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 Architect a Data Engine at Scale.
Are you ready to define the technical future of a product that developers 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 are looking for a Staff Product Engineer to lead the architectural vision of our backend, joining one of our groundbreaking teams: the Revenue Engineering team, responsible for architecting our usage-based billing system (handling complex metering) and automating the flow of data between our product, Stripe, cloud marketplaces and internal reporting systems, among other things. You won't just write code; you will own the technical roadmap, drive economic efficiency in our data infrastructure, and mentor a team of brilliant engineers.
The Challenge You'll Tackle:
Turn usage into revenue. We charge based on data, which means we need rock-solid metering. You’ll build the systems that count every event, sync it with payment providers, and ensure invoices are accurate down to the cent.
Drive reliability and risk management. You will own the reliability of the platform, proactively identifying risks before they become incidents. You’ll foster a security-first culture and ensure our monitoring efforts are world-class.
Provide mentorship and improve the process. You will define the standards for code quality, testing, and observability. You act as a force multiplier—mentoring others, reviewing PRDs to ensure technical feasibility, and simplifying complex technical designs to align with product goals.
What Success Looks Like (and How You'll Get There):
Within 1 week, you'll have shipped your first piece of production ready code.
Within 3 months, you’ll extend our billing system and provide more transparency into usage and help our customers to maintain full control over observability cost. This includes improving cost visibility through usage dashboards and forecasting, and strengthening the notification pipeline to ensure timely alerts reach the right stakeholders.
Within 6 months, you’ll establish new architectural patterns in Go in our billing solution, raising the bar for reliability and maintainability. You'll deepen integrations with marketplace and CRM tools, and actively mentor engineers across the organization on billing architecture and third-party integrations.
Within 12 months, you'll be a technical authority for our revenue engineering backend, having guided the team through major scaling challenges across billing, metering, and marketplace integrations. You'll shape the product roadmap by bridging technical constraints with customer needs - translating usage patterns and cost control requirements into reliable, scalable billing infrastructure.
We're looking for someone who:
(The Big One) Has experience with billing systems or usage-based pricing models (Stripe API experience is a huge plus).
Has deep architectural expertise in building and scaling distributed backend systems using Go (mandatory). You understand the trade-offs of different patterns and can explain them clearly. Java knowledge is a nice extra!
Expertly leverages AI and agentic coding tools to accelerate development, applying deep technical judgment to verify, refine, and own the final output.
Understands that data accuracy is everything when money is involved. You test thoroughly because you know a bug here affects the bottom line.
Has a "product mindset" for internal tools. You believe the tools our employees use should be just as polished as the ones our customers use.
Is a natural mentor and cultural leader. You have a track record of improving team processes, fostering psychological safety, and elevating the quality of work around you.
Lives and breathes Observability. As an expert in OpenTelemetry and monitoring, you contribute to improving observability not just in our product, but within our own engineering practices.
