Safely roll out features to specific users or groups

Meet the team

PostHog works in small teams. The Feature Flags team is responsible for building feature flags.

(Shockingly, this team prefers their pizza without pineapple.)

• Annika Schmid

  Product Manager

  London

  

  

  Believe it or not, my first job included writing exciting marketing campaigns for robotic handling systems. (It wasn’t that exciting.) So I ended up moving to London in 2019 to study for an MSc in Human-Computer Interaction at UCL. (Way more exciting.) My plan was to land a job in a startup after graduating, which, through a bit of ‘hustling’ (Sigma Squared Summit, Voyagers, Kickstart London) and being in the right place at the right time actually worked out.

  After graduating, I joined an early-stage startup called Caura, where I first had the title of a Product Designer and later on, that of a Product Manager. Titles aside, what motivates me most in my work is talking to users about what they want, uncovering what they actually mean by that and then building something they didn’t even think they needed.

  I joined PostHog in autumn 2022, arguably the most exciting step in my career so far.

  What else? On weekends, I hang out with friends, try to make a dent in my ever growing reading list or learn something new. My family is from the Black Forest region in Germany, so I spend a couple of weeks every year working from there, going on lots of countryside walks and eating Black Forest gateau.

• Dylan Martin

  Product Engineer

  Seattle

  

  

  I'm a seasoned software engineer, writer, polyglot programmer, career mentor, math enthusiast, ski bum, rock climber, amateur powerlifter, enthusiastic intramural athlete, plant dad, jazz pianist, language geek, and deep learning dilettante.

  I've always been fascinated by the intersection of creativity and constraints. I love understanding how systems work and exploring the grey areas between well-defined spaces.

  In college I studied physics and music – the physics helped me understand how the world worked, and then music helped color it in. I don't do a lot of physics anymore, but I still play music regularly (mostly in my living room, but I'll play venues around town from time to time).

  Professionally, I'm a startup veteran who loves building the foundational systems upon which successful companies are built. I love programming languages, static types, opinionated DevEx, making APIs go fast, sanding user interfaces, and crafting simple user experiences that bely complex operations under the hood. I've worked at 3 unicorn startups so far across a variety of industries – robotics, fintech, and Utah's biggest SaaS exit – and I'm eager to make PostHog the biggest and best one yet!

  I live in Seattle overlooking a lake with my wife, various instruments, some tasteful furniture and countless houseplants. We love traveling, coffee, playing outside, trail running, watching bad TV, talking about software, and experimenting in the kitchen.

  Some of fun facts about me:

  • I've skied in 4 different continents (and have a life goal to ski in all 7)
  • I went semi-viral on LinkedIn for playing piano at an Elton John concert
  • Years ago, I accidentally won a fashion contest in Dublin

• Phil Haack

  Product Engineer

  Washington

  

  

  My name is Phil Haack, pronounced "fill hack", and I know what you're thinking, what a great name for a software engineer, Phil!

  Growing up, the US Air Force deemed it necessary to move my family to new places every three or so years. Places such as: Michigan (upper peninsula), Okinawa, Florida (Tampa), Spain (Torrejon), Guam, Alaska. I bet that had a big impact on the way I see the world, hopefully in a good way.

  Afterwards, I moved to California (Los Angeles) for college. While there, I did a study abroad program in Budapest, Hungary for a few months, so I count that as a place that I lived. Some time after college, I moved to Washington to work at Microsoft.

  I've had the good fortune to travel to many more places. One of my favorite ways to travel is to give a talk at a conference in a country because I end up meeting so many locals.

  Much of my career has been developing open source products and tools for developers. NuGet, ASP.NET MVC, and GitHub are some of the things I've worked on that are widely used. Prior to PostHog, I co-founded a start-up that built a chat bot that was going to take over the world so we had to put it down (the lack of product market fit also contributed to that outcome).

  For fun I love to hang out with my kids, play soccer, ski, go boating, travel, and just enjoy life with other people.
