Resident Architect- LATAM
About the role
What We’re Building
Honeycomb is a service for the near and present future, defining observability and raising expectations of what developer tools can do! We’re working with well known companies like HelloFresh, Slack, LaunchDarkly, and Vanguard and more across a range of industries. This is an exciting time in our trajectory, we’ve closed Series D funding, scaled past the 200-person mark, and were named to Forbes’ America’s Best Startups of 2022 and 2023!
Who We Are
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.
A little more about the team:
Honeycomb's Resident Architects are among our most senior technical field engineers, and a critical escalation point for our biggest and thorniest technical challenges faced by our customers. RAs are technical champions, coaches, and mentors who combine deep engineering expertise with strong emotional intelligence and customer focus. They demonstrate genuine customer empathy, maintain a strong customer service ethic, and excel at working directly with customers' engineering teams, from individual contributors to engineering leadership to drive successful, lasting outcomes.
