Job Description
About Dash0
Join Dash0 and help us define the future of observability. We are OpenTelemetry-native, building a delightful, simple, and AI-centric platform that eliminates vendor lock-in and meaningless toil. Shape a product that developers love—all with transparent pricing and cost-control built in.
Let's Build a Data Engine at Scale!
Are you ready to build the backbone of a product that customers genuinely love?
At Dash0, we're not just building another observability tool; we're on a mission to bring observability closer to the developers; make it a part of their everyday work. We believe that getting deep insights should be easy and accessible. Our customers praise our simpler solution that empowers developers, and we're scaling fast. We’re looking for Product Engineers to join our Backend Platform Team, which lays the foundation for all the great features Dash0 offers and we’ll be building in the future. And that's where you come in!
The Challenge You'll Tackle:
Design and build a data pipeline at massive scale. Our core platform is expanding rapidly. We need your expertise to build highly scalable and resilient backend services in Go to ensure our platform can ingest, process, and query massive amounts of telemetry data with unwavering reliability.
Solve complex data engineering puzzles. How do we efficiently store and query terabytes of data in ClickHouse? How do we optimize our data pipelines for cost and performance as we grow? You'll be at the heart of these critical architectural decisions.
Architect for the future. As we add more cutting-edge features, you'll lay the foundational backend architecture that allows us to innovate quickly. Think robust microservices, intelligent data routing, and seamless integration with new data sources.
What Success Looks Like (and How You'll Get There):
Within 1 week, you'll have shipped your first piece of production code.
Within 3 months, you'll have shipped significant features and improvements to our core data ingestion or processing pipeline, directly impacting platform performance and reliability.
Within 6 months, you'll be a go-to expert for key areas of our backend, mentoring other engineers and proposing innovative solutions to our toughest scaling challenges. You'll be working alongside some truly brilliant minds who are eager to collaborate and learn with you.
Within 12 months, you'll have played a pivotal role in evolving our backend architecture to support the next generation of Dash0 features, helping us stay ahead in a competitive market.
We're looking for someone who:
Has extensive experience building and scaling distributed backend systems in Go.
Is deeply familiar with high-performance columnar data stores like ClickHouse.
Loves designing clean, robust RESTful APIs and understands the nuances of distributed systems.
Has a knack for building and optimizing data pipelines.
Thrives in a fast-paced startup environment where you can make a huge impact.
Is passionate about observability and making developers' lives easier.
Why Dash0?
Real Impact: See your code directly improve the performance and capabilities of our core platform.
Brilliant Team: Learn from and contribute to a team of highly talented and passionate engineers. We value learning and growth!
Product-Market Fit: We're solving a real problem with a product that's gaining serious traction.
Fully Remote & Flexible: Work from anywhere in Europe with competitive salary and stock options.
Ready to build the future of observability with us? Apply now!
Why Dash0
This is a unique opportunity to help build a generational company. Dash0 is backed by top-tier investors including Balderton Capital, Accel and Cherry Ventures and led by a founding team with decades of experience in observability. We're in the middle of a massive growth phase after our Series B — and we're just getting started.
If you're looking for a place where a great product meets great people, where momentum is real and your impact is visible from day one — this is it.
What we offer:
Competitive salary & meaningful equity participation — you'll own part of what you're building
Flexible, remote-first work environment with offices in New York, Amsterdam, and Munich
€60/month phone & internet allowance
Location-specific benefits
Collaborative, fast-moving team culture with a builder mindset
Clear path for career growth and development
Direct access to founders and leadership
