[Remote] Senior Engineering Manager - Enablement

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Honeycomb is a service defining observability and raising expectations of developer tools. They are seeking a Senior Engineering Manager - Enablement to lead developer feedback loops, AI-assisted engineering development, and support team growth while ensuring productivity and satisfaction metrics are met.

Responsibilities

• 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

Skills

• 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
• You're still hands-on and enjoy contributing to and reviewing code (welcome, but it won't be your primary role here)
• You've built your own AI-driven projects and tools

Benefits

• A stake in our success - generous equity with employee-friendly stock program
• It’s not about how strong of a negotiator you are - our pay is based on transparent levels relative to experience
• Time to recharge with unlimited PTO
• A distributed-first mindset and culture (really!)
• Home office, co-working, and internet stipend
• Full benefits coverage for employees, with additional coverage available for dependents
• Up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave, regardless of path to parenthood
• Annual development allowance
