Role
Who you are
- Excellent communication skills – You can clearly articulate complex ideas, whether it’s aligning stakeholders on strategy, documenting product decisions, or providing crisp updates to leadership
- Deeply curious, no matter the subject – You ask great questions and dig deep to truly understand problems—whether technical, business, or user-related
- You excel at collaboration – You work in deep partnership with engineering, design, and go-to-market teams—not just handing off specs, but truly co-creating solutions
- Data-driven decision-making – You value qualitative and quantitative insights to understand your users and prioritize effectively
- Think strategically and tactically, and then make it happen – You balance big-picture strategy with tactical execution, breaking down complex problems into actionable plans that drive meaningful customer and business impact
- Don’t shy away from technical conversations - You bring the voice of the customer to engineering, ask the right questions, build credibility with engineers, and ensure that technical decisions align with product and business goals
- Strong user empathy – You deeply understand and advocate for your customers by understanding their challenges and motivations
- Thrive in ambiguity – You enjoy solving puzzles, tackling unknowns, and shaping direction from first principles
What the job involves
- Honeycomb's Frontend Observability team owns customer workflows that help users monitor, debug, and optimize their customer-facing applications
- This brings together a user's frontend, mobile, and backend data, enabling them to understand how their systems behave, where things go wrong, and how to fix them fast
- Own the strategy, roadmap, and execution for Honeycomb’s Frontend Observability product, helping developers monitor, debug, and optimize user-facing applications
- Drive product discovery in close partnership with a UX designer, engineering manager, and tech lead—identifying high-impact problems and iterating on solutions
- Deeply understand developer needs around frontend performance, and translate those into intuitive, powerful observability experiences in the Honeycomb UI
- Work cross-functionally with engineering, design, and go-to-market teams to ensure customer feedback, business context, and technical constraints shape the product
- Engage directly with users through interviews, research, and usability testing to inform prioritization and guide product decisions
- Advocate for the developer experience, ensuring that performance data is actionable, discoverable, and deeply useful to frontend teams
Our take
Traditional processes of debugging apps and IT services are becoming obsolete due to the mass adoption of cloud-based tools. However, whilst cloud-based development presents a modern and unified solution to application building, frameworks for troubleshooting such services are not currently something many businesses are prepared for.
Honeycomb provides troubleshooting tools that allow cloud-based software developers to observe code on API tools, live applications, and microservices. The troubleshooting dashboard is designed to be highly visual and user-friendly, thus allowing developers to diagnose cloud-based problems without having a deep understanding of computer science.
The company is building on its 2022 momentum after achieving another consecutive year of 2x revenue growth, driving 160% net revenue retention for its 600+ customers around the globe. Series D awarded in 2023 will be channelled into geographical expansion and supporting its products. Honeycomb’s approach is unique as it is facilitating the harmonious deployment of cloud-based debugging tools in a landscape where such services are essential yet difficult to understand.
