Senior Frontend Engineer, Alerting | Ireland | Remote

Senior Frontend Engineer, Alerting

This is a remote opportunity and we would be interested in applications from Ireland.

The Opportunity

The Grafana Alerting squad operates at the core of the Grafana open-source project (link), and our mission is to provide the most in-depth way to let users manage their alerts. The backend-focused team works closely with customers and the Grafana Cloud teams to make Alerting work on-prem and at infinite scale in Cloud.

Our domain is quite large, so to get an idea of the kind of work we do, here are some projects we recently worked on:

• Build distributed systems to scale alert ingestion and delivery of Prometheus-based alerts
• Unify Alerting setup and delivery to work the same for Grafana and Prometheus-based alerts
• Build distributed systems to scale alert evaluation of Grafana-managed alerts, reaching over 500 evaluations per second in production.

Grafana Alerting is trusted by major organizations worldwide, monitoring essential medical devices and critical infrastructure. We thrive on collective creativity and diverse perspectives, every team member is encouraged to contribute ideas that shape our product into a dependable tool.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Take an active role in influencing our roadmap and your own career objectives 
• Work with your team to deliver new features, then use the results to iterate and improve.
• Drive projects from initial ideation all the way to operations once it is in the hands of customers
• Embrace our open-source culture and contribute to other projects that may not directly fall within your team’s scope
• Design, build, operate, and maintain critical systems, owning the reliability, performance, and availability
• Be a part of your team’s on-call rotations and take ownership of the services you’re running
• Mentor and support other team members, participate in design discussions and collaborate with the team
• Learn new skills by gaining a deeper understanding of our cloud product and our customers and getting to know the codebase of a large distributed system

As we are remote-first and our engineering organization is largely remote, we provide guidance and meet regularly using video calls, so an independent attitude and good communication skills are a must.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Work with React and Typescript
• Experience with Redux Toolkit + RTKQ to handle state and HTTP requests
• Work with the grafana/ui library and Saga design system
• Emotion for styling React components
• Use of Jest, React Testing Library and MSW for unit and integration testing, ensuring the quality and reliability of codebase
• Experience with Prettier, Eslint and other tools to automate code styling
• Webpack as a bundler
• Grafana is a mono repository, use of NX and yarn for managing workspaces
