Description

Overview

We're looking for experienced Grafana power users to design expert-level evaluation tasks that test whether AI agents can use Grafana the way a real professional does. Your domain expertise is what makes these tasks authentic.

What You'll Do

  • Design realistic, multi-step Grafana workflows - dashboards, alerting rules, data source configuration, panel setup, cross-module operations

  • Perform each workflow yourself on a hosted Grafana instance

to produce a reference trajectory

  • Write clear, specific task prompts with measurable outcomes that can be verified programmatically

  • Implement programmatic graders that check whether each instruction was completed correctly

  • Review AI agent attempts at your tasks, identify where and why they fail, and tag root causes

  • Calibrate task difficulty so tasks are challenging but solvable - iterating on prompts and constraints based on model performance

Requirements

  • 2+ years of daily, professional Grafana experience (SRE, Platform Engineering, Observability, or similar)

  • Deep familiarity with PromQL, dashboard templating, alerting pipelines, and data source configuration (Prometheus, InfluxDB, etc.)

  • Ability to articulate workflows clearly enough for programmatic verification

  • Comfort writing basic grading scripts (Python; engineering support provided as needed)

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Grafana API automation

  • Kubernetes/infrastructure monitoring background

  • Familiarity with AI evaluation or benchmarking

Time Commitment

  • 10-15 hrs/week minimum during the project

  • Fast turnaround expected - responsiveness matters
