Grafana Technical Consultant

Job Title: Grafana Technical Consultant

Location: Hybrid, Atlanta, GA

We’re looking for a hands-on and visionary Grafana Technical Consultant to build and grow our observability capability from the ground up. This is a foundational role in a small but strategic area of our technology stack. You’ll be responsible for shaping our Grafana adoption, establishing best practices, and creating a scalable model for how teams across the organization use monitoring, metrics, and dashboards.

This is an ideal role for someone who thrives in early-stage environments, enjoys wearing multiple hats, and is excited to influence both the technical direction and the future team structure.

What You’ll Do:

Build the Foundation:

Stand up and manage our Grafana environment (OSS or Enterprise), including integration with data sources like Prometheus, Loki, and Tempo.

Create initial dashboards, alerts, and data pipelines that help teams visualize and act on key metrics.

Define Best Practices:

Establish and document Grafana usage guidelines, dashboard standards, naming conventions, and alerting strategies.

Advocate for observability-first engineering practices across development and operations teams.

Act as a Multiplier:

Serve as the go-to expert and internal consultant for teams adopting Grafana.

Provide training, demos, and hands-on support to empower developers and SREs to build their own dashboards and alerts.

Collaborate Across Teams:

Work closely with platform, DevOps, and application teams to understand monitoring needs and design appropriate observability solutions.

Partner with leadership to define the future state and scaling strategy of the observability practice.

Plan for Growth:

Identify gaps, propose improvements, and influence the long-term roadmap for our observability tooling and Grafana practice.

Contribute to decisions around tooling upgrades, enterprise licensing, plugin adoption, and future team expansion.

Who You Are:

4+ years in a DevOps, SRE, platform engineering, or infrastructure-focused role

1–2+ years of direct experience with Grafana (OSS or Enterprise), including dashboarding, alerting, and integrating with various data sources

Comfortable working with monitoring tools like Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, or OpenTelemetry

Proficient in infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Helm, etc.) and cloud-native environments (AWS, GCP, Azure)

Strong communication skills and an ability to guide and influence technical peers without formal authority

Self-starter who thrives in early-stage, ambiguous environments

Nice to Have:

Experience deploying or managing Grafana Enterprise features

Background in observability strategy or building internal tooling for developer productivity

Exposure to logging, tracing, or incident response platforms (e.g., Elastic, Datadog, Honeycomb, PagerDuty)

What We Offer:

The opportunity to define and own a key technical practice from day one

A supportive, low-bureaucracy environment with real ownership and impact

Flexible work environment (remote-friendly)

A learning-oriented culture and budget for growth

This is a builder role. If you're excited to shape the future of observability at an organization that values engineering excellence from the start — we’d love to hear from you.
