Commercial Solutions Engineer - West Coast

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 developers love, with transparent pricing and built-in cost control.

The Opportunity

As an Commercial Solutions Engineer, you will act as a trusted technical advisor to our largest customers and prospects. You'll bridge the gap between product and customer outcomes — designing, demonstrating, and validating Dash0's technical capabilities in real-world enterprise environments.

You'll partner with sales and product teams to deliver high-impact Proofs of Concept, guide observability architecture discussions, and ensure customers realize the full technical value of Dash0. This is a US-based remote role with business travel required.

This role is fully remote and can be based anywhere on the West Coast.

Note: Your internal title would be a Solutions Architect. Our Solutions Engineers work across both Pre-Sales and Post-Sales!

What You'll Do

• Design and architect observability solutions leveraging OpenTelemetry, Kubernetes, and cloud-native technologies
• Translate complex customer requirements into scalable, performant Dash0 implementations
• Develop and execute Proofs of Concept that highlight Dash0's differentiated technical capabilities
• Deliver engaging technical demos and presentations tailored to engineering and executive audiences
• Partner with Account Executives throughout the sales cycle to position Dash0 as the technical solution of choice
• Provide architecture guidance on observability setup, telemetry data modeling, and OpenTelemetry collector design
• Create and maintain reusable demo environments, reference architectures, and POC templates
• Contribute to technical content — blog posts, conference talks, and documentation that drive community engagement

What You Bring

• Deep technical knowledge in Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry, observability pipelines, and distributed tracing
• Hands-on experience with instrumentation, telemetry data ingestion, and performance optimization
• Strong understanding of modern DevOps, SRE, and platform engineering practices
• Proven ability to create and execute technical demos, architectures, and POCs that prove business value
• Strong technical communication skills — you can explain complex observability concepts clearly to engineers and decision-makers alike
• Collaborative mindset — you work seamlessly across Sales, Product, and Engineering teams to drive results
• Problem-solving instinct — you thrive on diagnosing and resolving technical challenges with creativity and precision

Nice to Have

• Experience working in a pre-sales or Sales Engineering capacity at a B2B SaaS company
• Active contributions to OpenTelemetry or the broader observability ecosystem
• Familiarity with CRM tools like Salesforce or HubSpot
• Experience in a high-growth, venture-backed startup environment
