Staff AI Engineer

Grafana Labs recently started a skunkworks initiative (the Second Horizon team) with a mission to bring observability to the rest of the business via general data analytics. The goal is to make Grafana the single best place where humans and AI agents understand and act on data from across the enterprise. The team builds AI-driven features for use cases like product analytics and sales data, lowering the barrier of domain expertise and surfacing meaningful signals from messy data. The 2H team operates with a high degree of autonomy and ownership, with a collaborative culture that values curiosity, feedback, and cross-functional partnership.

• Build and deliver AI solutions: take ownership of developing high-performance AI features to help users discover, organize, and optimize access to large datasets.
• Rapid experimentation and iteration: implement a highly iterative process, prototyping, testing, and validating with real users, including shipping and evolving LLM- or agent-powered workflows for the data engineering lifecycle.
• Collaborate: work with the team to shape AI-driven product features, including integrating agentic components with internal tools like Slack and alerting systems, and engage with internal data teams for dogfooding.
• Utilize AI tools effectively: use AI and automation tools to enhance both product functionality and your own development workflows.
• Effective communication: work in a dynamic and collaborative environment, communicating effectively across teams.
• Ownership and impact: take full ownership of AI solutions, ensuring they are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with real user workflows.

• AI experience with a practical mindset: familiar with AI technologies and frameworks, focused on delivering high-quality solutions that work in the real world.
• Quick iteration and experimentation: comfortable releasing prototypes, collecting feedback, and iterating with a pragmatic mindset.
• Proven initiative: take ownership and drive projects forward, dealing with ambiguity and defining scope where things are loosely defined.
• Collaborative attitude: communicate effectively with peers, open to feedback, and solutions-oriented.

• Experience with LLMs, context engineering, and building applications powered by GenAI.
• Proven track record of delivering software that made it into production and is actively used by users.
• Exposure to working in cloud-native environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure).
• Experience using observability tools to understand and troubleshoot system behavior.

• Experience building or working with agent frameworks or multi-agent workflows.
• Experience as a data analyst or work with data platforms (e.g., Looker, Tableau, PowerBI, Snowflake, DataBricks).
