Job description
Grafana Cloud moves millions of metrics, log lines, and traces per second from our customersâ environments into a highly available, low-latency stack that processes and stores this data, and serves them to dashboards and alerting tools. We aim to grow this to hundreds of millions per second, and itâs critical that as we grow, we improve our performance, increase our reliability, and, of course, do it efficiently and effectively. The Internal Engineering Platform (IEP) delivered by the Foundations group provides application engineers with the tools, systems and Kubernetes clusters they need to build, deploy and run their workloads. We are hiring an engineer as part of the creation of a new Foundationâs âMetalâ squad. This squad will be responsible for building and provisioning resources including storage, networking and Kubernetes clusters in new environments, starting with our own physical hardware. They will provide a Kubernetes control plane and underlying resources, outside public Cloud, to the rest of Engineering. What Makes You a Great Fit: You enjoy working with engineers, as well as with the management structures that are there to support you and enable you and your team to do your very best. You are comfortable working in a remote-first company; communication is key. For us, working together means being collaborative, friendly, kind, and respectful. We operate by consensus, you can contribute to a discussion but then commit to the team decision. As such, being such a highly distributed company, means we would love someone who is keen on working with distributed systems, too. You are eager to learn and grow. There is a lot of room for growth and development, and the team has quite a lot of knowledge to share for those who are wanting to learn. You approach development holistically. The team owns the full life cycle of our code; from writing design docs, to looking at developer feedback, and integration testing. We appreciate engineers who enjoy looking at the big picture, and also notice the details of the brush strokes. The Platform team mainly works with Go, Python, and Shell. You have experience with operating your code. Since a lot of operators and developers use our software, having some grounding in both of these spaces really helps us with building better platforms for our users. Datacenter experience. Participation in an on-call rotation. What Youâll Be Doing:
- Management of our physical âMetalâ environment from bare metal to kubernetes.
- Management of cluster networking components: load balancing, NAT, DNS, CNIs, cross-cluster communication, Routing protocols, Architecture.
- Management of scheduling and autoscaling.
- Maintaining Crossplane compositions and Terraform modules for CSP resources common to our users. As well the management of versioning and compatibility for Crossplane and Terraform core as well as providers.
- Work with our users (Grafana Cloud application teams) to help understand their needs and ensure weâre investing in the right capabilities.
Requirements
- Experience with Cluster-API, Tinkerbell, Talos and/or Ceph
- Youâve worked in or on open source, or other community-based projects previously. At Grafana Labs, âOSS is in our DNAâ.
- Experience with a few CSPs. We run Grafana Cloud on AWS, GCP, and Azure using eachâs managed Kubernetes service - EKS, GKE, AKS.
- Experience operating and managing workloads on Kubernetes. We use Tanka for configuration management with Jsonnet.
- Familiarity with Kubernetes scheduling and projects like Karpenter.
- Terraform and/or Crossplane experience. We have mixed usage - each has its strengths.
- Enjoys programming in Go! We love building our own tools, utilities, exporters, etc. that suit our needs and otherwise donât exist (and open sourcing them).
