Our team thrives in an innovation-driven environment where transparency, autonomy, and trust fuel everything we do. You may not meet every requirement, and that’s okay. If this role excites you, we’d love you to raise your hand for what could be a truly career-defining opportunity. This is a remote opportunity and we would be interested in applicants from Canadian Eastern time zones only at this time. Senior Software Engineer - Session Replay The Opportunity: The Session Replay squad is building a new Grafana Cloud product that helps our customers to understand what users actually experienced when something goes wrong.

Session Replay connects frontend signals (errors, performance, synthetic checks) to concrete session-level evidence, enabling faster and more confident investigation of production issues. This team works at the intersection of: frontend observability, backend data processing and storage at scale, debugging workflows across products, privacy and access control, performance and cost constraints at scale. Session Replay is still early, which means you’ll help shape both what we build and how it fits into Grafana Cloud.
