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, Torkel Ödegaard, and Anthony Woods, 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 (73k+ GitHub stars), Loki, Tempo, Mimir. Active community with contributors from around the world.
