The team's scope spans both Grafana Alerting and the SLOs product, so engineers get to work across two products that are deeply connected in how they help users detect and respond to problems. Grafana Alerting is trusted by major organizations worldwide, monitoring essential medical devices and critical infrastructure. We thrive on collective creativity and diverse perspectives, every team member is encouraged to contribute ideas that shape our product into a dependable tool. Our domain is quite large, so to get an idea of the kind of work we do, here are some projects we recently worked on: * Build distributed systems to scale alert ingestion and delivery of Prometheus-based alerts * Unify Alerting setup and delivery to work the same for Grafana and Prometheus-based alerts * Build distributed systems to scale alert evaluation of Grafana-managed alerts, reaching over 500 evaluations per second in production.
