Field Reliability Engineer

Honeycomb.io

• Own and operate customer-facing managed infrastructure including Refinery as a Service (RaaS) and Honeycomb Private Cloud (HnyPC) deployments across multiple AWS accounts and regions. • Build and maintain Terraform modules, Helm charts, and deployment automation for provisioning and managing customer EKS clusters, collector pools, and Refinery instances. • Design and implement monitoring, alerting, and observability for managed service infrastructure - using Honeycomb to monitor Honeycomb. • Manage scaling, upgrades, and incident response for customer deployments, including capacity planning and cost optimization across AWS infrastructure. • Building autonomous deployment and management tooling for field-operated managed services. • Serve as the senior technical escalation point for our most challenging customer situations - production incidents, complex collector configurations, Refinery tuning, and architecture reviews that exceed the scope of standard technical roles. • Diagnose and resolve deep infrastructure and observability issues spanning distributed systems, Kubernetes clusters, AWS networking (ALBs, PrivateLink, NLBs, VPCs), and polyglot service meshes. • Partner directly with customer SRE, platform, and engineering teams to troubleshoot real-time production issues, often under time pressure and with direct revenue impact. • Participate in an on-call rotation for managed services (Refinery as a Service, Honeycomb Private Cloud), providing Tier 2 escalation support for customer-facing infrastructure issues. • Build and maintain SOPs, runbooks, and diagnostic frameworks that accelerate resolution for the broader field and support teams. • Contribute to and maintain OpenTelemetry distributions, collectors, exporters, and instrumentation libraries that our customers depend on. • Represent Honeycomb in the OpenTelemetry community - participating in SIGs, reviewing PRs, triaging issues, and driving adoption of best practices. • Build reference architectures, sample collector configurations, and integration guides that demonstrate effective instrumentation patterns for common customer environments (Kubernetes, ECS, serverless).

Job Requirements

  • Serve as the senior technical escalation point for our most challenging customer situations - production incidents, complex collector configurations, Refinery tuning, and architecture reviews that exceed the scope of standard technical roles.
  • Diagnose and resolve deep infrastructure and observability issues spanning distributed systems, Kubernetes clusters, AWS networking (ALBs, PrivateLink, NLBs, VPCs), and polyglot service meshes.
  • Partner directly with customer SRE, platform, and engineering teams to troubleshoot real-time production issues, often under time pressure and with direct revenue impact.
  • Participate in an on-call rotation for managed services (Refinery as a Service, Honeycomb Private Cloud), providing Tier 2 escalation support for customer-facing infrastructure issues.
  • Build and maintain SOPs, runbooks, and diagnostic frameworks that accelerate resolution for the broader field and support teams.
  • Own and operate customer-facing managed infrastructure including Refinery as a Service (RaaS) and Honeycomb Private Cloud (HnyPC) deployments across multiple AWS accounts and regions.
  • Build and maintain Terraform modules, Helm charts, and deployment automation for provisioning and managing customer EKS clusters, collector pools, and Refinery instances.
  • Design and implement monitoring, alerting, and observability for managed service infrastructure - using Honeycomb to monitor Honeycomb.
  • Manage scaling, upgrades, and incident response for customer deployments, including capacity planning and cost optimization across AWS infrastructure.
  • Building autonomous deployment and management tooling for field-operated managed services.
  • Contribute to and maintain OpenTelemetry distributions, collectors, exporters, and instrumentation libraries that our customers depend on.
  • Represent Honeycomb in the OpenTelemetry community - participating in SIGs, reviewing PRs, triaging issues, and driving adoption of best practices.
  • Build reference architectures, sample collector configurations, and integration guides that demonstrate effective instrumentation patterns for common customer environments (Kubernetes, ECS, serverless).
  • Identify gaps in the open source ecosystem that create friction for customers and either contribute fixes upstream or build bridging solutions.
  • Contribute features and improvements to Honeycomb’s own open source projects (Refinery, Honeycomb Collector Distro) to support managed service capabilities.
  • Be the person Solutions Architects call when a deal goes deeper than demo and design - you join calls to troubleshoot live production environments, validate architecture decisions, and provide the infrastructure credibility that closes technical evaluations.
  • Tag-team with SAs on strategic accounts, owning the infrastructure and data pipeline conversations while they own the product narrative.
  • Lead architecture reviews, SLO workshops, and instrumentation deep-dives for customers evaluating or expanding Honeycomb - especially in complex environments (multi-cluster Kubernetes, hybrid cloud, high-cardinality workloads).
  • Step into customer-facing POCs and pilots as the hands-on technical lead, standing up collector pools, configuring Refinery pipelines, and proving out integrations in the customer’s actual environment.
  • Create feedback loops between the field and product/engineering, surfacing patterns from customer environments that inform roadmap priorities.

Benefits

  • A stake in our success - generous equity with employee-friendly stock program
  • It’s not about how strong of a negotiator you are - our pay is based on transparent levels relative to experience
  • Time to recharge with unlimited PTO
  • A distributed-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...
