Your role in Dash0
At Dash0, your mission will be developing, maintaining, testing and supporting the Dash0 Kubernetes Operator, an open source component that our customers use to set up telemetry collection in their Kubernetes cluster as easily as possible. The Dash0 operator auto-instruments workloads for tracing, collects logs and metrics and manages OpenTelemetry collectors in the target cluster.
This ensures a smooth end-to-end experience, as setting up OpenTelemetry in production infrastructure is far from trivial. Together with your fellow engineers and product managers, you'll build new features for the operator, chiming in wherever you see room for improvement or opportunities for making Dash0 even more effortless to use for our customers.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate on design: You'll work closely with product management to analyze requirements and shape the scope and design of new features for the operator.
- Build and test: You'll implement and rigorously test new operator features, ensuring they meet our high standards for quality and reliability.
- Champion robustness: You'll be responsible for improving the operator's stability, ensuring our customers have a smooth and seamless experience, no matter what. Since our customers deploy the operator in their infrastructure, the robustness and safety of this component is paramount.
- Share your knowledge: You'll actively contribute to documentation, share your expertise with the team, and communicate effectively with everyone, both technical and non-technical.
- Test, test, test: You'll write a variety of tests, from unit tests to end-to-end tests, to validate the operator's behavior and ensure it's always rock-solid.
- Think big picture: You'll think about our product as whole, ensuring the operator seamlessly integrates with our backend and UI to deliver maximum value to our customers.
- Expand support: You'll add support for new runtimes and programming languages (eg. Python, C#, etc.) by integrating their OpenTelemetry SDKs with the operator.
- Be a customer hero: You'll work directly with customers to troubleshoot and resolve issues, ensuring they have a fantastic experience with Dash0.
