Open-Source Observability Platform — Metrics, Logs, and Traces for Every Engineer
The consensus on Grafana Labs: Choose Grafana Labs if you want deep open-source impact, fully remote flexibility, and excellent WLB — but expect limited career progression paths above staff level.
Founded in 2014 by Raj Dutt and Torkel Ödegaard, Grafana Labs is the company behind Grafana, Loki, Tempo, and Mimir — the open-source observability stack used by millions of engineers worldwide. As a 100% remote company with no physical offices, Grafana Labs has teams across 40+ countries operating async-first. The culture is deeply engineering-driven with strong open-source values — engineers contribute to projects with millions of community users. Expect generous PTO (~30 days), mandatory shutdown days, and a collaborative environment where talented engineers work on tools that define modern observability.
All core products are open-source — Grafana (60k+ GitHub stars), Loki, Tempo, Mimir. Active community with contributors from around the world.
