Data Engineer - Grafana and Data Visualization

💻 About the Role 

We are looking for a Data Engineer specializing in Grafana and data visualization platforms to help us build and productize visualization capabilities within our industrial CMMS platform. 

This role goes beyond dashboard creation — you will embed and integrate Grafana into a commercial on-premise product, enabling real-time monitoring, customizable dashboards, and scalable data-driven insights for industrial environments. 

You will play a key role in shaping how data is collected, processed, and visualized across our platform, with future opportunities to evolve into enterprise-grade product architecture. 

🎯 What You Will Do 

• Design and implement Grafana dashboards for industrial monitoring and analytics  
• Embed Grafana into our platform (iframe, reverse proxy, API integration)  
• Enable user-driven dashboard customization (variables, filters, layouts)  
• Integrate Grafana with multiple data sources (SQL, APIs, time-series DBs)  
• Build and optimize data pipelines for real-time and large-scale data processing  
• Collaborate with backend engineers on data ingestion and architecture  
• Ensure performance, scalability, and usability in on-premise environments  
• Contribute to evolving our architecture from OSS-based to enterprise-grade solutions  

🔑 Required Skills

• Strong hands-on experience with Grafana (dashboards, panels, variables)  
• Experience embedding or integrating Grafana into applications  
• Experience with time-series and analytical data  

Data Engineering

Work Style 

• Strong problem-solving skills and ownership mindset  
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment  
• Excellent communication skills  

🌟 Nice to Have 

• Experience with industrial data, IoT, or monitoring systems  
• Experience with streaming technologies (Kafka, MQTT)  
• Experience customizing Grafana (plugins, extensions)  
• Understanding of open-source licensing (e.g., AGPL)
