You'll partner with sales and product teams to deliver high‑impact Proofs of Concept, guide observability architecture discussions, and ensure customers realize the full technical value of Dash0. This role can be based anywhere in the UK. Note: Your internal title would be a Solutions Architect. Our Solutions Engineers work across both Pre‑Sales and Post‑Sales!

• Collaborate closely with Account Executives throughout the sales cycle to position Dash0 as the technical solution of choice.


• Provide architecture guidance and best practices for observability setup, telemetry data modeling, and OpenTelemetry collector design.


• Create and maintain reusable demo environments, reference architectures, and POC templates.


• Partner with Product Management to provide technical insights that influence roadmap and feature priorities.

What You Bring

• Deep technical knowledge in Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, observability pipelines, and distributed tracing.


• Hands‑on experience with instrumentation, telemetry data ingestion, and performance optimization.


• Strong understanding of modern DevOps, SRE, and platform engineering practices.


• Excellent communication skills – you can explain complex observability concepts clearly to both engineers and decision‑makers.


• Ability to create and execute technical demos, architectures, and POCs that prove business value.
  
• Collaborative mindset – you work seamlessly across Sales, Product, and Engineering teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience with CRM tools (HubSpot) for collaboration and pipeline visibility.


• Contributions to technical content – blog posts, conference talks, or open‑source documentation.


• Familiarity with the CNCF ecosystem and community.


• Experience in a high‑growth, venture‑backed startup environment.

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.
