About the role
- Build deep empathy for engineers and technical users who need to visualize, ask, and answer questions of their telemetry data to investigate and solve problems in their day-to-day work, understanding their goals and unmet needs.
- Drive an iterative design process through research, ideation, and rapid prototyping (including AI-driven prototypes), creating feedback loops with product and engineering.
- Collaborate within your triad to explore, experiment, and ship features in quick cycles — surfacing opportunities, mitigating risks, supporting prioritization and moving from concept to production.
- Define workflows, interaction models, and paths to value that make Honeycomb's powerful data exploration capabilities more accessible and intuitive. Design experiences that showcase the unique power of Honeycomb to help engineers understand their systems better, faster, and with greater precision.
- Conduct user research through interviews, usability testing, and other methodologies to validate design decisions and inform product direction, working directly with customers throughout the design process.
- Share your learnings, prototypes, and design perspective widely — helping to establish Honeycomb's design voice in the observability space and contributing to the broader design culture.
Requirements
- Experience designing for developer tools, APIs, or technical workflows, with a strong grasp of how application systems work and developer pain points.
- Curiosity and empathy for engineers and technical users, paired with a knack for turning research insights into practical, user-centered design decisions.
- Fluency in iterative design methods — from discovery and research through wireframing, prototyping, and validation — and the judgment to know which approach fits the problem at hand. You can move fluidly between lightweight exploration and polished detail, choosing the right level of fidelity to drive clarity and decision-making.
- Understanding of how underlying data structures influence user experience design, particularly in complex technical environments.
- A collaborative mindset: you thrive in triads and across disciplines, inviting feedback, busting silos, and helping shape product direction alongside PM, EM, and peers.
- Ownership and autonomy: you bring a clear design point of view, identify opportunities proactively, and balance bold vision with pragmatic execution.
- Communication skills that make complex design ideas accessible and inspiring to diverse audiences.
- A bias toward learning and iteration: you treat every project as an experiment, adapt based on evidence, and consistently move work forward.
- Nice-to-have: Prior experience with observability, monitoring, APM, or DevOps tools.
