Job Description
About PostHog
We’re shipping every product that developers need to build successful products.
We started with open-source product analytics, launched out of Y Combinator’s W20 cohort .
We’ve since shipped more than a dozen products, including a built-in data warehouse, a customer data platform, and Max AI, an AI-powered analyst that answers product questions, helps users find useful session recordings, and writes custom SQL queries.
Next on the roadmap are messaging, revenue analytics, and support products.
Our values are not a poster on the wall full of aspiration. They’ve come from how we really work, day in day out.
PostHog is Open Source, product led, and a default alive company that is well funded.
What you will be doing
As a Product Engineer you will build and own products & features from beginning to end. This means talking to users, understanding our strategy and goals, and figuring out what you (and the team) should be building next. You will be in the unique position to test MVP’s in production with real users, iterate on their feedback, own the pricing, and ensure the ongoing success of your work. And yes, you will support our customers as a Support Hero to ensure a great experience.
Product engineers at PostHog are truly full stack. You’ll design and ship the frontend (we have no design by default), write HogQL queries, and, depending on the team, write high scale/high availability services in rust and spin up infra.
You now know what you’ll be doing, but what about what you’ll need to bring along?
You’ll fit right in if:
You’re a genuine builder. PostHog is full of people who just love building stuff, people who would still be building software even if there wasn’t a paycheck at the end. We’re talking about taking projects from 0 to 1, e.g. You’re a former founder, lead, or maybe you’ve built an impressive side project!
You bring full stack-experience with relevant technologies. This is our stack, but we hire lots of people whose main experience is with a different stack.
You think like a product engineer! You care more about building the best product for the users and helping your team ship than focussing on abstract goals. In short, we’d rather ship than sink, and part of that journey is documenting what you do.
You love getting things done. Product engineers at PostHog have an incredible amount of autonomy to decide what to work on, so you’ll need to be proactive and just git it done.
You’re ready to do the best work of your career. We have incredible distribution, a big financial cushion and an amazing team. There’s probably no better place to see how far you can go.
If this sounds like you, we should talk.
We are committed to ensuring a fair and accessible interview process. If you need any accommodations or adjustments, please let us know
What’s in it for you?
Now that we’ve told you what you’ll be building with us, let’s talk about what we’ll be building for you.
