About PostHog

PostHog helps engineers build better products. We are a single platform to analyze, test, observe, and deploy new features. We give engineers product & web analytics, session replay, feature flags, experiments, a CDP, SQL access, and a data warehouse… and there’s plenty more to come.

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 70,000 companies have installed the platform. We've had huge success with our paid upgrades, raised $27m from some of the world's top investors, and have shown strong product-led growth - 97% driven by word of mouth.

We're growing quickly but sustainably - we're default alive, averaging 10% monthly revenue growth, with >$10m ARR. We're staying focused on building an awesome product for end users, hiring a handful of exceptional team members, and seeing fantastic growth as a result.

About our Marketing team:

• We have loads of awesome stuff to write content about.
• We value depth over volume - if you want to spend 2 weeks writing a really in-depth guide, go for it!
• You'll have tons of autonomy to decide what to write about, but also the support of our Marketing team and paid ads agency to give you insights.
• We have a super-engaged developer community which you'll be creating content for.

We're only just getting started - our Marketing team is just 5 people but has an outsized impact.

What you’ll be doing

• Creating top-of-funnel product-focused content marketing such as blog posts and tutorials that attract new developers to PostHog.
• Working with our marketing, product, and engineering teams to turn new features into innovative and timely content ideas. You'll manage content production from start to finish.
• Growing and maintaining our content schedule around user personas and segments.
• Analyzing how your content performs (using PostHog!) and deciding how to adjust our content strategy accordingly.

Here is some recent content the team has written:

• Product engineer vs product manager: What's the difference?
• HogMail #19: Which meetings should you kill?
• PostHog vs. Mixpanel
• How PostHog built an app server (from MVP to billions of events)

Requirements

• You've written engaging top-of-funnel content for developers.
• You'll need to have experience doing software development, but this doesn't need to have been in a formal role.
• You have excellent writing, research, and communication skills.
• You come up with interesting and timely content ideas - you're not just interested in cranking out the same stuff as everyone else.

Nice to have

• You have another string to your bow - maybe you've dabbled in video content creation or social media
