We’re scaling fast and staying true to what makes us different: an open-source legacy, a global collaborative culture, and a passion for meaningful work. Our team thrives in an innovation-driven environment where transparency, autonomy, and trust fuel everything we do.
You may not meet every requirement, and that’s okay. If this role excites you, we’d love you to raise your hand for what could be a truly career-defining opportunity.
Important: This is a remote position and we're considering candidates in the UK, Spain, and Ireland.
We are looking for an engineering manager to lead our application security engineering team. You will be responsible for developing and implementing security strategies, as well as liaising with other teams delivering parts of our overall security posture. You'll be accountable for the security of software you don't write, in teams that don't report to you. The people who do well in this role get there by making the secure path the easiest one.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of implementing and improving the maturity of security programs, through the use of automation and systematic approaches in Cloud-based SaaS organizations, and possess excellent leadership and communication skills. You can tell the difference between a finding and a risk, and know how to prioritise risk mitigation, guiding the squad towards the most effective use of their time.
You must have significant engineering acumen as this is a highly technology-driven role. Your main role will be to support your engineering team and to do that you should be able to review a threat model, challenge a severity rating, and contribute to a design review.

Grafana Labs is fully remote with employees in more than 40 countries. It runs payroll-backed benefits in specific countries, including health coverage or stipends in the US, UK, Canada, the Netherlands, Sweden, Singapore, Spain, Australia, and India, and employer retirement contributions in most of those plus Germany, so open roles are typically tied to those hiring locations.
Most processes start with a recruiter conversation, followed by hiring manager and leadership interviews, a role-relevant practical challenge such as a coding task or take-home with no trick questions, and final interviews on collaboration and decision-making. Senior and sales roles add a Wayfinder interview with a cross-functional team member to check values alignment.
Everyone gets 30 days of paid vacation per year on top of national holidays, sick leave, and parental leave. The company also observes several company-wide Shutdown Days each year so the whole team disconnects at the same time.
New hires choose their own laptop and accessories, which are refreshed every three years, and the company reimburses up to $175 a month for a personal coworking space. New Grafanistas are also flown in together for in-person onboarding to meet colleagues face to face.
The culture rewards people who default to transparency, have direct conversations even when they are hard, and ship early and often. The careers page is explicit about what it rejects, naming bureaucracy, busywork, finger pointing, and staying on the sidelines as its mortal enemies.
