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.
Dash0 is building the observability platform that developers actually want to use — OpenTelemetry-native, transparent, and designed to eliminate the lock-in and complexity that define the incumbent players. As we expand engineering capacity globally, we're looking for a Mid-Level Platform Engineer to join our growing team in the Sydney area.
This role is fully remote, but you'll be based in the Sydney, Australia area to collaborate regularly in person with the existing regional team member. You'll work across infrastructure, automation, and reliability — owning foundational systems that let our product teams move fast without breaking things. If you're a few years into your platform engineering career and ready to take on real ownership in a fast-moving environment, this is the right next step.
What You'll Do
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation to support continuous, high-quality software delivery
Provision and manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform, keeping things scalable, secure, and well-documented
Partner with product engineering teams to design resilient, cloud-native solutions and review code for quality and standards adherence
Monitor, troubleshoot, and improve platform performance and availability — including on-call coverage when needed
Embed security best practices into platform design, from access controls and encryption through to deployment pipelines
Contribute to platform architecture decisions and help evolve our infrastructure as the product and team scale
Write and maintain technical documentation: architecture diagrams, runbooks, and infrastructure standards
What You Bring
3–5 years of platform, infrastructure, or DevOps engineering experience
Solid Go (GoLang) programming skills — you're writing and reviewing production Go code, not just reading it
Hands-on experience with Terraform or comparable infrastructure-as-code tooling
Working knowledge of containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
Experience building and operating CI/CD pipelines in a cloud environment (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
Strong async communication skills — you're comfortable working across time zones and explaining infrastructure decisions to non-infrastructure engineers
Based in the Sydney, Australia area with the ability to meet the local team in person regularly
Nice to Have
Experience with observability tooling, monitoring platforms, or OpenTelemetry instrumentation
Familiarity with security compliance frameworks relevant to SaaS platforms (e.g., SOC 2, ISO 27001)
Experience in a high-growth, venture-backed startup environment
