Honeyhive
About HoneyHive
At HoneyHive, we are building the new observability stack for AI agents. Our platform is used by leading AI startups and Fortune 500 enterprises to build, deploy, and observe AI agents. AI engineers use our platform debug complex agents, evaluate output quality, monitor agent failures in production, and a whole lot more.
We’ve raised $7.4M Seed from Insight Partners and are on track to scale further. Our founding team includes AI, infra, and product experts who’ve shipped large‑scale systems at Microsoft OpenAI, Amazon, Amplitude, New Relic, and more.
About the role As a Member of Technical Staff focused on SDKs at HoneyHive, you'll own the critical infrastructure that AI engineers at leading companies use to instrument, trace, and evaluate their AI applications. You'll be the technical expert responsible for our end-to-end tracing and evaluation SDKs built on OpenTelemetry (OTEL).
We're a small team, which means you'll have tremendous impact and ownership. You'll work directly with our founders and customers, and have the freedom to explore your own ideas while building developer tools that thousands of AI engineers depend on.
In this role, you will
Own our SDK ecosystem
– Design, build, and maintain our Python and TypeScript SDKs for end-to-end tracing and evaluations, focusing on performance, reliability, and exceptional developer experience
Drive OTEL integration
– Lead the technical implementation of OpenTelemetry instrumentation across our SDK stack, ensuring seamless observability for AI applications
Build integrations
– Ship new integrations with leading agent orchestration frameworks (LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, etc.), vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma), and model providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
Shape technical architecture
– Make key architectural decisions for SDK design, data collection patterns, and telemetry infrastructure as we scale
Work directly with customers
– Collaborate with AI engineers at high‑growth companies to understand their instrumentation needs and translate them into robust SDK features
Establish best practices
– Define SDK development standards, testing frameworks, and documentation practices that will scale with our growing developer community
Represent HoneyHive externally
– Engage with the broader developer community at conferences, hackathons, and through technical content
Our stack We use React, Express, and NextJS for web development, AWS for all our cloud needs, and are building SDKs in Typescript and Python using OpenTelemetry (OTEL).
About you We think you'd be a great fit if you have:
5+ years of backend/systems engineering experience
with a proven track record of shipping production systems at scale
Deep SDK/library development expertise
– Experience building developer tools, SDKs, or libraries that external teams depend on
Strong proficiency in Python and TypeScript/Node.js
for building robust, well‑tested SDKs
Observability systems experience
– Hands‑on experience with OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, metrics collection, or APM systems
Systems thinking
– You understand how to build scalable, maintainable developer tools and can make thoughtful technical tradeoffs
API design expertise
– Experience designing clean, intuitive APIs that developers love to use
What sets great candidates apart:
Previous experience building developer infrastructure
– SDKs, monitoring tools, observability platforms, or developer‑facing APIs
AI/ML engineering background
– Familiarity with LLM applications, prompt engineering, RAG, evaluations, or AI observability
Open source contributions
– Experience maintaining or contributing to popular open source libraries or tools
Early‑stage startup experience
– You've built products from 0 to 1 in fast‑paced environments
Why join
We have product market fit and are scaling fast!
You'll build critical infrastructure that engineers at cutting‑edge companies rely on daily.
You'll learn the ins and outs of startup building – perfect if you want to build your own company someday.
We have a flat org structure. Everyone on the team ships!
Benefits
Competitive salary + meaningful equity
Health, vision, and dental benefits
Unlimited PTO
Assistance in relocating to NYC or SF
MacBook Pro + peripherals
Annual AI Stipend
