About this role

Role Overview

Grafana Labs is seeking a remote Staff Product Manager for OpenTelemetry Experience to own the end-to-end journey for helping people and coding agents instrument workloads and successfully send useful telemetry to Grafana Cloud. Based in the United States (focusing on candidates in US EST), this role is perfect for a technical product leader with a strong background in developer tools, observability, or infrastructure who wants to drive a cross-product strategy in a 100% remote organization.

Key Responsibilities

Define the product vision, strategy, and cross-product roadmap for guiding uninstrumented workloads to healthy, useful telemetry in Grafana Cloud solutions.
Create clear, opinionated onboarding experiences across SDK instrumentation, automatic instrumentation, and Collector-based deployments while preserving advanced flexibility.
Identify and remove leading causes of setup failure, misconfiguration, and low-quality telemetry.
Establish shared experience principles, priorities, and success metrics across multiple engineering and product teams.
Partner closely with downstream Grafana Cloud solution teams to ensure a smooth transition from telemetry ingestion to meaningful product activation.
Collaborate with Product Marketing and go-to-market teams to build product narratives, launch campaigns, technical content, and demand-generation programs.
Actively use AI tools to synthesize customer research, explore technical workflows, prototype experiences, and test agent-led instrumentation journeys.

Requirements

5+ years of Product Management experience in developer tools, observability, infrastructure, data platforms, or other technically complex B2B domains.
Experience leading strategy and execution across multiple engineering teams or product areas without direct organizational authority.
Strong working knowledge of OpenTelemetry, including SDK instrumentation, OTLP, Collector pipelines, telemetry context, and semantic conventions.
Experience using or building instrumentation systems, agents, telemetry collectors, or configuration infrastructure.
Understanding of the challenges involved in deploying and operating software across Kubernetes, virtual machines, and public cloud environments.
History of translating complex onboarding and troubleshooting workflows into intuitive product experiences.
Strong customer research and data-driven decision-making skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills tailored for a distributed global team.

Nice to Have

Experience contributing to or building products around the OpenTelemetry or broader open-source observability ecosystem.
Familiarity with automatic instrumentation, eBPF, or runtime-based instrumentation.
Firsthand professional background as an SRE, platform engineer, developer, or observability practitioner.
Experience building product-led onboarding, configuration-validation, or telemetry-health experiences at scale.

Skills and Tools

OpenTelemetry, SDK instrumentation, OTLP, and Collector pipelines
Kubernetes, virtual machines, and public cloud environments
AI tools for product research, prototyping, and synthesis
Cross-functional product management, strategy, and stakeholder alignment
