Documentation & Technical Writing Manager

Grafana Labs

Grafana Labs provides an open and composable monitoring and observability platform built around Grafana, the leading open source technology for dashboards and visualization. There are more than 700,000 active installations of Grafana around the globe, monitoring everything from beehives to climate change in the Alps. The instantly recognizable dashboards have been spotted everywhere from a SpaceX launch and Minecraft HQ to Wimbledon and the Tour de France. Grafana Labs also helps companies including Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase, and eBay manage their observability strategies with full-stack offerings that can be run fully managed with Grafana Cloud, or self-managed with Grafana Enterprise Stack. The Grafana stack has grown to include two other open source projects, Grafana Loki (for logs) and Grafana Tempo (for traces).

With the growth in the adoption of the Grafana stack, as well as the expansion of Grafana Labs’ products and projects, we are looking for a manager who can build the technical writing team and oversee the redesign and expansion of the documentation site, so that we can better serve the users who come to our site seeking technical content about our projects and products.
