About Dash0

Imagine a world where observability is... well, easy. That’s what we’re building at Dash0. We’re not just another observability company, we’re a team of passionate experts who are obsessed with making observability accessible and delightful for every developer.

We are OpenTelemetry-native, ensuring seamless interoperability within modern observability ecosystems, and our “welcome present” to the OpenTelemetry community, OTelBin, a free editing, visualization, and validation tool for OpenTelemetry collector configurations, has been extremely well received.

Our mission is to make Dash0 the best observability experience in the world, and we’re seeking driven talent to shape that journey and grow alongside us.
