Support global onboarding delivery + post-onboarding ramp in-region • Support the global onboarding program by delivering existing training modules both virtually and in-person for new hire cohorts (expected annual travel is 10-20%), • Serve as a point of contact for EMEA new hires after the 6-week onboarding program as they ramp: reinforce core behaviors, share “how we win” patterns, and connect reps to the right SMEs and resources., • Coordinate targeted ramp reinforcement moments for new cohorts based on observed gaps and manager input. Support APAC enablement coordination (limited, short-term) • As needed, help organize a small number of APAC sessions (logistics, scheduling, content routing) while regional SMEs or other owners drive delivery., • Focus remains EMEA-first; APAC involvement is intended to cover short-term coordination needs, especially during low time-zone overlap periods.

We’re scaling fast and staying true to what makes us different: an open-source legacy, a global collaborative culture, and a passion for meaningful work. 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 role is available for candidates located in the UK, Germany, Spain, Ireland and Sweden. The Opportunity: Application Core Services (AppCore) is a group within Platform, in the Foundations department. Foundations produces the Internal Engineering Platform (IEP) and partners closely with our Cloud, Enterprise, and Grafana teams. Our team develops the essential systems driving Grafana's business operations. We utilize the grafana.com platform to engineer bespoke integrations and solutions that unify the diverse technical ecosystem of a modern software enterprise. The team owns important domain areas that help keep both our customer workflows and internal business processes running smoothly. AppCore is made up of multiple squads, each focused on one or more of these domains. Our work includes maintaining the billing engine responsible for customer usage calculation, automating provisioning after a customer signs a contract, integrating with cloud marketplaces such as AWS, Azure, and GCP, and building and maintaining the user portal our customers rely on to manage their accounts. This is a team working at the intersection of product, platform, and business operations. The systems we build are critical to how Grafana scales. We are looking for engineers who enjoy solving complex workflow and systems problems, improving reliability and developer experience, and building software that directly supports both customers and internal stakeholders. As a company we are remote-first and global, we embrace people of different experiences and backgrounds to build diverse teams where every person brings a unique perspective to the software. Engineers at Grafana also have the opportunity to contribute to Open Source communities and collaborate across teams beyond their immediate scope. What You’ll Be Doing: The AppCore Stacks squad owns the systems that create, configure, reconcile, migrate, and operate Grafana Cloud stacks at scale. A stack is the customer-facing Grafana Cloud environment that connects an organization to Grafana and the backend services it uses, including Mimir, Loki, Tempo, plugins, dashboards, data sources, and stack-level configuration. Our work sits at the intersection of product, platform, and operations.
