Grafana Labs is the company behind Grafana Cloud, the fully managed observability platform trusted by more than 10,000 organizations to ensure reliability, resolve incidents faster, and optimize telemetry at scale. Built on open source and open standards and designed for interoperability across any stack, Grafana Cloud brings AI to observability and observability to AI, giving teams (and their agents) unified visibility so they can see, understand, and act on all their disparate data, wherever it lives, and move at the speed of their ambitions. Customers, including Anthropic, Bloomberg, NVIDIA, Microsoft, and Salesforce, rely on Grafana Labs. We are a 100% remote company with team members across 40+ countries, backed by leading investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Sequoia Capital, GIC, Coatue, J.P. Morgan, CapitalG, and Lead Edge Capital. Learn more at grafana.com 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 full-time remote opportunity. We are considering candidates based in the US and Canada only, within the Eastern or Central time zones.

The Opportunity

We are building Mobile Session Replay: a way for teams to see what users actually experienced in their iOS, Android, Flutter and React Native apps, inside Grafana Cloud.

Session Replay connects frontend signals to session-level evidence, so engineers can investigate production issues faster and with more confidence. Web replay is already available publicly. Mobile replay extends the same story to native apps as part of our Digital Experience Monitoring (DEM) strategy.

We are starting with Android. A working prototype already exists, and you will help turn it into a product customers can trust. The plan is to push ahead from there: iOS next, then our Flutter, React Native and OpenTelemetry mobile SDKs, so customers get a consistent replay experience across platforms.

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 Staff Mobile Engineers who are passionate about working with data and providing seamless experiences for our customers to join our growing team!

What you'll be doing

As a Staff Mobile Engineer you will be the technical lead for mobile capture and replay, working across the device, the ingest path and the player. Specifically, you will:

Own the on-device replay library end to end, starting with Android and extending to iOS.
Make privacy a default, designing masking and consent controls so sensitive data never leaves the device.
Keep the overhead low and measure it on real devices, protecting startup time, UI responsiveness, battery, memory, network use and disk, and profiling the impact of capture and masking while the app is actively being used. Give customers controls to trade fidelity against cost.
Build the integration layer so customers do not copy demo glue code: adapters that tie replay to the active RUM session, sampling decisions and screen or navigation changes.
Work across the stack with Frontend and Mobile Observability teams on the capture, upload and storage pipeline, session inactivity handling, the timeline player and the mobile sessions and replay experience in Frontend Observability. Evaluate the format and API tradeoffs rather than assuming the current prototype approach is final.
Define quality and compatibility: automated tests, CI, device and OS coverage, and backwards-compatible upgrade paths for an SDK that customers cannot easily update.
Engage directly with customers: join calls, gather structured feedback, and help teams instrument and adopt Mobile Session Replay
