Engineering Manager, Grafana Application Security

Grafana Labs is 100% remote across more than 40 countries, and this role manages the application security engineering team behind Grafana Cloud.

The posting is honest about the shape of the problem in a way that security job descriptions usually are not. Two lines carry it: "You'll be accountable for the security of software you don't write, in teams that don't report to you", and "The people who do well in this role get there by making the secure path the easiest one". That is the actual job. Around it sits developing and implementing security strategy, liaising with the other teams that own parts of the overall posture, and raising programme maturity through automation and systematic approaches in a cloud SaaS organisation.

It also asks for judgement rather than throughput: being able to tell a finding from a risk, and prioritising mitigation so the squad spends its time on what matters. Significant engineering background is required. Grafana posts this req separately for the UK, Spain and Ireland, each with its own currency; this is the UK one. Remote, UK.
