Job description

What We’re Building
Honeycomb defined the concept of observability and is raising expectations of what our developer tools can do! Honeycomb is the observability platform that enables engineering teams to find and solve problems they couldn't before. It enables engineers to answer novel questions about their ever-evolving cloud applications so they can deploy confidently, resolve incidents faster, and focus on high-value work that drives innovation. We’re working with well-known companies like HelloFresh, Slack, LaunchDarkly, Vanguard, and more across various industries. This is an exciting time in our trajectory; we’ve closed Series D funding, scaled past the 175- person mark, and were named to Forbes’ America’s Best Startups of 2022 and 2023!! Honeycomb was also named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for APM and Observability.

How We Work
We are a remote-first company, which means we believe it is not where you sit but how you deliver that matters most. We invest in our people and care about how you orient to our culture and processes. At the same time, we imbue a lot of trust, autonomy, and accountability from Day 1.
