About PostHog

We equip every developer 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, customer analytics, ai task creation and coding based on customer data, logs and support analytics.

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'll be doing

As a Product Engineer on the Web Analytics team, you’ll build and own products that turn raw data into real decisions, not only dashboards. This means talking to users who live in analytics, understanding what actually moves the needle, and shipping features that answer questions, not just track metrics.

You’ll be in the rare position to test MVPs in production with real users, iterate on their feedback, and own the pricing, because if you don’t believe in it, why should anyone else? And yes, you’ll jump into support as a Support Hero, because the best features come from real pain points.

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.

In short: You’ll build the tools that make data useful. Now, let’s talk about what you’ll bring to the table.

You’ll fit right in if:
  • You’re a 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.

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!

What We Do

At PostHog, we're working to increase the number of successful products in the world.

Until now, tools for building products have been fragmented. Product analytics, heatmaps, session recording, web analytics, feature flags, and A/B testing are all helpful, but no one wants to buy, send data to, and integrate multiple products.

PostHog offers these tools (and more) in an integrated, open source platform which can be hosted in either the US or EU. Both versions are SOC2 certified, GDPR-ready, and HIPAA compliant.

We started PostHog during Y Combinator's W20 cohort and had the most successful B2B software launch on Hacker News since 2012 - with a product that was just 4 weeks old.

With over 100,000 users, we're default alive, growing 97% through word of mouth, and we are in the top 0.01% most popular repos on GitHub.
