Senior Product Engineer, Backend (Node.js + Go)
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. The Opportunity Dash0 is looking for a Senior Product Engineer to join our Agent0 team — the team building our Agentic AI Platform for Observability. This is where AI meets infrastructure engineering, and we need someone who can bridge the gap between complex AI workflows and rock-solid software engineering. You won't just be writing backend services. You'll work at the intersection of agentic frameworks, code sandboxes, and application runtimes — partnering directly with AI engineers to make their models performant and reliable in production. If you're excited about building the engine behind autonomous AI agents that transform how developers work with observability, this is your role.
What You'll Do
Build and evolve the backend infrastructure for Dash0's Agentic AI Platform, working primarily in Node.js with Go for performance-critical components. Partner with AI engineers to optimize agentic workflows, providing the deep software engineering skills necessary to make AI models reliable and performant in production. Architect and evolve our security strategy for executing unknown and potentially unsafe code — ensuring the system remains secure, efficient, and robust. Co-own platform stability, identifying technical risks early and ensuring monitoring and observability signals are world-class. Establish new patterns for agentic services, including distributed systems design, async debugging, and production resilience. Mentor other engineers on backend best practices and contribute to the technical direction of the Agent0 product roadmap. What You Bring Deep experience in Node.js and proficiency in Go — polyglot by necessity, not just preference. Strong understanding of distributed systems, async architectures, and production reliability. A genuine interest in AI and eagerness to experiment in a rapidly evolving space — you don't need to be an ML engineer, but you're excited about building the infrastructure that makes AI agents work. Experience architecting for security in environments where untrusted code execution is a concern. Expertise leveraging AI and agentic coding tools to accelerate development while maintaining high technical judgment. Strong communication skills with a focus on documentation and knowledge sharing — you value autonomy but keep the team informed.
Nice to Have
Experience building or operating agentic AI systems, LLM pipelines, or code sandbox environments. Familiarity with the OpenTelemetry ecosystem or observability infrastructure. Experience in a high-growth, venture-backed startup environment. 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.
