We’re equipping every developer to build successful products by giving them a suite of products to analyze, test, observe, and deploy new features. We currently offer product and web analytics, session replay, feature flags, experiments, a CDP, SQL access, a data warehouse, and LLM observability… and there’s plenty more to come.

PostHog was created as an open-source project during Y Combinator's W20 cohort. We had the most successful B2B software launch on HackerNews since 2012 with a product that was just 4 weeks old. Since then, more than 100,000 companies have installed the platform. We've had huge success with our paid upgrades, raised bags of money from some of the world's top investors, and have extremely strong product-led growth – 97% driven by word of mouth.

We're growing quickly, but sustainably. We're also default alive, averaging 10% monthly revenue growth and with more than $20m 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 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.

What we’re looking for

• You'll have full-stack experience with relevant technologies (Python or similar, React or similar, something to do with big data is a bonus)
• You have started a project from scratch. You might have led a project, been a founder previously, or built an impressive side project.
• You have strong communication skills. We document everything, most of it publicly.
• You move fast, have a strong bias for impact and you don’t shy away from stepping on toes.
• You've worked in a high-growth SaaS company
• Extensive experience with Django and/or TypeScript-based React

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!
