The Opportunity
Application Core Services (AppCore) is a group within Platform, in the Foundations department. Foundations produces the Internal Engineering Platform (IEP) and partners closely with our Cloud, Enterprise, and Grafana teams. Our team develops the essential systems driving Grafana's business operations.

The team owns important domain areas that help keep both our customer workflows and internal business processes running smoothly.

Our work includes maintaining the billing engine responsible for customer usage calculation, automating provisioning after a customer signs a contract, integrating with cloud marketplaces such as AWS, Azure, and GCP, and building and maintaining the user portal our customers rely on to manage their accounts.
This is a team working at the intersection of product, platform, and business operations. The systems we build are critical to how Grafana scales. We are looking for a proven leader who enjoys guiding teams in solving complex workflow and systems problems, driving improvements in reliability and developer experience, and building software that directly supports both customers and internal stakeholders.
