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 http://www.paulgraham.com/aord.html, averaging 10% monthly revenue growth and with more than $20m ARR.

WHAT WE VALUE - We are open source https://posthog.com/handbook/company/values#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 https://posthog.com/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 https://posthog.com/handbook/company/values#we-havent-built-our-defining-feature-yet. We are all about acting fast, innovating, and iterating https://posthog.com/handbook/company/culture#iteration. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING You'll be working full stack at the intersection of people and data. Our mission on the Product Analytics team is to expose powerful tools to help engineers, PMs, and everyone else understand how customers are using their products. At the core of our product offering is our event tracking system, which allows customers to instrument both their front-ends and back-ends to track any metrics they can imagine. Our product also integrates with our data warehouse, which allows customers to sync data into PostHog from their own databases and third-party sources, unlocking PostHog as the ultimate BI tool. We've built a suite of insights that allow customers to visualize their data in incredibly useful ways without writing any SQL. We've also built and maintain our own SQL dialect (known internally and affectionately as HogQL), and are constantly expanding it to make complex queries as easy as possible for our end users. On the Product Analytics team, you'll get to be adjacent to our high-scale ingestion pipeline and ClickHouse teams, working together to make whatever user experience you can dream of a reality. As we grow and continue to ingest more data, we'll face and solve increasing scale challenges, and will continue to leverage AI to make it as easy as possible for our customers to discover insights in their data. Our goal is to position ourselves as an indispensable tool in our customers' stacks, not only providing insights, but being a piece of the infrastructure that powers their applications You'll write and master Python, TypeScript, (ClickHouse|Postgres|Hog)SQL, Rust, and a little bit of C++.
