You'll join the LLM Observability team, a small cross-functional group building observability capabilities for AI agents and systems. The team owns both the data foundation and product experiences, working closely with a dedicated product manager and designer to ship features customers use in production.
In this role, you will:

- Contribute to the data model and infrastructure that enables observing agents and their ecosystems across the Honeycomb product
- Build systems that analyze and surface AI-specific signals such as cost, token usage, errors, and anomalies
- Collaborate with product and design partners to ensure solutions are usable, intuitive, and unlock meaningful user workflows
- Share learnings about exploring and understanding AI system behavior across conversations and workloads
- Iterate through fast feedback loops and experimentation, sharing both wins and failures
- Join the on-call rotation after approximately 90 days
Honeycomb offers a distributed-first culture with unlimited PTO, generous equity, home office and internet stipends, full benefits coverage, up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave, and an annual development allowance.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 3+ years of software engineering experience
- Experience shipping customer-facing features at a SaaS company (beyond internal tooling)
- Full-stack proficiency: backend development in Go and/or Python; frontend development in TypeScript and React
- Track record of working effectively with product managers and designers
- Regular, hands-on use of AI tools in day-to-day engineering work
- Experience being on call
- Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity in a fast-moving field where requirements shift and experimentation is core to the job
- Bonus: Experience building LLM or agent-powered features in production
- Bonus: Hands-on experience with observability tooling such as OpenTelemetry
Note: The company cannot currently sponsor or support visa transfers.
