Senior Product Engineer - Backend (General / Flex)

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.

Dash0 is looking for a Senior Product Engineer to join one of our core backend teams — Intelligent Edge, Revenue Engineering, or Platform. You'll build everything from high-scale data pipelines and edge processing to the usage-based billing systems that power our business.

This is a role where product thinking matters as much as engineering craft. You'll work at the intersection of massive-scale infrastructure and business-critical systems — processing billions of signals, querying terabytes of data, and ensuring accuracy in metering systems where real money is on the line. We need someone who cares about the end-user experience and the economic efficiency of every technical decision.

• →

  Build highly scalable and resilient backend services in Go — from core ingestion pipelines and edge processing to usage-based billing infrastructure.

• →

  Solve data engineering challenges at scale, including efficiently querying terabytes of data in ClickHouse and ensuring data accuracy in complex metering systems.

• →

  Collaborate with product teams to evaluate the economic efficiency of technical designs and ensure maximum value for customers — you're a Product Engineer, not just a coder.

• →

  Architect and evolve backend systems to handle billions of observability signals with low latency and high reliability.

• →

  Define standards for code quality and testing, serving as a mentor to the team and ensuring systems remain maintainable as we scale.

• →

  Drive best practices for Go services and OpenTelemetry distributions across the engineering organization.

• Extensive experience building and scaling distributed backend systems, primarily in Go.

• Familiarity with high-performance data stores like ClickHouse or messaging systems like Kafka.

• A product mindset — you care about the end-user experience and think about the business impact of your technical decisions.

• Strong understanding of observability principles, including experience with OpenTelemetry and Prometheus.

• Experience designing for reliability, scalability, and operational excellence in production environments.

• A collaborative approach to engineering — you mentor others, share knowledge, and raise the bar for the team.

• Experience with Java in addition to Go.

• Background in billing, metering, or revenue engineering systems.

• Experience in a high-growth, venture-backed startup environment.

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.
