About HoneyHive
At HoneyHive, we are building the new DevOps stack for AI agents. Our product is used by leading AI startups and Fortune 100 enterprises to build, test, optimize, and ship reliable AI products with integrated observability, testing, and experimentation tools. AI engineers use our platform debug AI agents, evaluate quality, troubleshoot LLM failures in production, and a whole lot more.
We’ve raised $7.4M Seed from Insight Partners, Zero Prime Ventures, AIX Ventures, and leading founders/CEOs. Our founding team includes AI, data, and systems experts who’ve shipped petabyte-scale systems at Microsoft, Amazon, JP Morgan, and more.
About the role
