About the role

Software Engineer embedded in Developer Advocacy to develop Interactive Learning Plugin for Grafana. Focusing on building engaging learning experiences that enhance user workflows.

Responsibilities

Build delightful interactive learning inside Grafana
Ship features that make learning experiences feel obvious, smooth, and scalable.
Improve the end-to-end learner experience—from onboarding to completion.
Enable contribution and authoring (especially for non-engineers): create workflows and product features that let many contributors safely create, iterate on, and improve learning content.
Support private guides and experiences
Make completion tracking that actually matters
Build progress and completion tracking that’s trustworthy, motivating, and useful.
Instrument learning flows so we can understand what’s working, what’s failing, and where learners get stuck.
Treat observability as a product principle
Build fast feedback loops (metrics/logs/traces + user journey visibility) so issues stay shallow.
Make it easy to understand what’s happening in production and in real user experiences.
Ship fast with an AI-driven development workflow
Work daily with tools like Claude Code or Cursor in an agent-based workflow.
Apply strong engineering judgment—scoping, iterating, verifying, and testing—so speed doesn’t compromise quality.

Grafana context
Communication work (~20%) which will include writing clear docs, design notes, and PR descriptions, as well as occasionally demo work or explaining decisions to internal/external audiences.
