## 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. We are bringing on our second legal hire to work alongside our General Counsel and VP of Operations as a true generalist. Excellent credentials and experience are a plus as always, but we are primarily interested in someone who is willing to be scrappy, learn on the fly, tackle unclear problems, juggle conflicting priorities, and take ownership. The immediate priority is our EMEA commercial pipeline, but the role will not have strict guardrails and would be as expansive as business needs and your willingness to grow allow.

## What You'll Do

- Draft, review, and assist in negotiating enterprise customer agreements and other commercial agreements, working closely with Sales to drive deals from origination to closing.
- Advise on compliance across corporate, employment, data privacy, AI, and other regulatory areas.
- Support corporate governance workstreams, including entity management and board and stockholder matters.
- Support the People & Culture team with policy rollouts and employee-related queries.
- Support M&A and financing processes, including diligence workstreams
- Assist with cap table and equity plan management and documentation.
- Manage projects with outside counsel.
- Partner directly with Product, Engineering, Sales, HR, and Finance to ensure legal alignment on projects.
- Prepare internal legal training materials, documentation, and guidelines for team members.

## What You Bring

- We are big on soft skills. Hard skills can typically be trained.
- A low-ego, high-ownership approach.
- 4+ years of relevant legal experience in demanding roles where you took on significant early responsibility.
- A law degree and an active license to practice in an EMEA jurisdiction.
- Strong contract drafting and negotiation skills, with particular depth in B2B SaaS commercial agreements.
- EU and international data privacy experience.
- Prior experience working with or within international companies, ideally US-based tech or SaaS businesses.
- The communication skills and social intelligence to build trust across a globally dispersed team and coordinate complex issues across functions.

## 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

## About Dash0

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Dash0 provides an OpenTelemetry-native observability platform that correlates logs, metrics, and traces to help developers and SREs monitor and troubleshoot distributed systems.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series B – $110M round at $1B valuation as of March 2026)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Not publicly disclosed (CEO: Mirko Novakovic)

## Core Business
- **Primary industries**: Software development, cloud infrastructure monitoring, observability (APM, distributed tracing, log management, Kubernetes monitoring)
- **Target customers**: Developers, SREs, platform engineers – primarily B2B enterprise and mid-market teams running modern, distributed systems
- **Mission / purpose**: “Make Observability easy for every developer” – simplify collection, correlation, and cost management of telemetry data using open standards

## Products & Services
- **Dash0 Observability Platform** (SaaS): End-to-end observability with traces, logs, and metrics in a single interface. OpenTelemetry-native, supports PromQL, Perses dashboards, and configuration-as-code.
- **Agent0** (AI feature suite): An autonomous engineering agent that scans services, investigates incidents, and ships validated fixes as pull requests – built on the OpenTelemetry data Dash0 collects.
- **Dash0 Integrations**: Pre-built integrations for Kubernetes, cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure), and open-source tools (OpenTelemetry Collector, Prometheus). Over 400 alert templates.
- **Cyber0** (upcoming): Security observability platform (mentioned in job postings for Senior PM role).
- **Lumigo (acquired)**: Serverless observability technology integrated into Dash0 after acquisition.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: $1 billion (as of Series B in March 2026)
- **Key Metric**: Total funding $155M (seed $9.5M, Series A $35M, Series B $110M)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Accel (lead seed), DIG Ventures (lead Series A), Balderton Capital (lead Series B), Cherry Ventures, and others.
- **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew to ~126 employees (monthly +8.4%); active job postings increased 123.8% quarterly; acquired Lumigo; launched AI agent Agent0; expanding enterprise sales team (EMEA, Nordics, North America).

## Competitive Advantages
- **OpenTelemetry-native** – no vendor lock-in; data collection, transmission, and analysis follow open standards.
- **Transparent pricing** – pay per telemetry signal (logs, spans, metric data points), not per user or GB, reducing cost unpredictability.
- **Perses dashboard compatibility** – dashboards are open-source compatible, allowing import/export and code management.
- **AI as a subtle enhancement** – AI features (Agent0) reduce manual toil without hallucinations or black-box decisions.
- **Built by observability experts** – team with deep roots at Dynatrace, Datadog, Grafana, and IBM Instana.

## Strategic Focus
- **Enterprise go-to-market**: Growing sales teams across North America and Europe, targeting large accounts (enterprise account executives, solutions architects).
- **Security expansion**: Developing Cyber0, a dedicated security observability product.
- **Developer experience**: Keyboard-first navigation, dark mode, configuration-as-code, and CLI-friendly workflows.
- **Open-source leadership**: Continued investment in OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, and Perses contributions.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: “From Engineers, for Engineers” – emphasis on productivity, flexibility, and eliminating toil. Small but high-leverage teams.
- **Remote/Hybrid**: Fully remote-friendly (headquartered in New York but employees spread across 17 countries including Germany, Netherlands, UK, Israel, Serbia). Hiring globally.
- **Engineering environment**: Open-source driven, modern tech stack (OpenTelemetry, PromQL, Kubernetes). Opportunity to work on AI-agent features (Agent0).
- **Growth trajectory**: Rapidly scaling startup post-Series B with $1B valuation – offers early-stage responsibility and career acceleration.
- **Reviews (LinkedIn)**: Employer rating 3.0/5.0 (based on 2 reviews) – work-life balance 1.5, compensation 2.5. Limited data; candidates should validate during interviews.
- **Open roles**: 47 active postings; top roles include Forward Deployed Engineer, Enterprise Account Exec, Solutions Architect, Head of Design, and Senior PMs.
