Software Engineer - Synthetic Monitoring | UK | Remote
About the role
Software Engineer - Synthetic Monitoring
This is a remote opportunity, and we would be interested in applicants located in Spain, Sweden, UK, Ireland or Germany.
The Opportunity
The Synthetic Monitoring squad builds and operates Grafana Cloud Synthetic Monitoring, used by teams globally to proactively verify that their critical user journeys, APIs, and services work as expected - before their customers notice they don't.
Synthetic Monitoring is a multi-tenant distributed system implemented in Go, running on Kubernetes across all major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure), executing billions of synthetic tests each month from probe locations around the world and from customer-operated private probes.
The product is in a scale phase, and our focus is on making Synthetic Monitoring a deeply integrated part of Grafana Cloud: connecting checks to real user experience and cross-product investigation workflows, making check results a trusted signal for AI-assisted workflows, and enabling large organizations to operate the product at enterprise scale on our infrastructure and on their own private probes.
The role is full-stack in the real sense: the same engineer who designs how a check execution flows through scheduling, probes, and the telemetry pipeline should also be able to build the workflow that lets a user understand and act on the result.
As a company we are remote-first and global, we embrace people of different experiences and backgrounds to build diverse teams where every person brings a new perspective to the software. We are looking for Software Engineers who are passionate about building reliable systems and providing seamless experiences for our customers to join our growing team! Our stack is Golang, Typescript and React, but we build tools for people using many other stacks.
