Content Engineer

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 looking for a Content Engineer to own our documentation platform and take our already strong docs to the next level. This is an engineering role with a content mindset — you'll build the systems, tooling, and workflows that make great documentation possible at scale, while also having the writing skills to ensure what we publish is clear, well-structured, and genuinely useful to our users.

You'll work closely with engineering teams to ensure every feature is thoroughly documented, and partner with the Senior Product Marketing Manager to shape how we present product capabilities to our customers. You'll also explore how AI can assist and automate parts of the documentation lifecycle — making it easier for engineers to contribute and keeping content current as the product evolves. This role is part of the Product Marketing & Developer Relations team.

What You'll Do

• Own the documentation platform — its architecture, tooling, infrastructure, and deployment workflows. Treat docs as a product, not a side project.

• Build and maintain integrations between documentation and engineering workflows, so docs stay in lockstep with product development and new features are captured as they ship.

• Design and implement AI-assisted documentation workflows that help engineers contribute to docs more easily and keep content accurate and up to date.

• Write and maintain product documentation — getting started guides, feature docs, API references, configuration guides, and tutorials.

• Partner with the Senior Product Marketing Manager to shape content that connects product capabilities to customer needs.

• Design information architecture that helps customers find what they need fast — navigation, search, content hierarchy, and discoverability.

• Establish documentation standards and style guides that scale as the product and team grow.

• Explore formats beyond written docs — interactive examples, embedded tooling, or video walkthroughs that help customers learn in the way that works best for them.

What You Bring

• 3+ years of experience in a technical role — software engineering, SRE, DevOps, platform engineering, or documentation engineering.

• Strong technical writing skills. You can take complex concepts and present them clearly, with the right structure and depth for the audience.

• Experience building or maintaining documentation platforms, static site generators, or docs-as-code tooling (e.g., Docusaurus, Hugo, Nextra, or similar).

• Docs-as-code mindset. You work in Git, write in Markdown, and treat documentation with the same rigor as production code.

• Understanding of information architecture and content design — you think about how readers navigate, search, and consume technical content.

• Comfortable reading and working with code. You can set up a local dev environment, run APIs, and verify that what you document actually works.

• Self-directed and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where you manage your own priorities.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on experience with observability, monitoring, or OpenTelemetry.

• Experience with Kubernetes, containers, and cloud-native tooling.

• Experience building AI-assisted content workflows or integrating LLMs into documentation pipelines.

• Contributions to open-source documentation or community projects.

• Experience in a high-growth, venture-backed startup environment.
