Senior Product Manager - Platform

About the role

We come for the impact, and stay for the culture! We're a talented, opinionated, passionate, fiercely inclusive, and responsible group of bees. We have conviction and we strive to live our values every day. We want our people to do what they truly love amongst a team of highly talented (but humble) peers. How We Work We are a fully distributed company, which means we believe it is not where you sit, but how you deliver that matters most. We invest in our people and care about how you orient to our culture and processes. At the same time we imbue a lot of trust, autonomy, and accountability from Day 1. #LI-Remote

Responsibilities

• You'll own driving the work and outcomes across ingest, querying, data retrieval, storage and our internal design system while aligning that work in a way which facilitates and enables better product delivery to our customers.
• You'll understand a range of stakeholder needs from our customers to our internal teams and you'll prioritize scalable, reliable and maintainable capabilities in service of the long term company and product strategic visions.
• You'll collaborate closely with engineering in platform and with engineering, product and design in our cross-functional teams.
• You'll understand the whole developer experience space at Honeycomb and how best to support it with platform fundamentals.
• You'll build relationships and facilitate impactful technical conversations across the company, including partnering with Marketing, Sales, and Customer Success. Staying close to folks in the field is a high priority for this role.
• You'll naturally gravitate toward empathetically understanding users, what pains them and pleases them, and you'll be relentless in advocating for their best interests in the product.
• You'll be taking directional guidance from key stakeholders and using it as the basis for chartering your own product discovery adventures.
• You'll contribute to a community of practice with your fellow Product Managers, fostering a culture of cohesion and knowledge-sharing.
• Success is aligning the field and product engineering behind your vision, increasing measurable customer outcomes, and being recognized as an SME for the organization.
• About You:
• You're endlessly curious - a proactive problem solver. You seek data to inform your decision-making and allow that to inform how you prioritize work. You never stop asking questions and you seek answers from your customers, your colleagues and your own research.
• You are a systems thinker and understand and can illustrate the interconnectedness of capabilities as their cohesive whole, from backend services to design systems.
• You are equally at home setting a vision and identifying small pieces of value that can be delivered iteratively and quickly. You enjoy shepherding product work through its entire lifecycle, from early prototype to GA.
• You find ambiguity inspiring and are driven to navigate your way through it to a place of clarity. You value making space for learning before pushing toward a solution.
• You're comfortable and interested in technically complex spaces, whether it's a background being a developer yourself or a history working on technical SaaS products. A strong preference to have experience working in or as a user of tracing, metrics, monitoring, or analytics software.
• You're excited to build the next generation of tracing technology!
• Base Salary based on level of experience
• $146,500 - $172,500 USD
• What you'll get when you join the Hive:
• A stake in our success - generous equity with employee-friendly stock program
