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 Head of Design to lead our design team and define how developers and SREs experience observability. Reporting to the VP of Product, you'll own the design function end-to-end — setting the vision, building the team, and ensuring we ship world-class experiences across the platform.
This is a rare opportunity to shape the design culture of a product that technical users genuinely love, during a phase where your decisions will define the experience for years to come.
What You'll Do
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.
