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 warehouseโฆ and thereโs 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.
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 donโt 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.
Who weโre looking for
Youโll have the opportunity to work on huge data challenges (we peak at 1m events/minute and process billions of events) while leading a team of seasoned and smart engineers. You will have incredibly high autonomy and work closely with our customers, who are also engineers. More specifically:
What youโll be doing
- You'll work closely with the team to plan long-term goals on how to scale the ingestion and export pipeline.
- We've had such a large increase in event scale, we need to re-design how we do ingestion to future proof for the next couple of years, when we'll repeat this (else we'd be over-engineering by definition).
- Maintain a high bar for the teamโs quality of work and performance (i.e. incident reviews, stand-ups, etc.)
- Ship a bunch of code!
Requirements
- Infrastructure or data experience
- High ownership, ability to drive big complex products to completion
- Proven ability to lead big projects to completion
- Real interest in building stuff (we'll need innovation over and over again here!)
Nice to have
-
Comfortable running incidents
We believe people from diverse backgrounds, with different identities and experiences, make our product and our company better. Thatโs why we dedicated a page in our handbook to diversity and inclusion. No matter your background, we'd love to hear from you! Alignment with our values is just as important as experience! ๐
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!
