Website Grafana Labs
Grafana is the de facto standard open-source dashboarding tool for visualizing and analyzing metrics. Since Grafana is open source, our user base ranges from finance firms on Wall Street to small beehive community groups. The most common use case for Grafana is infrastructure and application monitoring. Grafana helps companies gain insight into how their applications and users behave, enabling them to iterate and improve faster. It is an exciting opportunity to actively contribute to helping the Grafana Labs team build a product that enables our users to communicate with data and delight our users. You will also have the opportunity to help the team maintain and continue to build close links with our open-source community.
The Authorization And Authentication Team At Grafana
Millions of users sign in to Grafana every day to keep their software, factories, and space healthy and performant. We make sure they can do so as easily as possible, and we help admins sleep well at night knowing that their users have access to just the right data and functionality.
As a Grafana Authorization and Authentication team, we are responsible for everything related to authorization and authentication in Grafana. Our daily work often spans both open-source and proprietary code. Our next challenges revolve around streamlining and standardization of the authentication and authorization experience in Grafana, while maintaining our existing functionality, and supporting the community & customers.
We embrace experimentation, and lean principles, and encourage everyone to share their ideas and perspectives. Come and join us if you’re interested in anything and everything authentication/authorization, and enjoy working with OSS as well as with proprietary software.
