Dash0

<div><h3 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>About Dash0</b></h3><p>
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&mdash;all with transparent pricing and cost-control built in.</p><p><b>
The Opportunity</b></p><p>
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.
</p><p>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.
</p><p>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.</p><p></p><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
What You&rsquo;ll Do</b></h1><ul><li><p>
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.
</p></li><li><p>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.
</p></li><li><p>Hire, mentor, and grow a team of senior software and AI engineers. Manage managers as the team scales.
</p></li><li><p>Set the standard for production-grade AI engineering: evaluation pipelines, context management, testing strategies, and the kind of rigour applied to any mission-critical system.
</p></li><li><p>Stay genuinely current with foundation models, agentic architectures, and the broader AI ecosystem, and translate that knowledge into concrete product decisions and prototypes.
</p></li><li><p>Build proofs of concept yourself, earn credibility with senior ICs by showing rather than telling, and bring the team along on the journey.
</p></li><li><p>Champion AI production excellence internally and represent Dash0's perspective on how AIassisted systems should be built and operated in production.</p></li></ul><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>
What You Bring</b></h1><ul><li><p>
A proven track record building agentic AI products in production. You understand the profound difference between an internal chatbot and a productised agent that customers depend on for mission-critical work.
</p></li><li><p>Experience building and managing teams. You have hired at scale, built from the ground up, and led teams of 15 or more engineers to success.
</p></li><li><p>Deep hands-on knowledge of agentic architectures: context management, tool use, eval frameworks, retrieval-augmented generation, and multi-step reasoning pipelines.
</p></li><li><p>A rigorous, systematic approach to AI quality: evals, regression checks, human-in-the-loop review, and production monitoring.
</p></li><li><p>Strong cross-functional communication skills. You can align engineers, product managers, and executives around a shared direction and act as a true peer to Product.
</p></li><li><p>Passion for speed and impact. You thrive in a fast-paced, remote-first startup environment where autonomy is high and value to customers is everything.
</p></li><li><p>The discipline to focus: genuine curiosity about where AI is heading, combined with the judgment to pick one direction and finish it.</p><p><b>
Nice to Have</b></p></li><li><p>
Experience with observability, distributed tracing, APM, or the OpenTelemetry ecosystem.</p></li><li><p>
A background as a hands-on ML or AI engineer before moving into engineering leadership.</p></li><li><p>
Familiarity with data pipelines and the role of data quality in delivering high-quality AI experiences.</p></li><li><p>
Experience in a high-growth, venture-backed startup environment.</p></li></ul><p><b>
Why Dash0</b></p><p>
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 &mdash; and we're just getting started.</p><p>
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 &mdash; this is it.</p><p></p><p><b>
What we offer:</b></p><ul><li><p>
Competitive salary &amp; meaningful equity participation &mdash; you'll own part of what you're building</p></li><li><p>
Flexible, remote-first work environment with offices in New York, Amsterdam, and Munich</p></li><li><p>
&euro;60/month phone &amp; internet allowance</p></li><li><p>
Location-specific benefits</p></li><li><p>
Collaborative, fast-moving team culture with a builder mindset</p></li><li><p>
Clear path for career growth and development</p></li><li><p>

Head of AI Engineering

Booking.com

<div>Role Description:
<div>
The Director of Architecture exists to make it easier for engineers to do the right thing. The central architecture team succeeds only if it reduces cognitive load for Business Units and makes engineers&rsquo; lives easier in practice. The role leads Booking.com&rsquo;s enterprise architecture and owns the architectural standards and Tech Guiding Principles that guide it, ensuring they create sensible defaults, reduce cognitive load, and align with the company&rsquo;s strategic and technology direction. The Tech Guiding Principles are shaped as a company-wide effort, bringing together architects, principal engineers and senior technical leaders from across Booking.com. The role is not to define the Tech Guiding Principles in isolation, but to bring together the strongest ideas emerging across the Business Units and turn them into a shared technical direction for Booking.com.</div><div></div><div><br>
The role leads a central team of Enterprise Architects and senior technical individual contributors, while working across Booking.com to align Business Units on shared architectural direction, sensible defaults and long-term technology choices. It combines direct leadership of a senior architecture team with influence in a federated organisation, and is accountable for turning central architecture capability into measurable impact across the company.</div><div></div><div><br>
The Director of Architecture plays a leading role in defining Booking.com&rsquo;s technology enablement model for how teams build, deliver, secure, and run software. Working with Business Units, Building &amp; Running, Core Platforms, Developer Experience, Security and other foundational teams, the role defines the defaults, shared foundations and operating model that reduce friction across the Software Development Lifecycle and Product Delivery Lifecycle.</div><div></div><div><br>
The role also helps define how AI changes the way teams design, build, test, release and operate software. This includes identifying where AI can accelerate delivery, improve quality and reduce repetitive work, while ensuring teams have the right feedback loops, safety measures and platform capabilities to adopt it well at scale.</div><div></div><div><br>
The Director of Architecture ensures enterprise direction is grounded in practical delivery needs and reflected in how teams build and run software, working through Business Unit architecture teams and senior engineering leaders. Success depends on understanding the pressures Business Unit leaders and engineering teams are under, and using that understanding to make central architecture feel like support rather than interference. The role does not replace solution architecture within the Business Units; it provides enterprise direction, cross-BU standards, interoperability principles and clear decision-making frameworks to reduce friction, avoid unnecessary coupling, and support engineering velocity. Where risk, regulation and compliance demand it, particularly in domains such as FinTech, the role helps ensure the right controls are built into the defaults, tooling and delivery workflows so teams can stay compliant without unnecessary manual gates.</div><div></div><div><br>
The role also helps Booking.com deal pragmatically with its existing technology estate. Success is not measured by perfect consistency or full compliance everywhere, but by using data and judgment to help teams fix the biggest risks, reduce the most harmful complexity and improve the parts of the estate that matter most.</div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
Key Responsibilities</h2><ul><li>
Lead and develop a central team of Enterprise Architects and senior technical ICs, setting clear expectations, building a strong senior team and creating the conditions for high impact.</li><li>
Act as a connected leader by developing senior talent, building trust across organisational boundaries, and creating alignment through empathy, service, and influence rather than authority.</li><li>
Define and evolve Booking.com&rsquo;s enterprise architecture, architectural standards and Tech Guiding Principles in line with strategic priorities and long-term technology direction.</li><li>
Lead the Tech Guiding Principles as a company-wide effort, bringing together architects, principal engineers and senior technical leaders to identify the strongest ideas emerging across the Business Units and turn them into shared technical direction and sensible defaults for Booking.com.</li><li>
Play a leading role in defining Booking.com&rsquo;s technology enablement model for how teams build, deliver, secure, and run software across the company.</li><li>
Define the defaults, shared foundations and operating model for software delivery at Booking.com, working with Business Units, Building &amp; Running, Core Platforms, Developer Experience, Security, and other foundational teams.</li><li>
Improve engineering velocity by reducing avoidable coupling, duplication and ambiguity, and by embedding sensible defaults into shared platforms, tooling, guardrails, and reusable patterns.</li><li>
Lead the definition of how Booking.com&rsquo;s SDLC and Product Delivery Lifecycle should evolve as AI changes the way software is designed, built, tested, released, and operated.</li><li>
Provide architectural direction on how AI is used across design, development, testing, release, operations and continuous improvement, with the goal of accelerating delivery, improving quality and making work easier for engineers.</li><li>
Align enterprise architecture with Business Unit solution architecture, ensuring local decisions support interoperability, reduce friction and maintain long-term technology coherence where it matters.</li><li>
