What Grafana Labs asks for
From Grafana Labs' Senior Software Engineer - Grafana Search & Storage | Canada | Remote ad, checked 3 Nov 2026.
Go, Rust, or Python
Solid experience developing with Go, Rust, Python, or similar programming languages to build performant and maintainable software.
Distributed systems and cloud
Experience working with large distributed systems and developing software that runs in cloud environments or involves systems engineering.
End-to-end project delivery
Taking projects from the initial idea and requirement gathering stages all the way through to shipping and operating the product for customers.
On-call and observability tools
Experience participating in on-call rotations, performing site reliability engineering tasks, and using tools like Grafana and Prometheus.
How the example answers the ad
Go, Rust, or Python
“Led the migration of legacy storage services to Rust, resulting in a 25 percent reduction in memory overhead.”
Using Rust to migrate storage services shows the required experience with modern backend programming languages to build performant software.
Distributed systems and cloud
“Architected a distributed metadata caching layer that reduced query latency by 40 percent across regional clusters.”
Building a caching layer across regional clusters shows work on the large distributed systems mentioned in the distributed systems and cloud requirement.
End-to-end project delivery
“Took a new data partitioning feature from initial requirement gathering to full production deployment.”
Moving a feature from requirements to production deployment covers the end to end project delivery requirement.
On-call and observability tools
“Managed 24/7 on-call rotations for critical compute infrastructure, maintaining a 99.99 percent uptime SLA.”
Managing 24/7 rotations for compute infrastructure shows the experience specified in the on-call and observability tools requirement.
