Senior Engineering Manager - Signals Team

Honeycomb is a service for the near and present future, defining observability and raising expectations of what developer tools can do! We're working with well known companies like HelloFresh, Slack, LaunchDarkly, and Vanguard and more across a range of industries. This is an exciting time in our trajectory, we've closed Series D funding, scaled past the 200-person mark, and were named to Forbes' America's Best Startups of 2022 and 2023!

We come for the impact, and stay for the culture! We're a talented, opinionated, passionate, fiercely inclusive, and responsible group of bees. We have conviction and we strive to live our values every day. We want our people to do what they truly love amongst a team of highly talented (but humble) peers.

A little more about the team :

Rising data volumes are rapidly outpacing our human ability to find signal in the noise. As the manager of the Signals team, you'll lead the engineering team solving this : proactively surfacing issues and early warning signs, helping customers understand what's happening in their systems, and guiding them where to focus in complex environments. This work includes continued investments in our SLO, trigger, and alerting features as well as our highly anticipated anomaly detection capabilities. On the team, you'll manage engineers at various levels and collaborate closely with a product manager and a designer.

• Build nurturing environments where healthy conflict is encouraged and where individuals that comprise a team can make each other better.
• Rely on your systems thinking to collaboratively build short- and long-term plans rooted in data and business context, framing projects and prioritization around impact to the business and value for the users.
• Communicate your own team's roadmap and strategy across the organization as well as understand how it intersects with your team's partners.
• Lead with a sense of urgency and uphold high standards and expectations for your team by modeling them yourself.

Lead by example and proactively foster psychological safety in your team and the wider organization, practicing what you preach when giving and receiving honest, direct, and constructive feedback regularly.
