Summary

Honeycomb is seeking a remote-first VP of Engineering to replace longtime engineering leader Emily Nakashima as she moves into an operational role after helping grow the company from its first frontend hire to SVP Engineering. Reporting to the CEO and partnering closely with SVP Product Graham Siener, the executive-level leader will help set company strategy, guide Honeycomb’s AI-driven reinvention of observability, align the executive team, and lead an 85-person engineering organization within the roughly 300-person company. The role emphasizes decisive leadership, clear written and verbal storytelling, comfort with uncertainty and pre-product-market-fit risks, and recent hands-on experience shipping software with AI tools. Honeycomb prefers candidates who have led substantially larger engineering organizations, owned engineering broadly, worked on executive teams, managed distributed teams, and understand developer tools, but encourages strong applicants who do not meet every criterion to apply.
