You are comfortable owning features in ambiguous problem spaces. We are a small team, working remotely, on a product that will be used by engineers all over the world – the ability to work on your own is crucial

Responsibilities

• Assumer la direction technique de bout en bout pour le projet Session Replay, en supervisant à la fois le frontend, le backend et les systèmes de données.
• Concevoir et diriger l'évolution de l'architecture backend, y compris la conception de systèmes autour du stockage de données en colonnes/analytique pour les données de session à grande échelle.
• Collaborer avec des équipes interfonctionnelles pour construire des expériences cohérentes à travers les produits Grafana, et interagir directement avec les clients pour recueillir des retours.

Requirements

• Ability to reason about data-intensive systems (ingestion, storage, querying, cost trade-offs)
• For us, working together means being collaborative, friendly, kind, and respectful. We operate by consensus. You can contribute to a discussion, disagree constructively, and commit to the team’s decision. You are able to communicate design decisions clearly in written and spoken English
• You have a good understanding of a software development process that takes a user-centered approach. You easily build an understanding of the users’ context and goals which will help you build the right solution with the maximum value
• Experience with columnar/analytical databases
• Experience building debugging or developer-focused tools
• Experience with observability tools (Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, Sentry, etc.)
