Little more about the team:

The Launch team is shaping Honeycomb’s Day 0 to Day 1 experience for our Enterprise customers. This critical path is where new users discover the value in their data and start building stronger observability habits. Our mission is to onboard and level up teams by helping them understand and observe their systems more effectively. We do this by creating intuitive and insightful entry points like Home, Boards, and Service Map. Our work shapes how teams learn the Honeycomb way, visualize their system behavior, and standardize team-wide observability practices that scale. We work closely with product, design, and platform teams to ensure these experiences are scalable and deeply aligned with our customers’ needs.

What you’ll do in the role:

• Own full-stack feature development across our React/TypeScript frontend and Go backend, delivering experiences that help Honeycomb users find value in their observability data.
• Own the performance of systems like Boards, Service Map, and Home by participating in our on-call rotation and triaging incidents and customer inquiries when necessary.
• Assist in shaping the technical direction and roadmap by contributing to architecture decisions, leading projects, and supporting features from discovery through delivery.
• Assist the team by pairing, reviewing code, and identifying opportunities to pay down tech debt while raising the bar for how we own and maintain our software in production.
• Teach best practices and design patterns by participating in our team’s leveling-up workshops to grow our team’s skillset in building and monitoring our software.
• Learn through cross-functional collaboration with product managers, designers, and other engineers to turn customer needs into product features.

What you’ll bring to the role:

• A strong foundation in software engineering with experience working full-stack. You may be more comfortable in React/TypeScript or Go, but you are eager to work across the stack and deepen your skills where needed.
• Experience delivering reliable, maintainable features in production environments.
• Familiar with observability principles and tooling. You have worked with systems in production, used telemetry to debug issues, and understand how to own the software you build.
• Experience participating in on-call rotations and able to handle production incidents when they occur. You view these as opportunities to learn.
• A collaborative mindset. You enjoy pairing, giving thoughtful code reviews, and supporting the team in making technical decisions.
• A strength in communicating with our cross-functional partners, like product managers and designers. You can adapt your message to the audience.
• You are curious and continuously seek to improve yourself, the product, and the team. We love to iterate on our processes and the product we are building. Feedback is fuel for growth.
