Grafana Labs experienced significant growth over the past year, hiring more than 250 employees during the challenges of the global pandemic, which included travel restrictions that meant not meeting over 60% of the team in person. Despite being a remote-first company from the beginning, maintaining the company's culture and priorities amidst rapid expansion and external disruptions has been a key focus. Grafana Labs' efforts have been recognized by Forbes as a 2021 Best Startup Employer and by Inc. as one of the best places to work for the second consecutive year. The company prioritizes building a workplace that employees are proud of over merely reaching headcount targets, and it invites potential candidates to explore opportunities on its updated careers page.
