We’re working to increase the number of successful products in the world
Why we’re here
We’re a small (but growing) team building an open source platform that empowers customers to create successful products.
Until now, tools for building products have been fragmented. Product analytics, heatmaps, session recording and A/B testing all provide immense value, but existing tools weren’t natively built to work together.
PostHog is different by offering these tools (and more) in a single platform that you can host yourself.
We started PostHog as part of 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.
We're proudly backed by some of the world's top investors and believe in product-led growth, where we build something awesome and let our product bring the users, rather than an outbound sales team and regular cold calls.
What does this mean for you? We have a lot of capital, but we're a lean, strong team - so you've got the opportunity to have a huge impact.
Our culture
All Remote
We are fully-remote and hire anywhere in the world.
If you are on planet Earth, please consider applying. We are unfortunately not able to accept candidates from other planets or galaxies at this time.
Transparency
We build an open source product, and try to be as transparent as possible about our company.
Our roadmap, employee handbook, salary calculator, investor emails, and most communication are public on GitHub.
Written communication
Being fully-remote, it’s critical we practice clear communication so we stay connected and work efficiently.
Collaborating through public GitHub issues and pull requests helps us clarify our ideas and allows others to provide feedback, both key to our development and growth.
Diversity
Being fully remote means we're able to create a team that is truly diverse.
We value diversity and believe it’s important to acknowledge and appreciate each other's differences.
Interview process
You can expect a fast, yet thorough process. While it differs by role, we usually follow a structure of the following stages:
1. Application
Our talent team will review your application to see how your skills and experience align with our needs.
2. Culture interview
If we think there could be a fit, we’ll set up a 30-minute video call.
Our goal is to explore your motivations to join our team, learn why you’d be a great fit, and answer questions about us.
3. Technical interview
Next is a 45-minute technical interview, depending on role. You'll meet the hiring team who will evaluate skills needed to be successful in your role.
4. PostHog SuperDay
The final stage is a paid SuperDay! You’ll join standup, meet the team, and work on a task related to your role, offering a realistic view of what it’s like working at PostHog.
5. Offer
That’s it! If everyone’s happy, we’ll make you an offer to join us - YAY!

Working at PostHog
Real, honest opinions from really honest people
I hate how much I enjoy working at PostHog. It has ruined all other companies for me. Thanks a lot.
I love PostHog’s level of autonomy and transparency. We have a lot of freedom and trust in the team, but we also hold each other accountable and don’t shy away from giving (and receiving) a lot of feedback. Plus the team helped me to pick up some basic coding skills, which is amazing!
Working at PostHog feels like successfully having a lot of cooks in the kitchen. (People might not believe this or find it alarming, so proceed with caution!)
It's a lot of fun and a unique experience to get to work with people from all over the world around a unified goal.
Open roles
Our team is proactively looking for the following:
We take exceptional people when they come along - and we really mean that! Don’t see a specific role listed? That doesn't mean we won't have a spot for you.
We take applications seriously - you won't just end up in a candidate database. We make quick decisions, and if the timing isn’t quite right, we’ll do our best to provide insight into a better time to apply.
