This post is part of a short series about my experience in the VP of Engineering role at Honeycomb. In February of 2020, I was promoted from Director of Engineering to Honeycomb’s first VP of Engineering. Happily, all these things turned out to be true and are still true to this day.

This is a talk about what you do, as VP of Engineering, when somebody asks for the impossible. Wed be the engine of a profitable and growing business. Are we the best product engineering org in the world today? And, as a fully remote company, we have a lot of flexibility in where we hire. It cant be done.

I believe this human-centered approach is a big part of what’s helped us attract so many amazing new hires. We’ve doubled the size of the company this year, with growth on all fronts: engineering, product, design, marketing, sales. Marketing and DevRel. Marketing is another team that grew significantly in 2020.

Charity once said an off-hand sentence that became a mantra for my transition into the VP of Engineering role: “Directors run the company.” Being a good VP requires not getting lost in the weeds and risking losing sight of the bigger picture, even when it feels like there is a tantalizing opportunity for fast impact.
