We're shipping every product that companies need from their first day, to the day they IPO, and beyond. The operating system for folks who build 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, so users can query product and customer data together using custom SQL insights.

• A customer data platform, so they can send their data wherever they need with ease.

• 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 CRM, messaging, revenue analytics, and support products. When we say every product, we really mean it!

We are:

1. Product-led. More than 100,000 companies have installed PostHog, mostly driven by word-of-mouth. We have intensely strong product-market fit.

2. Well-funded. We've raised more than $100m from some of the world's top investors. We're set up for a long, ambitious journey.

3. Default alive. Revenue is growing 10% MoM on average, and we're very efficient. We raise money to push ambition and grow faster, not to keep the lights on.

We're focused on building an awesome product for end users, hiring exceptional teammates, shipping fast, and being as weird as possible.

• Transparency: Everyone can read about our roadmap, how we pay (or even let go of) people, our strategy, and how we work, in our public company handbook. Internally, we share revenue, notes and slides from board meetings, and fundraising plans, so everyone has the context they need to make good decisions.

• Autonomy: We don’t tell anyone what to do. Everyone chooses what to work on next based on what's going to have the biggest impact on our customers, and what they find interesting and motivating to work on. Engineers lead product teams and make product decisions. Teams are flexible and easy to change when needed.

• Shipping fast: Why not now? We want to build a lot of products; we can't do that shipping at a normal pace. We've built the company around small teams – autonomous, highly-efficient groups of cracked engineers who can outship much larger companies because they own their products end-to-end.

• Time for building: Nothing gets shipped in a meeting. We're a natively remote company. We default to async communication – PRs > Issues > Slack. Tuesdays and Thursdays are meeting-free days, and we prioritize heads down building time over perfect coordination. This will be the most productive job you've ever had.

• Ambition: We want to solve big problems. We strongly believe aiming for the best possible upside, and sometimes missing, is better than never trying. We're optimistic about what's possible and our ability to get there.

• Being weird: Weird means redesigning an already world-class website for the 5th time. It means shipping literally every product that relates to customer data. It means building an objectively unnecessary developer toy with dubious shareholder value. Doing weird stuff is a competitive advantage. And it's fun.

• Owning launches from zero to done. You'll shape the story from roadmap to beta to launch and beyond for the teams you support. That means crafting GTM plans, writing announcements, managing positioning, and supporting adoption long after launch day. You'll help new ideas succeed in markets with billion-dollar incumbents.

• Being the voice of PostHog for engineers You'll work closely with product engineers to make sure our products land well. The more comfortable you are decoding jargon and communicating with developers, the better. The less you rely on ChatGPT to summarize information and the more you can bring in a human touch, the better.

• Running GTM for half the roadmap. You’ll own the GTM strategy and execution for several major product areas (e.g. CDP or Feature Flags) and take the lead on driving their success, from value prop to co-marketing. Expect to collab with other major devtools, drive beta adoption, and plan multiple major launches per quarter.

• Getting scrappy with side quests. You're not afraid to get weird with marketing. Some days you’ll be figuring out how to promote us in the AWS Marketplace. Other days you'll launch niche hardware devices. You’ll test out billboard headlines, spin up internal tools, or design memes with the design team. Marketing at PostHog is weird — in a good way.

• Shipping. A lot. This is not a job where you write a strategy deck and wait. You’ll be shipping work every week — and learning fast from it. You'll be working across our Y Combinator and Startup programs, our latest betas and events, our most visible launches, our biggest customer comms, and more. And that's just on Monday.

❌ Writing whitepapers, mission statements, or brand guidelines that nobody asked for.

❌ Focusing on strategy alone. You'll need to make the plan, then do the plan.

❌ Spending multiple quarters planning big projects that don't have an immediate impact.

❌ Running yawn-worthy webinars and bombarding users with invitations to attend.

❌ Chasing vanity metrics or asking people to swap their email for your exec summary.

• Experience working with engineers and supporting complicated, technical products

• Experience running GTM campaigns, ideally from start to finish

• Excellent writing, researching, and communication skills

• No fear about pitching strange, exciting ideas

• Basic familiarity with HTML and GitHub
