About PostHog

PostHog is the open source Product OS - it's a suite of product and data tools, built on the modern data stack. We provide product analytics, session recording, feature flags, A/B testing, event pipelines and a data warehouse. PostHog can be deployed to the cloud, or self-hosted on existing infrastructure, removing the need to send user data to a 3rd party.

PostHog was created as an open source project during Y Combinator's W20 cohort and had the most successful B2B software launch on HackerNews since 2012 - with a product that was just 4 weeks old. Since then, more than 10,000 companies have installed the platform, we've had huge success with our paid upgrades, and we have raised $27m from some of the world's top investors, and have shown strong product-led growth - 97% driven by word of mouth.

Despite the 📉 tech market, we're default alive and doing better than ever!

We've been averaging >20% monthly revenue growth and we didn't raise a huge / now-overpriced round in 2021. While others are focused on layoffs and struggling to grow into huge valuations, we're focusing on an awesome product for end users, hiring (a handful of) exceptional team members, and seeing fantastic increases in revenue as a result.

The growth team is responsible for a really wide-range of responsibilities: you’ll be running experiments on the activation flow one day and figuring out a new pricing model for all of PostHog the next. It’s a chance to learn a lot and have a huge impact on a quickly growing company. The growth team has incredibly high autonomy in what they work on and how they get it done.

What We Value

  • We are open source - building a huge community around a free-for-life product is key to PostHog's strategy.
  • We aim to become the most transparent company, ever. In order to enable teams to make great decisions, we share as much information as we can. In our public handbook everyone can read about our roadmap, how we pay (or even let go of) people, what our strategy is, and who we have raised money from. We also have regular team-wide feedback sessions, where we share honest feedback with each other.
  • Working autonomously and maximizing impact - we don’t tell anyone what to do. Everyone chooses what to work on next based on what is going to have the biggest impact on our customers.
  • Solve big problems - we haven't built our defining feature yet. We are all about acting fast, innovating, and iterating.

Requirements

  • Experience as a full-stack engineer
  • An interest in or a willingness to learn about the revenue side of a SaaS company
  • Lots of ideas on how we can improve signup, activation, and revenue generation for PostHog

Nice to have

  • You've worked in a high-growth SaaS company and/or analytics product.

If this sounds like what you’d love to be doing, we can’t wait to hear from you. If you’re not sure that you exactly fit the above criteria, get in touch anyway. Alignment with our values is just as important as experience! 🙏

Benefits

What we offer in return:

  • 💰 Generous, transparent compensation and employee-friendly equity in PostHog
  • 🌴 Unlimited time off with a 25 day minimum (in 2021 the team on average took 32 days off)
  • 🏥 Private medical insurance, including dental and vision (US and UK only)
  • 👵 👴 Pension/401k contributions (4% matching)

We believe people from diverse backgrounds, with different identities and experiences, make our product and our company better. That’s why we dedicated a page in our handbook to diversity and inclusion. No matter your background, we'd love to hear from you!

Also, if you have a disability, please let us know if there's any way we can make the interview process better for you - we're happy to accommodate!
