Platform Engineer (Sydney, Australia)

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 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

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.
