Senior Engineering Manager – Enablement

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in United States.

📋 Description

• Take ownership of the developer feedback processes — including CI/CD, testing, dependency management, and tools that enable the entire organization to deliver faster and more securely.

• Spearhead AI-integrated development — explore the future of AI-assisted engineering at Honeycomb, focusing on both human engineers and agents, and the role observability plays in that evolution.

• Demonstrate the return on investment — establish and monitor developer productivity and satisfaction metrics that provide leadership with assurance regarding the team's influence.

• Drive organizational change — guide engineers both within and outside your team to embrace change rather than resist it.

• Foster team growth — support engineers and your management community through one-on-one meetings, career development, and feedback mechanisms.

⛳️ Requirements

• Extensive, multi-year experience in leading an engineering enablement or developer experience team — sufficient tenure in previous roles to facilitate large-scale changes over time.

• Proficiency in CI/CD.

• A proven history of defining and tracking developer productivity and ROI metrics — capable of establishing the metrics program, not merely utilizing it.

• Leadership in cross-organizational change — preferably having guided an organization through a significant workflow transformation or AI implementation.

• Strong expertise with AI tools.

• The capability to differentiate between effective and ineffective AI usage, along with the ability to convey your own AI philosophy.

• Familiarity with observability and OpenTelemetry (Honeycomb's area of focus).

• Experience managing internal platforms or tools as a "product," treating internal engineers as your clients.

🏝️ Benefits

• A stake in our success - generous equity with an employee-friendly stock program.

• Compensation based on transparent levels relative to experience, rather than negotiation skills.

• Unlimited PTO to allow time for recharging.

• A culture that embraces a distributed-first mindset (and truly means it!).

• Stipend for home office setup, co-working spaces, and internet expenses.

• Comprehensive benefits coverage for employees, with additional options available for dependents.

• Up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave, regardless of the path to parenthood.

• Annual development allowance.

• And many more benefits...
