About PostHog

We help developers build successful products by giving them a suite of products to analyze, test, observe, and deploy new features. We currently offer product and web analytics, session replay, feature flags, A/B testing, a CDP, SQL access, and a data warehouse… and there’s plenty more to come.

PostHog was created as an open-source project during Y Combinator's W20 cohort. We had the most successful B2B software launch on HackerNews since 2012 with a product that was just 4 weeks old. Since then, more than 70,000 companies have installed the platform. We've had huge success with our paid upgrades, raised $27m from some of the world's top investors, and have shown strong product-led growth – 97% driven by word of mouth. 

We're growing quickly, but sustainably. We're also default alive, averaging 10% monthly revenue growth and with more than $10m ARR. We're staying focused on building an awesome product for end users, hiring a handful of exceptional team members, and seeing fantastic growth as a result.

What we value

  • We value depth over volume. If you want to spend 2 weeks writing a really in-depth guide, go for it!

  • Talent over marketing experience. Our marketing team is mostly composed of people with a technical background, so you don't need to have marketing experience.

  • 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.

  • Solving big problems – we haven't built our defining feature yet. We are all about shipping fast, talking to users, and iterating.

What you’ll be doing

  • ✅ Writing informative blog posts and tutorials that attract new developers to PostHog.

  • ✅ Improving our documentation and writing guides that solve problems for existing users.

  • ✅ Working with our product teams to turn new features into engaging and timely content ideas.

  • ✅ Contributing high-quality and opinionated articles to our newsletter, Product for Engineers, which has over 15,000 subscribers.

  • ✅ Analyzing how your content performs (using PostHog!) and deciding how to adjust our content strategy accordingly.

  • ✅ Choosing your own adventures. We want people who can come up with their own ideas and follow them through.

What you won't be doing

  • ❌ Working to a quota. This job isn't about shipping 3 mediocre blog posts a week.

  • ❌ Grinding through an endless list of SEO keywords. Content optimized for Google (despite what you hear, it's still a thing) is important, but we value quality over quantity.

  • ❌ Obsessing over the conversion metrics of every piece of content you publish.

Requirements

  • You've written engaging content for developers.

  • Software development experience, though not necessarily in a formal role. Building apps in your free time or having done a bootcamp counts. 

  • Excellent writing, research, and communication skills.

  • Original, interesting takes on topics developers care about.

  • A genuine love of writing.

Nice to have

  • You have another string to your bow – maybe you've dabbled in video content creation, or social media? It could be anything, really.
