Morgan, CapitalG, and Lead Edge Capital. Learn more at and follow us on LinkedIn and X. 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 is a remote opportunity, and we would be interested in applicants located in Spain, Sweden, UK, Ireland or Germany. The Opportunity: At Grafana Labs, we build observability tools that help users understand, respond to, and improve their systems - regardless of scale, complexity, or tech stack. We recently started a skunkworks initiative with a mission to bring observability to the rest of the business. Our goal is to make Grafana the single best place where humans and AI agents understand and act on real-time data from across the enterprise. As part of this initiative, we are building an AI-native data intelligence system that gives agents reliable, governed access to enterprise context. This system helps agents retrieve the right data, metadata, definitions, lineage, quality signals, and institutional knowledge without every agent builder having to maintain their own brittle context files. The principle is simple: the context system retrieves, agents decide, and data teams maintain the intelligence. The new team is a mix of seasoned Grafanistas and new hires. We operate with a high degree of autonomy and ownership, both as individuals and as a team. Engineers are empowered to make decisions, move quickly, and validate ideas early - while being supported by a deeply collaborative culture that values curiosity, feedback, and cross-functional partnership. We're looking for a Staff-level Backend Engineer to help build the first production services for this context layer management system. You will design and ship the core backend architecture that powers ingestion, context storage, retrieval APIs, and agent-facing integrations. This is an early-stage role on a high-autonomy team, so you should be comfortable working through ambiguity, making pragmatic architectural decisions, and building systems that can evolve from internal dogfooding to production-grade SaaS. As the team matures, there's a broad opportunity to expand or redefine this role based on impact and initiative. What You'll Be Doing: Build the core backend services: Design, implement, test, and operate the first services for context ingestion, context indexing, retrieval orchestration, API access, source configuration, and system administration. Create a scalable SaaS foundation: Help define and build the architecture for a multi-tenant service, including tenant isolation, usage tracking, quotas, audit logs, background jobs, and reliable service boundaries. Power agent-facing retrieval workflows: Build APIs and service interfaces that allow AI agents, MCP tools, CLIs, and internal applications to retrieve relevant context, provenance, confidence signals, and warnings. Work across product and infrastructure: Partner with the team to make practical tradeoffs between fast experimentation and long-term reliability, especially as the project moves from prototype to production. Operate what you build: Instrument services with metrics, logs, traces, alerts, and dashboards. Use observability tools to understand system behavior and improve reliability. Contribute to technical direction: Help shape the architecture, service boundaries, storage choices, API contracts, deployment patterns, and engineering practices for a new product area. Effective communication: You'll be working in a highly dynamic and collaborative environment, so we need someone who can communicate effectively and contribute across teams. Ownership and impact: Take full ownership of the AI solutions you develop, ensuring they are not only innovative but also scalable, maintainable, and aligned with real user workflows. What Makes You a Great Fit: Strong engineering skills: Solid experience building production-grade, user-facing software systems. You're a self-starter, capable of tackling complex engineering problems and making UI design decisions with minimal supervision. AI experience with a practical mindset: You're familiar with AI technologies and frameworks, and you focus on delivering high-quality solutions that work in the real world, not just in theory. Quick iteration and experimentation: You're comfortable releasing prototypes, collecting feedback, and iterating with a pragmatic mindset. Proven initiative: You take ownership and drive projects forward, pushing boundaries to find the most impactful solutions. You can deal with ambiguity and are able to define scope where things are loosely defined. Collaborative attitude: You communicate effectively with your peers. You're open to feedback, and you bring a solutions-oriented mindset to the table. Experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, and building applications powered by GenAI. Proven track record of delivering software that made it into production and is actively used by users. Exposure to working in cloud-native environments (e.g., AWS, GCP, Azure). Experience using observability tools to understand and troubleshoot system behavior. Bonus Points for: Experience building or working with agent frameworks or multi agent workflows. Experience as a data analyst or work with data platforms (e.g., Looker, Tableau, PowerBI, Snowflake, DataBricks) Experience building tools for data engineering. How we work: We are a remote-first team that meets regularly over video and does most of our work asynchronously, in writing. We value creativity, diverse perspectives, and clear communication. Tempo is relied upon by prominent global organizations to monitor critical applications and infrastructure, and we expect everyone on the team, including our Staff engineers, to contribute ideas that make it a more reliable, more useful, and more loved product.

Cybercrime is costing the world >$10 trillion annually and growing by 15% p.a. - we invite you to be part of the solution! Location Requirement This role is open to candidates currently based in and legally authorized to work in the UK, Portugal, or Ireland. We are unable to consider applicants outside these locations. Your Mission Your mission is to make SoSafe deployable, trustworthy, and extensible within the enterprise security ecosystem. Security-conscious organisations don't just evaluate our content when they buy - they evaluate our architecture, and they form their first impression through our demos. This role owns the capabilities that determine whether SoSafe passes a procurement security review, whether IT teams can provision thousands of users without friction, whether our platform embeds seamlessly into the tools enterprises already rely on, and whether Sales and Solutions Engineering can run compelling, reliable demonstrations that reflect what production actually looks like You will own SoSafe's enterprise control plane: user provisioning and management, identity authentication, access governance, platform extensibility, and the demo infrastructure behind our go-to-market motion. These directly drive deal velocity, customer retention, and platform growth. This is a high-impact, commercial role at the intersection of product strategy, enterprise sales, and technical architecture - you'll set the direction for capabilities that determine whether enterprise organisations choose, stay with, and expand their use of SoSafe. What You'll Do Define and communicate the product vision and strategy for SoSafe's platform capabilities to enable exceptional onboarding and long-term customer success: user and identity management, authentication, access control, platform extensibility, and demo infrastructure. Own the roadmap for enterprise-critical features including SCIM-based user provisioning, SSO/SAML, role-based access control (RBAC), and our external API and integration surface - balancing immediate enterprise requirements with long-term platform scalability. Own SoSafe's demo infrastructure - the environments, tooling, and configuration management that Sales and Solutions Engineering rely on to run credible enterprise demonstrations. Ensure demo environments are stable, production-representative, easy to provision and reset, and kept current with product releases so that what prospects see reflects what they'll get. Partner closely with Sales, Solutions Engineering, and Customer Success to understand procurement blockers, security review patterns, and enterprise deployment challenges - and translate these into a roadmap that accelerates deal velocity and reduces time-to-value to deliver commercial impact. Collaborate with Engineering, Design, Security and Technical Program Management to deliver reliable, compliant platform capabilities that IT and security teams trust to deploy at scale. Define SoSafe's platform extensibility strategy - the API surface, integration patterns, partner ecosystem, and developer experience that enable customers and technology partners to embed SoSafe into their wider security stack. Work with Product Marketing and GTM teams to articulate SoSafe's enterprise-readiness story, support pre-sales security reviews, and contribute to RFP responses. Establish performance metrics for platform capabilities and quantify their impact on enterprise conversion, deployment speed, and expansion. Ship incrementally, learning from early adopters, and maintaining a high bar for security and reliability throughout. Your Profile 7+ years of experience in Product Management, ideally in a B2B SaaS business. Proven track record of owning platform, infrastructure, or enterprise-readiness products with direct commercial impact - such as identity and access management, platform extensibility, integration ecosystems, demo or sandbox infrastructure, or enterprise administration and compliance capabilities. Conceptual fluency in enterprise authentication and provisioning standards - SSO (SAML/OIDC), SCIM, OAuth, RBAC. You don't build them, but you lead credible technical conversations with engineering teams and security-conscious enterprise buyers. Proven ability to prioritise outcomes, balancing long-term platform investment against short-term enterprise deal demands. Strong cross-functional leadership, with experience aligning Engineering, Security, Sales, Legal, and executive stakeholders around a coherent platform strategy. There are a few things that are beneficial, but not essential, for this role: Experience at a company selling to enterprise security teams or IT buyers, where you've navigated procurement security reviews, compliance requirements, or InfoSec audits. Hands on exposure to platform extensibility in practice - API design standards, developer experience, versioning, rate limiting, webhook patterns, or partner ecosystem development. Hands on exposure to demo or sandbox environment management - understanding what it takes to keep demo environments stable, data fresh, and representative of production across rapid release cycles. Familiarity with the identity provider landscape (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra) and how enterprise IT teams integrate SaaS tools into their identity infrastructure. What we offer Work/Life balance: Flexible hours, 33 vacation days Wellbeing and financial support: Access to Open Up, corporate discounts Connection & community: Virtual events, collaborative team activities, and opportunities for local meet ups And the list goes on: Tech equipment, referral bonuses, dog friendly HQ Perks and benefits listed above are for full time employees and may vary slightly by office location. These are just a sample - you'll learn more during the interview process. About Us At SoSafe, we're on a mission to make the digital world safer by addressing the human factor in cybersecurity. As one of the fastest growing security awareness scale ups worldwide, we leverage behavioural science and data driven learning to empower people against cyber threats. Our Human Risk Management approach helps organisations turn their employees into their strongest line of defence.

Founder George Kurtz realized that a brand new approach was needed - one that combines the most advanced endpoint protection with expert intelligence to pinpoint the adversaries perpetrating the attacks, not just the malware. There's much more to the story of how Falcon has redefined endpoint protection but there's only one thing to remember about CrowdStrike: We stop breaches.
