Responsibilities
- Design, build and maintain user-facing tools that support the deployment, configuration and operation of Grafana Alloy, the OpenTelemetry Collector, and related components.
- Own and evolve our Helm chart ecosystem run on more than 10k clusters and 300k nodes, writing charts that are robust, well-tested, and a pleasure for users to use.
- Build and maintain tooling that works across platforms: Kubernetes-first, but rock-solid on Linux, Windows, and macOS, too.
- Support infrastructure-as-code integrations using ArgoCD, Terraform, Flux, and other GitOps utilities.
- Collaborate closely with support, product, and field engineering to understand real customer pain points and translate them into durable tool improvements.
