Staff / Principal

Honeycomb is a service for the near and present future, defining observability and raising expectations of what developer tools can do. We work with well-known companies like HelloFresh, Slack, LaunchDarkly, and Vanguard. 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.

You'll be the product manager for our Canvas and Agentic AI teams - the teams building Honeycomb's AI-powered investigation experience. Canvas lets engineers use natural language to query, visualize, and understand their production systems. We're building Skills (pre-configured workflows that encode domain expertise into repeatable, executable actions), Auto-Investigations (agent-driven investigations that kick off before a human gets paged), and a rearchitected Canvas that's both interactive and collaborative. You'll work in a tight triad with engineering and design leads, owning the roadmap for how AI shows up in Honeycomb, from the product UI to our MCP server.

• Define AI product strategy in service of Honeycomb's vision
• Synthesize AI trends, customer needs, and technical capabilities into clear strategic recommendations
• Identify emerging observability challenges created by AI adoption (e.g., LLM drift, prompt regression, low-context generated code)
• Conduct research that bridges technology and customer reality
• Enable AI innovation across the product portfolio
• Evangelize the AI-observability connection

• 5+ years in product management with at least 1+ year shipping AI/ML-powered products
• Deep understanding of how engineering teams actually build, deploy, and operate AI systems
• Familiarity with current AI/ML techniques (RAG, fine-tuning, agentic systems)
• Strategic thinking with customer empathy
• Technical credibility without needing to be the expert
• Understanding of observability principles and why they matter in production systems
• Excellent written and verbal communication

Base Salary: $198,500—$233,500 USD. Benefits include generous equity, unlimited PTO, home office/co-working/internet stipend, full benefits coverage for employees, up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave, and annual development allowance.
