About this role
**Software Engineer I – LLM Observability** **What We’re Building** Honeycomb is a service for the near and present future—defining observability and raising expectations for what developer tools can do. We work with well-known companies like HelloFresh, Slack, LaunchDarkly, and Vanguard across a range of industries. **How We Work** We’re a fully distributed company. It’s not where you sit—it’s how you deliver. We invest in our people and support trust, autonomy, and accountability from Day 1. *#LI-Remote* **Team Overview** The team builds observability for AI in Honeycomb. You’ll help customers see what their agents are doing, what those agents cost, and where errors happen—plus insight into individual conversations to debug them.
