At the same time we imbue a lot of trust, autonomy, and accountability from Day 1. #LI-Remote About the role AI agents at Honeycomb investigate, reason, and act on real observability data. They live in Canvas: the agentic workspace where engineers go to understand their systems. The Agentic Intelligence team has shipped Canvas, the Honeycomb MCP server, and the Canvas Agent and Canvas Skills surfaces. What we're looking for today is someone who brings deep agent expertise and uses it to expand what the team can build: new agents, new surface area in Canvas, memory, spatial awareness, improved performance on our Bedrock loop. Honeycomb's data store is fast and accepts high cardinality data; that's what makes agents built on top of it different from anything built on a conventional observability backend. This role is about taking advantage of that building agents that can do things no other observability product can do because the underlying data makes it possible. Some of this work will start as a prototype. The expectation is that the code makes it through the full arc, from the rough first version through to something that holds up in production. What you'll do Design and deliver production-grade agents. Build agents that investigate, reason, and act on live observability data inside Canvas. These agents must be trustworthy to engineers in high pressure situations, including mid-incident. Take one from rough first version to something that holds up under production traffic. Own the agent work; support the whole product. Scope, build, ship, and maintain the agents including the evals that tell you whether they got better or are just different. This role is agent-focused and also includes some fullstack development. Build agents only Honeycomb can build. Use a data store that returns high-cardinality queries in seconds to reason over signal a conventional backend can't serve at this fidelity correlating across services, drilling into a single trace, comparing before and after a deploy. Extend the surface, and decide what's next. Ship new capability into Canvas, the MCP server, and Canvas Skills memory, spatial awareness, a faster Bedrock loop and make the case for what comes after with working code. Distinguish hype from signal in a field with plenty of both. Define what "good" means for agents here. Set the bar: measurable against real evals, maintainable, and honest about their limits. Example projects Multiple agents collaborating on one shared Canvas investigation each claiming a hypothesis, publishing findings, and narrowing the search space for the others so it resolves faster (blog). Auto-investigation the moment an SLO burn alert fires the agent forms hypotheses and prepares visualizations before a human looks, cutting mean-time-to-insight for on-call (o11ycon 2026). Skills that encode a team's domain expertise e.g. Kubernetes thresholds so agents and human colleagues can lean on them (o11ycon 2026). What you'll bring: AI and agent engineering experience. You've shipped LLM-based systems people relied on in production not demos, not fine-tuned models in a research context. You know where agent systems break and how to design around it. End-to-end ownership. On a small team there's no handoff queue. You can take something from rough prototype to production-grade without needing someone behind you to do the durable engineering. Current judgment, not just past experience. You have informed opinions about what's shifted in agent design in the last six to twelve months that would change how you'd build today. Agent architecture depth. You understand how a fast, high-cardinality data store changes what an agent can reason about, and how to design for that. Product judgment. You can look at what the agent layer does today and see what it should do next and make that case with a prototype, not a deck. Even better Observability or developer-tools background. Engineers are your users; you'll ramp faster with fluency in that world, and the work is better. Familiarity with eval frameworks, agent tooling, RAG, and prompt engineering.

How We Work We are a fully distributed 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. #LI-Remote A little more about the team: As a Senior Software Engineer II on the Scale team, you'll be joining a team that owns the horizontal product infrastructure our customers depend on as they scale. Features like authorization and access control, billing, usage reporting, and tags fall within our team scope. We're currently shaping the direction of our billing and pricing infrastructure and maturing our access control capabilities, with greenfield work ahead on customer-facing usage APIs, a major pricing and packaging overhaul, and new enterprise authorization features. What you’ll do in the role: Design, build, and deliver backend systems and APIs. You’ll architect and implement backend services and APIs in Go, emphasizing clarity, maintainability, and backward compatibility. You’ll think proactively about cost, scale, and risk — anticipating technical issues and exploring alternatives and tradeoffs thoroughly. Build and maintain full-stack product features. You’ll contribute frontend (React/TypeScript) and backend (Go) code to build robust product features, maintaining proficiency across the stack. You’ll deliver impactful features that add value for our customers, our team, and Honeycomb overall. Collaborate across disciplines. You’ll work closely within a product triad model alongside design and product partners, from discovery through delivery, iterating quickly based on user feedback. Support and own your software in production. You’ll participate in on-call rotations to ensure reliable operations and proactively address user pain points. Provide technical leadership. You'll define patterns and operational guidelines that raise the bar for the team and beyond. You'll plan, lead, and deliver complex, multi-team projects, ensuring alignment and mentoring teammates along the way. We rotate tech lead responsibilities with each feature to allow everyone on the team to use and grow these skills. Communicate clearly and support team resilience. Regular written and verbal communication, collaboration, and feedback are foundational skills you'll use daily, supporting a healthy, effective team dynamic. What you’ll bring to the role: Deep experience designing, building, and maintaining backend systems. You have substantial expertise building backend services and APIs in Go (or similar languages), with strong opinions about system design, error handling, and developer experience. You’ve seen many different patterns and have developed your own frameworks for evaluating how to approach new technical challenges. Frontend proficiency with React and TypeScript. You have professional experience delivering frontend features and contributing to full-stack software through all stages of the development lifecycle, though your primary expertise is in backend systems. Ownership and autonomy. You proactively identify problems, propose solutions, and own your projects end-to-end from initial planning to deployment and ongoing maintenance. You tackle tech debt proactively and can debug the toughest issues through the stack. A track record of making others better. You've mentored engineers, led technical design reviews, and helped raise the quality bar for a team or domain. People come to you for guidance, and you help build leaders around you. Experience supporting production services. You've shipped features to production, have experience investigating and resolving production incidents, and ideally have participated in on-call rotations (see how we track on-call health). A collaborative and flexible mindset. You're comfortable working cross-functionally, pivoting priorities to address evolving customer or business needs, and maintaining strong teamwork. Clear, open communication. We see clear, thoughtful, and regular communication, including a willingness to give and receive feedback, as a fundamental engineering skill and one of the strongest predictors of impact. We hope you do too. Experience with AI-assisted development. You're proficient with AI coding tools (Copilot, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) or are excited to incorporate them into your workflow. We're actively exploring how AI can accelerate our development practices. Auth experience. You’ve implemented authentication and/or authorization (RBAC, OAuth, SSO, SAML) solutions for SaaS products in previous roles. Bonus Points (Nice-to-Haves): Billing and pricing experience.
