About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the developer feedback loops — the CI/CD, testing, dependency management, and tooling that let the whole org ship faster and more safely.
Lead AI-partnered development — incubate what the next chapter of AI-assisted engineering looks like at Honeycomb, for both human engineers and agents, and how observability plays into it.
Prove the ROI — define and track the developer-productivity and satisfaction metrics that give leadership confidence in the team's impact.
Lead change across the org — bring engineers inside and outside your team along, helping them welcome change rather than resist it.
Grow the team — support engineers and your manager community First Team through 1:1s, career development, and feedback loops.

Requirements

What you’ll need

Sustained, multi-year experience leading an engineering enablement / developer-experience team — enough tenure in prior roles to have steered large-scale change over time.
Fluency in CI/CD.
A track record of defining and tracking developer-productivity / ROI metrics — you can stand up the metrics program, not just consume it.
Cross-org change leadership — ideally having led an organization through a major workflow change or AI rollout.
Real depth with AI tooling.
The ability to distinguish good from bad AI usage, and to articulate your own AI philosophy.
Familiarity with observability / OpenTelemetry (Honeycomb's domain).
Experience running internal platform or tooling as a "product," with internal engineers as your customers.
