Legal Counsel

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.

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.
