Role Description

  • Define and evolve SDK architecture and API design with a focus on usability and long-term maintainability.
  • Partner with internal teams to ensure instrumentation is reliable, efficient, and easy to integrate.

  • Review code, mentor peers, and help foster a healthy open source culture at Honeycomb.

Qualifications

  • Strong software engineering experience (typically 5+ years), with at least a few years building mobile applications, SDKs, developer tools, or libraries used by other engineers.
  • Comfortable working in open source communities — reviewing pull requests, engaging with contributors, and maintaining high-quality public codebases.
  • Experience with observability tools (OpenTelemetry, tracing, metrics, logs).
  • Passionate about making developers’ lives better through thoughtful API design and clear documentation.
  • Comfortable balancing pragmatic delivery with long-term maintainability.

Requirements

  • Bonus points for using or building mobile SDKs or frameworks (Android, iOS, or cross-platform).
  • Experience with one or more of Flutter, Kotlin, Swift, or TypeScript.
  • Prior contributions to SDKs used by large developer communities.
  • Familiarity with backend observability pipelines or instrumentation standards.

Benefits

  • The opportunity to shape the SDK strategy for a category-defining observability company.
  • A collaborative, remote-first culture where engineers own their work end-to-end.
  • Support to engage in open source, speak at conferences, and contribute to community standards.
  • Base Salary based on level of experience: $160,000 — $180,000 USD.
  • A stake in our success - generous equity with employee-friendly stock program.
  • Time to recharge - Unlimited PTO and paid sabbatical.
  • A remote-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.
  • And much more...
