Director of Engineering, AI

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's AI product, Agent0, is not a chatbot or a feature add-on. It is the core of where we are heading. As AI writes more code, software reaches production faster and at greater scale, often with less human understanding of what is actually running. To ship at agentic speed, you need to be able to run production at agentic speed. This is what Agent0 does. It scans your telemetry, connects to your codebase, and fixes issues before you even notice them. Then it closes the loop and helps you improve your system. We are looking for a Director of Engineering for our AI team: a rare combination of visionary and doer. You will own the engineering of Agent0, leading a growing team and working in close partnership with Product, VP Engineering, and the rest of the Dash0 team. This is a product engineering role. You are responsible for building and shipping Agent0, not enabling AI across the company. You will lead the team that defines, designs, and delivers the product. We would love you to be hands-on: prototyping ideas, evaluating new models, sparring with staff engineers on architecture, and setting the bar for what great AI engineering looks like in production. At the same time, you are the person who keeps the team focused and ships real value to customers, not just chasing the latest shiny thing. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Co-own the Agent0 roadmap with Product, drive execution with discipline and consistency, and ensure what the team builds is grounded in what customers actually need. - Drive delivery and focus. Pick the right bets, ship them, and keep the team away from the many interesting-but-not-now directions the AI landscape constantly offers. - Hire, mentor,
