Senior Frontend Engineer - Session Replay / Grafana Cloud | Sweden | Remote
Job Description
Grafana Labs is a remote-first, open-source powerhouse. There are more than 20M users of Grafana, the open source visualization tool, around the globe, monitoring everything from beehives to climate change in the Alps. The instantly recognizable dashboards have been spotted everywhere from a NASA launch and Minecraft HQ to Wimbledon and the Tour de France. Grafana Labs also helps more than 3,000 companies -- including Bloomberg, JPMorgan Chase, and eBay -- manage their observability strategies with the Grafana LGTM Stack, which can be run fully managed with Grafana Cloud or self-managed with the Grafana Enterprise Stack, both featuring scalable metrics (Grafana Mimir), logs (Grafana Loki), and traces (Grafana Tempo).
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 based in Spain, Germany, Ireland, the UK or Sweden at this time.
The Opportunity:
About Session Replay squad
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,
- debugging workflows,
- 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.
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 new perspective to the software. We are looking for Frontend Engineers who are passionate about communicating with data and providing seamless experiences for our customers to join our growing team! Our stack is Typescript + React (interacting with backends written in Golang), but we build tools for people using many other stacks.
What You’ll Be Doing:
As a Senior Frontend Engineer on the Session Replay squad, you will:
- Own all aspects of the Session Replay player and investigation workflows, from user interaction to performance and correctness.
- Lead the design and implementation of complex, stateful frontend systems involving timelines, overlays, large datasets, and partially available data.
- Lead discussions with other teams (Frontend Observability, Synthetic Monitoring, Core Grafana) to integrate replay seamlessly into broader investigation workflows across Grafana Cloud products.
- Implement visual designs using clean, reusable components.
- Improve internal tooling, patterns, and shared components where needed.
- Help grow the team by interviewing candidates, mentoring engineers, and supporting onboarding.
Technologies you'll work with
- React
- TypeScript
- Golang
What Makes You a Great Fit:
- You are comfortable working in a remote-first company; communication is key.
- For us, working together means being collaborative, friendly, kind, and respectful. We operate by consensus. You can contribute to a discussion, disagree constructively, and commit to the team’s decision. You are able to communicate design decisions clearly in written and spoken English.
- You have strong experience as a Frontend Engineer, and are comfortable owning features in ambiguous problem spaces.. We are a small team, working remotely, on a product that will be used by engineers all over the world – the ability to work on your own is crucial.
- You have a good understanding of a software development process that takes a user-centered approach. You easily build an understanding of the users’ context and goals which will help you build the right solution with the maximum value.
- You know how to transform ideas into working code – you are able to design a solution, get feedback, and write a prototype by yourself.
- You enjoy working on complex solutions – Grafana is a highly technological solution and has avid followers who rely on it every day and who care deeply about their workflows. You value code maintainability, readability & automation.
- You are able to troubleshoot modern web application issues and work with profilers, debuggers, bundlers, and testing libraries.
Bonus Points For:
- Experience with observability tools (Grafana, Datadog, New Relic, Sentry, etc.).
- Experience building debugging or developer-focused tools.
- Familiarity with Storybook, Jest, React Testing Library, or Playwright.
- Experience dealing with performance-sensitive UIs (large lists, timelines, media playback).
- Understanding of privacy, security, or access control concerns in frontend applications.
