About this team

CDP Team

Shockingly, this team prefers their pizza without pineapple

Join a startup within a startup

Starting a job at a company of 50+ people can be intimidating!

With our small teams structure, it's like working at a startup within a startup. This allows each team to operate as autonomously as possible.

Many of our team members are former founders. Here they can focus on building great products without the distraction of running payroll, fundraising, etc - while still enjoying huge upside potential.

Pineapple on pizza: a house divided

Our small teams meet up in various places around the world. Pizza is often involved. Pineapple on the pizza is optional contentious. Choose your team wisely.

This message brought to you by our co-founder

it looks like:

  • high expectations - i expect you to decide what to ship, for you to ship fast and for you to then iterate with users. you don’t have to do this alone, there are lots of friendly, deeply skilled and helpful people here - you just need to make sure you go get help instead of assuming it will come to you
  • coaching for your team in the early days of a new product
  • growth reviews of your product when it is popular to scale it or split it into more products
  • lots of deep work time
  • we will raise feedback constructively and will encourage crazy ideas
  • lots of weird in jokes

A really long quote

(It was so good we just couldn't cut it down.)

At PostHog I'm given the trust to work on things that I think matter for the business and our customers.

There are no politics, no micromanaging, and pretty extreme amounts of autonomy for every employee.

I've never worked at a company that can ship so well and so fast. The people here are of incredible caliber, and management just gets out of the way (while also being helpful) so everyone can just can do their job in the best way possible.

Basically everything you hate about your job is the exact opposite here at PostHog. It's the weirdest, coolest place I've ever worked.

Get to know us in our company handbook

Almost any question you'll have about working here is answered in our public handbook. But here are some highlights you might be interested to know:

  • Our revenue is over $10 million a year
  • We're default alive
  • If you join us, you will be expected to take a stance on if pineapple belongs on pizza

This hog has an answer

Warning: You'll hate working here if...

  • You want a clearly-documented career progression framework

    We believe shipping is much more important than ticking boxes.

  • You aspire to manage a large team

    Our small teams operate like startups within the company.

  • You want to be able to tell other people what to do

    Anyone can propose an idea, but only the best ideas win.

  • You expect your manager to tell you what to do

    James and Tim provide context in weekly all-hands. But it's up to you to decide where your time is best spent.

  • The phrase "That's not my job" exists in your vocabulary

    We all wear a lot of hats, and we all pitch in wherever's needed.

  • You enjoy playing corporate politics

    We're low ego and nearly all communication is public.

  • You like to have a detailed plan before starting a project

    Our plans always turn out to be wrong anyways, which is why we ship first.

  • "Work you" and "home you" are different people

    We don't put on a corporate facade when we show up to work every day.

  • You require mockups before firing up your code editor

    Projects are developer-led. Design isn't a blocker to shipping.

Who we look for

Our IEP (ideal employee profile)

TL;DR: We don't hire middle management.

Fun fact: We have an internal Slack channel called #do-more-weird where we discuss crazy ideas that most people save for April Fool's Day.

Weirdos

We look for adventurers. We're here to take a small company to IPO, and beyond. We will only get there if we think differently to everyone else. We're not a fit if you want a predictable career.

Joe Martin worked as a clown, a morgue cleaner, and a chainsaw salesman before joining the Marketing team. He now leads the Customer Comms team.

Individual contributors

We think it's more important to hire exceptional people, then give them autonomy and plenty of context. We're not a fit if management responsibility is what motivates you.

Thomas Obermüller was CTO for his previous company of 120 people before joining PostHog as a software engineer on the Product Analytics team.

Low egos

Fast, scrappy people thrive here. We're informal, we use clear language and get a broad variety of work done fast. We're not a fit if you want process.

Cameron DeLeone worked for an $11 billion startup, then was Vice President of a poultry farm before joining PostHog as a CSM.

Unexpected benefits

Perks you'll only find here

Two meeting-free days per week

After extensive research, we've found the best way to ship fast is to have fewer meetings.

*Illustration is not indicative of a product engineer’s calendar at PostHog. We actually have relatively few meetings.

Company off-sites in exotic locations

Each year we organize fully paid company off-sites. The highlight is the hackathon where we team up to build things that aren't on our roadmap.

Off-site history:

YearLocation
2020
Tuscany
2021
Portugal
2022
Iceland
2023
Aruba
2024
Mykonos
2025

Monthly co-working or café credit

Use $300/mo toward a co-working space or coffee shops if that's where you do your best work. Charge it to your company card – everyone gets one.

Small team off-sites

You'll meet up with your small team somewhere fun periodically. Sometimes multiple small teams get together. We have a special budget for you to do this.

Recent small team off-sites have been in Sicily, Munich, Valencia, Sedona (Arizona), and Palm Springs (California).

Access to the Hedge House

Work with co-workers (or by yourself) in Cambridge, UK and stay for free whenever you want.

Local meetup budget

You're encouraged to meet up with other team members who you don't work with on a regular basis with a generous quarterly budget.

The boring benefits

Everybody offers healthcare, paid time off, and a laptop, so we organized our benefits by awesomeness. (Would we even be a tech startup without these?)

The one exception is equity (which you get), but is so unique that it deserves its own section below.

Unlimited paid time off (25 days minimum!)

You're required to take at least 25 days off per year. (If you don't, you will be locked out of Slack. Just kidding.) This doesn't come out of your sick leave or generous parental leave.

Training budget

Pick up new skills on the job with an annual training budget, plus free books and an Audible subscription.

401k matching or pension plan

Up to 4% matching for U.S. employees

Carbon offsetting

We contribute to Project Wren when we travel for work.

Home office

Get whatever you need to have an ergonomic setup at home so you can do the best work of your life.

Private health, dental, and vision insurance

US, Canada, & UK only

Compensation & equity

We hire the best talent and pay accordingly. We want everyone to feel invested in the company's success, so we offer equity with very employee-friendly terms.

    You can trade up to 100% of any pay rise you receive for share options at a 1:1 ratio of cash to equity.
  • Employee secondaries (when offered)
    In 2024, we held our first secondary for early employees to sell some of their shares. We plan on doing more in the future.

The most transparent company, ever

We're open-source and fully remote. In order to enable teams to make great decisions, we share as much information as we can. This includes:

Board meetings

We share slides from each board meeting internally. When everyone knows the direction we're headed and the obstacles we face, they can decide where their time is best spent.

Fundraising & finances

We keep our team informed about fundraising during the process and share a monthly report covering revenue, runway, and more. It's nice when you can see your hard work paying off (literally).

Constructive feedback

Transparency is a two-way street. We encourage individual feedback and run regular 360-degree group sessions during small team off-sites, so everyone can improve.

Working at PostHog is a truly unique experience, which has probably set me up to hate any other job out there. I get to work on bizarre and challenging projects and no day is ever the same.
