Process
I applied online. The process took two weeks.
The interview process was a great experience. The interviewers were very punctual, and there was no stress at all. I especially liked the programming task, which was well-made and really reflected what developers usually do working on Grafana.

Good work-life balance if you don't count on-calls
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
December 16, 2025
Pros: Decent salary, lot of talented people, 30 days of PTO, fun projects.
Cons: Not the best people get raises or promotions, but the ones who speak the loudest.
IPO hungry, "we're all in sales", changing priorities, management has very little clues about technical challenges.
