Senior Product Engineer - Backend (General / Flex)

The Opportunity

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.

What You'll Do

• 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.

What You Bring

• 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.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Java in addition to Go.
• Background in billing, metering, or revenue engineering systems.
• Experience in a high-growth, venture-backed startup environment.

Why Dash0

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.
