About PostHog
PostHog is an open-source product analytics platform. We provide product-led teams with everything they need to understand user behavior, including funnels, session recording, user paths, multivariate testing, feature flags, heat maps, and more. PostHog can be deployed to the cloud, or self-hosted on existing infrastructure, removing the need to send data externally.
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 10,000 companies have installed the platform, we've had huge success with our paid upgrades, and we have 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!
We've been averaging >20% monthly revenue growth, we are default alive, and we didn't raised a huge / now-overpriced round in 2021. 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 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. Solve big problems - we haven't built our defining feature yet. We are all about shipping fast, talking to users, and iterating.
The role
There are a ton of ex-founders who love working at PostHog because they get to work autonomously and own a large set of problems. We're still super early stage and with each small team, it's a startup within itself which means defining a problem, talking to users, building a solution, and iterating on that.
As a former founder, you might come from a background in Engineering, Product, Design, or Marketing (or all of them)! We'll always have a place for smart, motivated people and we will work with you to define your own role at PostHog!
We are currently a team of around 35 - ranging from former founders and CTOs to college whiz kids, with experience scaling businesses to millions in revenue and thousands of employees.
If you are a former founder and you are looking for an opportunity to work with a world-class team, please get in touch!
