Full Stack Engineer

PostHog helps engineers build better products. We are a single platform to analyze, test, observe, and deploy new features. We give engineers product analytics, session recording, feature flags, A/B testing, event pipelines, SQL access and a data warehouse… and there’s 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 35,000 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. 

Despite the 📉 tech market, we're default alive and doing better than ever!

PostHog makes money from our cloud product, or people can self host the open source project. We average 10% monthly revenue growth and are aiming for $10m ARR in early 2024. While others are focused on layoffs and struggling to grow into huge valuations, we're focusing on an awesome product for end users, hiring a handful of exceptional team members and seeing fantastic increases in revenue as a result.

What you’ll be doing

The growth team is responsible for a really wide-range of responsibilities - it’s a chance to learn a lot and have a huge impact on a quickly growing company. The growth team has incredibly high autonomy in what they work on and how they get it done. Here are a few examples of recent things we've worked on:

• Running experiments

  • feat(signup): experiment with larger unbranded sso buttons posthog#13234

• Make changes to how we do pricing

  • feat: hook up pricing page to plans API posthog.com#5181

  • fix: improved billing page for yearly plans posthog#14652

• Make changes to the onboarding flow

  • feat: verify email addresses on signup posthog#13632

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.

• 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.

• Solving big problems - we haven't built our defining feature yet. We are all about shipping fast, talking to users, and iterating.

• Experience as a mid-to-senior level full stack engineer working on production applications OR experience as a technical founder. This is not a junior- or early-mid-level role.

• An interest in or a willingness to learn about the revenue side of a SaaS company

• Lots of ideas on how we can improve signup, activation, and revenue generation for PostHog

Nice to have

• You’ve worked in a high-growth SaaS company and/or analytics product.

If this sounds like what you’d love to be doing, we can’t wait to hear from you. If you’re not sure that you exactly fit the above criteria, get in touch anyway. Alignment with our values is just as important as experience! 🙏
