About the role
Staff Software Engineer, Developer Advocacy | US | Remote
This is a fully remote position and we're considering candidates in the US.
The Opportunity:
Grafana is building the Interactive Learning Plugin: an open source, in-product learning experience inside Grafana that helps users level up without leaving their workflow. We’re hiring a software engineer embedded in Developer Advocacy who ships real product code that directly impacts both Grafana Cloud and Grafana OSS.
This is for an engineer who moves fast with strong judgment, is excited about AI-assisted development in open source, and wants to help build a platform where anyone can contribute high-quality learning content—not just engineers.
Your primary focus will be the open source Interactive Learning Plugin and its content.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Build delightful interactive learning inside Grafana
- Ship features that make learning experiences feel obvious, smooth, and scalable.
- Improve the end-to-end learner experience—from onboarding to completion.
- Enable contribution and authoring (especially for non-engineers): create workflows and product features that let many contributors safely create, iterate on, and improve learning content.
- Support private guides and experiences
- Make completion tracking that actually matters
- Build progress and completion tracking that’s trustworthy, motivating, and useful.
- Instrument learning flows so we can understand what’s working, what’s failing, and where learners get stuck.
- Treat observability as a product principle
- Build fast feedback loops (metrics/logs/traces + user journey visibility) so issues stay shallow.
- Make it easy to understand what’s happening in production and in real user experiences.
- Ship fast with an AI-driven development workflow
- Work daily with tools like Claude Code or Cursor in an agent-based workflow.
