We're working to increase the number of successful products
in the world.
We could use your help.
A note from our co-founders...
An introduction
Until now, tools for building products have been fragmented. Product analytics, heatmaps, session recording, feature flags and experiments are all helpful, but no one wants to buy, send data to, and integrate multiple products.
PostHog is different by offering these tools (and more) in a single platform that you can host yourself.
We started PostHog during Y Combinator's W20 cohort and had the most successful B2B software launch on Hacker News since 2012 - with a product that was just 4 weeks old.
We now have over 10,000 customers, we're default alive, we grow 97% through word of mouth, and we have a very popular repo.
We 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.
The company operates transparently - we've made our entire handbook public-facing (and world editable!).
What does this mean for you? We have a lot of capital (and from the world's best investors), but we're a lean, strong team - so you've got the opportunity to have a huge impact.
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:
Compensation
We pay generously and built a compensation calculator to keep salary discussions simple and fair. You’ll know your approximate starting salary before you even apply.
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 with the whole company, so everyone can improve.
Go big
Our mission is to increase the number of successful products in the world.
In 2026 we aim to go public with $100M revenue. To achieve this, PostHog will need to be the standard devtool for building better products.
We look for people who are:
Different
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.
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.
Scrappy
Fast, low ego 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.
I hate how much I enjoy working at PostHog. It has ruined all other companies for me. Thanks a lot.
Get paid to try working here
We do 2-3 short interviews, then pay you to do some real life, or close to real life, work:
I feel so welcome to just be my true self here, while also being able to get consistent and honest feedback on how I can improve myself even further. (Also, I made a TikTok of our company offsite in Portugal and my CEO made an account and liked it, so that was cool.)
Benefits
We're always looking to expand our benefits to offer meaningful value to our team who make all of this possible.
Generous, transparent 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.
Unlimited vacation (with a minimum!)
Time away from work is important, so we’ve got unlimited time off (25 days per year minimum required!), plus sick leave and generous parental leave.
Two meeting-free days per week
Distracted by a calendar full of meetings? Not anymore.
Home office
We provide all equipment needed have an ergonomic setup at home to be as productive as possible.
Coworking credit
Generous budget towards co-working or café working.
Private health, dental, and vision insurance.
US, Canada, & UK only
Training budget
Generous annual budget, plus free books and Audible subscription.
Access to our Hedge House
Work with co-workers (or by yourself) in Cambridge, UK and stay for free whenever you want.
Carbon offsetting
We protect the environment when we travel for work with Project Wren.
Pension & 401k contributions
Because one day you'll need it.
We hire and pay locally
Get hired through a local subsidiary in most countries via Deel EOR.
Company offsites
We organize an annual all-hands offsite - this year it was Mykonos! Sometimes it’s good to speak face to face.
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!)

Things are transparent and people welcome my feedback. I love this because I can make a difference not just for my team, but the entire company.
Open roles
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. Send us a speculative application!
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.
Regardless of the timing of your application or interest in PostHog, you can go ahead and contribute to one of our good first issues.
