The Opportunity
About Grafana Frontend
The Grafana Frontend group is responsible for the end to end user experience on Grafana the observability product and Grafana the platform used by many engineers to build plugins. Our squads are responsible for dashboards, data visualization and manipulation, navigation across the ecosystem, sharing experience, content search,organisation and more.
You'll also have the opportunity to work across the Grafana Frontend team and partner with other squads within the Grafana department to drive innovation and solve complex engineering challenges.
The squad: DataViz
We build and evolve the Grafana Visualizations. We want to give our users the ability to visualize their data in a way that’s easy to set up and understand, so they can pull out interesting and valuable insights.
Some of our recent projects include:
- Externalisation of our core visualization to be independently releasable and remove interdependencies
- GraphViz: Visualize relationships, flows, and architectures using the Graphviz DOT language with live metrics from any Grafana data source.
- Raising the bar on quality and reliability: improving our test coverage, introduce a new testing strategy and tooling for visual regressions
- Refresh the look and feel of our existing visualizations. E.g Table and Gauge
