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 remote position. We are looking for candidates in the US (Eastern time zone).
The opportunityAs a Senior Product Designer at Grafana Labs, you will join a growing Product Design organization of more than 25 designers, researchers, and design leaders distributed across six continents. You will work within a 100% remote R&D organization, so strong, proactive remote communication, collaboration, facilitation, and relationship building skills will be essential to your success.
As the Product Designer for Grafana Cloud’s usage and billing experience, you’ll help our customers clearly understand what they’re spending on each of our products. You will focus on making historical, current, and projected future usage transparent and easy to understand, allowing customers to view and analyze exactly what they’ve spent, what they’re spending now, and what they’re likely to spend in the future. Your mission will be to create a unified experience that brings together our diverse product suite—each with its own unique billing model—into a clear, cohesive, and transparent view that builds trust with our users. Your work will empower customers to get from insights to action: optimize their consumption within their desired budget and maximize the value they’re getting from Grafana Cloud.
Over time, you will develop deep expertise in your product area and associated customer and user personas, use cases, and workflows, which will enable you to design tailored, role-driven experiences. You will drive measurable iterative improvements and enable all audiences to understand and optimize their usage and cost.
You will also have an opportunity to contribute to the evolution of the Product Design team at Grafana by coaching and mentoring other designers, collaborating on team internal initiatives, and helping evolve new ways of working, learning, and having fun together as the team scales.

- Ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams across multiple locations and time-zones to iteratively ship and evolve products while keeping the end design vision in mind

- Experience working in a fully-remote, fast-paced environment where you are expected to share openly, default to transparency, and embrace your autonomy
- Experience designing easy-to-grasp finance, billing or cost-related workflows
- Ability to rapidly gain an understanding of a technical domain and associated customer needs and user workflows in order to design effective experiences within that domain
