Solutions Architect | EST USA | Remote

United States (Remote)

Grafana Labs is a remote-first, open-source powerhouse. There are more than 20M users of Grafana, the open source visualization tool, around the globe, monitoring everything from beehives to climate change in the Alps. The instantly recognizable dashboards have been spotted everywhere from a NASA launch and Minecraft HQ to Wimbledon and the Tour de France. Grafana Labs also helps more than 3,000 companies -- including Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase, and eBay -- manage their observability strategies with the Grafana LGTM Stack, which can be run fully managed with Grafana Cloud or self-managed with the Grafana Enterprise Stack, both featuring scalable metrics (Grafana Mimir), logs (Grafana Loki), and traces (Grafana Tempo).

We’re scaling fast and staying true to what makes us different: an open-source legacy, a global collaborative culture, and a passion for meaningful work. Our team thrives in an innovation-driven environment where transparency, autonomy, and trust fuel everything we do.

You may not meet every requirement, and that’s okay. If this role excites you, we’d love you to raise your hand for what could be a truly career-defining opportunity.

The Opportunity:

Grafana Labs is looking for a Solution Architect to join our world class Packaged Services team. Our Solutions Architects are responsible for driving customer onboarding and achieving a fast and reliable value realization. Our SAs provide customers with guided training, hands-on implementation support, and targeted business and technical consulting to ensure customers adopt Grafana smoothly and unlock meaningful value quickly.

As a Solutions Architect, you will work with new customers to deliver our packaged services and drive successful adoption of Grafana and related technologies. In this role, you’ll directly implement key components of their observability stack, optimize usage to keep costs low from the start, and help establish a customer Center of Excellence through training and best-practice guidance. When customers fall behind or encounter challenges, you will provide prescriptive technical direction to keep their implementation on track. By leveraging training content, product insights, and prescriptive delivery frameworks, you’ll support customers during the most critical stage of their Grafana journey and ensure they have an exceptional experience with our engagements.

Our Solutions Architects are deeply specialized Professional Services technologists. They bring strong observability fundamentals - understanding why Kubernetes matters, how it integrates with Prometheus, the distinctions between logs and metrics, the “pets vs. cattle” paradigm, and more.

You will thrive in this role if you enjoy staying hands-on at the keyboard, working in the command line, and pairing that technical depth with customer engagement, project management, and structured delivery.

In addition to strong technical expertise, a Solutions Architect must also bring solid project management skills to effectively track and manage the progress of customer initiatives.

As a rapidly expanding program within Grafana Labs, we’re looking for candidates who are scrappy, technical, and self-driven - people who are excited to join a growing company and help shape both our organization and the customer experience!

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Provision licenses for new customers 
  • Directly implement Grafana products during customer onboarding
  • Collaborate with Sales, SEs and Observability Architects to ensure a smooth and seamless knowledge transfer from pre to post sales
  • Teach training sessions using our standard content, as well as customized or engagement specific material when needed
  • Collaborate with Customer Experience strategy teams to create and manage engaging and useful onboarding documentation, videos, presentation material for customers
  • Document and share customer success and intervention stories 
  • Maintain a high level of professionalism, empathy, business, and technical acumen across multiple customers at one time, connecting trends and themes as you go
  • Have deep observability expertise in order to implement, train and troubleshoot with our customers.
  • Enjoy problem solving to understand what your customer is looking to resolve, mapping solutions to the gaps and outlining the value against the proposed solution
  • Work with the team to enhance customer documentation and create internal enablement material
  • Effective in understanding business needs and distilling the information into business and technical requirements.
  • Comfortable working with business and technological requirements and translating into the design of solutions, including data visualization, workflow recommendations, migrations, and enterprise scale architecture.
  • Speed is paramount. This team is nimble and is the fulcrum to accelerate the delivery of the solution for customers.
  • Be a strong advocate for adherence to standards and best practices.
  • Stay current on Grafana Labs, observability, and related technologies.
  • You'll be a key resource for our Sales, Product Management, Engineering, Support, and Professional Services teams as they look to drive innovation and improvements into future product and offering enhancements.
  • If you enjoy working with customers to help them succeed and thrive on working with leading-edge technologies, this is the role for you.
  •  

What Makes You a Great Fit:

  • 3+ years of experience working on deployment teams, using project management techniques.
  • Exposure to o11y stack (visualization, alerting, metrics, logs, traces)
  • A proven track record of successful delivery of customer projects, preferably enterprise o11y implementations for large customers
  • Self-starter, adept at picking up new skills and technologies, and eager to break new ground.
  • Excellent communication skills to communicate with customers, partners, and internal members.
  • Vision to help us take our company to the next level.
  • Kubernetes experience
  • Linux system administration

In the United States, the base compensation range for this role is $144,000 - $173,000. Actual compensation may vary based on level, experience, and skillset as assessed throughout the interview process. All of our roles include Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), giving every team member ownership in Grafana Labs' success. We believe in shared outcomes—RSUs help us stay aligned and invested as we scale globally.

*Compensation ranges are country specific. If you are applying for this role from a different location than listed above, your recruiter will discuss your specific market’s defined pay range & benefits at the beginning of the process.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
