Grafana Engineer at Veterans United Home Loans in Columbia, Missouri

Job Description:

Whether your background is in software engineering, web development, or a related technical field, you can thrive in this role. As an internet-based company, we're looking for confidence in basic computer technologies and a solid grasp of software engineering principles. Specifically, we're looking for the following qualifications:

• 2+ years of hands-on experience installing, configuring, and supporting monitoring and observability tools (Grafana, Splunk, SolarWinds, etc.)
  
  


• Strong expertise in Linux and Windows server administration
  
  


• Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, a related field, or equivalent experience
  
  

If you're comfortable planning, organizing, and designing complex design activities, navigating these tools and technologies, managing projects effectively, and influencing others without formal authority, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.



About The Role:



As a Grafana Engineer, you'll be the go-to expert for keeping our monitoring and observability platforms running smoothly. From installation and configuration to maintenance and optimization, you'll make sure everything operates seamlessly to support our business and drive smart decisions. You'll work with teams across the company to understand their needs, offer technical guidance, and even mentor junior team members.


Here's a snapshot of what you'd be doing:

• Leading the process of installing, configuring, and keeping key applications up to date.
  
  


• Keeping a close eye on system performance-troubleshooting, optimizing, and scaling to handle growing data and usage.
  
  


• Taking ownership of complex technical issues, working with vendors and internal teams to find solutions and keep everything running reliably.
  
  


• Working closely with teams across the company to understand their needs, share best practices, and help them get the most out of our systems.
  
  


• Researching new technologies and tools to level up our monitoring and observability, bringing fresh ideas to make things more efficient and effective.
  
  


• Pitching in wherever needed (excluding licensed tasks) to help foster a supportive and collaborative team culture.
  
  

About You:

• Learning new technology excites you, and you know how to break down complex tech talk into simple, clear language that anyone can understand.
  
  


• With a strong work ethic and a demonstrated ability to work well under pressure, you're the type of person people trust to get things done.
  
  


• Change doesn't throw you off-you're adaptable, thrive in fast-paced environments, and know how to prioritize and meet deadlines.
  
  


• You're a strong communicator who knows how to bring people together, whether it's keeping your team motivated, resolving conflicts, or making sure everyone is working toward the same goal. You lead with confidence, provide great customer service, and thrive in a collaborative, high-performing environment.
  
  


• You don't just understand soft skills-you put them into action every day, whether it's building relationships, handling tough conversations, or working through challenges with a positive mindset.
  
  


• You show up consistently and can be counted on to get the job done.
