Responsibilities
Grafana Cloud moves millions of metrics, log lines, and traces per second from our customers' environments into a highly available, low-latency stack that processes and stores this data, and serves them to dashboards and alerting tools.
The Internal Engineering Platform (IEP) delivered by the Platform group provides application engineers with the tools, systems and Kubernetes clusters they need to build, deploy and run their workloads.
We are hiring a manager as part of the creation of a new Platform “Metal” squad.
This squad will be responsible for building and provisioning resources including storage, networking and Kubernetes clusters in new environments, starting with our own physical hardware.
They will provide a Kubernetes control plane and underlying resources, outside public Cloud, to the rest of Engineering.
Hire, manage, and develop a team of engineers, providing regular feedback and supporting each person’s growth through career conversations.
