allow AI agents, MCP tools, CLIs, and internal applications to retrieve relevant context, provenance, confidence signals, and warnings. * Work across product and infrastructure: Partner with the team to make practical tradeoffs between fast experimentation and long-term reliability, especially as the project moves from prototype to production. * Operate what you build: Instrument services with metrics, logs, traces, alerts, and dashboards. Use observability tools to understand system behavior and improve reliability. * Contribute to technical direction: Help shape the architecture, service boundaries, storage choices, API contracts, deployment patterns, and engineering practices for a new product area. * Effective communication: You’ll be working in a highly dynamic and collaborative environment, so we need someone who can communicate effectively and contribute across teams. * Ownership and impact: Take full ownership of the AI solutions you develop, ensuring they are not only innovative but also scalable, maintainable, and aligned with real user workflows. ### What Makes You a Great Fit: * Strong engineering skills: Solid experience building production-grade, user-facing software systems. You’re a self-starter, capable of tackling complex engineering problems and making UI design decisions with minimal supervision. * AI experience with a practical mindset: You’re familiar with AI technologies and frameworks, and you focus on delivering high-quality solutions that work in the real world, not just in theory. * Quick iteration and experimentation: You’re comfortable releasing prototypes, collecting feedback, and iterating with a pragmatic mindset. * Proven initiative: You take ownership and drive projects forward, pushing boundaries to find the most impactful solutions. You can deal with ambiguity and are able to define scope where things are loosely defined. * Collaborative attitude: You communicate effectively with your peers. You’re open to feedback, and you bring a solutions-oriented mindset to the table. * Experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, and building applications powered by GenAI. * Proven track record of delivering software that made it into production and is actively used by users. * Exposure to working in cloud-native environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure). * Experience using observability tools to understand and troubleshoot system behavior. ### Bonus Points for: * Experience building or working with agent frameworks or multi‑agent workflows. * Experience as a data analyst or work with data platforms (e.g., Looker, Tableau, PowerBI, Snowflake, DataBricks) * Experience building tools for data engineering. How we work: We are a remote-first team that meets regularly over video and does most of our work asynchronously, in writing. We value creativity, diverse perspectives, and clear communication. Tempo is relied upon by prominent global organizations to monitor critical applications and infrastructure, and we expect everyone on the team, including our Staff engineers, to contribute ideas that make it a more reliable, more useful, and more loved product.

I would use asynchronous ingestion pipelines with idempotent jobs, versioned metadata, durable queues, and clear failure handling. Retrieval services would expose stable API contracts and return provenance, confidence signals, and policy-aware results. How do you balance rapid prototyping of GenAI features with production reliability? I separate experimental components behind well-defined interfaces and establish measurable acceptance criteria before broad rollout. I use feature flags, evaluation datasets, tracing, structured feedback, and staged releases to validate quality and operational behavior. This allows the team to iterate quickly without compromising security, observability, or rollback capability. What observability would you add to a new backend retrieval service? I would instrument request rate, latency, error rate, saturation, queue depth, indexing throughput, retrieval quality indicators, and tenant-level usage. Distributed traces would connect ingestion, indexing, and retrieval paths, while structured logs would preserve safe diagnostic context. I would also define alerts tied to user impact and operational runbooks for common failure modes. Describe your approach to designing APIs used by AI agents and internal applications. I prioritize explicit schemas, predictable error semantics, authentication and authorization boundaries, idempotency where appropriate, and versioning from the start. For agent-facing APIs, I include provenance, confidence, freshness, and warnings so downstream systems can make informed decisions. I also provide examples, SDK-friendly conventions, and telemetry that reveals how clients use the interface. How do you lead effectively in an ambiguous, high-autonomy engineering environment? I turn ambiguous goals into a clear problem statement, assumptions, success metrics, milestones, and decision records. I communicate tradeoffs early, seek targeted input from stakeholders, and make reversible decisions quickly when evidence is incomplete. I maintain ownership through delivery while creating space for teammates to challenge ideas and contribute expertise. Next step ## Apply now.
