About PostHog

  • PostHog Code, the only AI devtool that understands your product, not just your codebase.
  • A built-in data warehouse, so users can query product and customer data together using custom SQL insights.
  • PostHog AI, an AI-powered analyst that answers product questions, helps users find useful session recordings, and writes custom SQL queries.

Things we care about

  • Transparency: Everyone can read about our roadmap, how we pay (or even let go of) people, our strategy, and how we work, in our public company handbook. Internally, we share revenue, notes and slides from board meetings, and fundraising plans, so everyone has the context they need to make good decisions.
  • Autonomy: We don’t tell anyone what to do. Everyone chooses what to work on next based on what's going to have the biggest impact on our customers, and what they find interesting and motivating to work on. Engineers lead product teams and make product decisions. Teams are flexible and easy to change when needed.
  • Shipping fast: Why not now? We want to build a lot of products; we can't do that shipping at a normal pace. We've built the company around small teams – autonomous, highly-efficient groups of cracked engineers who can outship much larger companies because they own their products end-to-end.
  • Time for building: Nothing gets shipped in a meeting. We're a natively remote company. We default to async communication – PRs > Issues > Slack. Tuesdays and Thursdays are meeting-free days, and we prioritize heads down building time over perfect coordination. This will be the most productive job you've ever had.
  • Ambition: We want to solve big problems. We strongly believe that aiming for the best possible upside, and sometimes missing, is better than never trying. We're optimistic about what's possible and our ability to get there.
  • Being weird: Weird means redesigning an already world-class website for the 5th time. It means shipping literally every product that relates to customer data. It means building an objectively unnecessary developer toy with dubious shareholder value. Doing weird stuff is a competitive advantage. And it's fun.

What you’ll be doing

  • Forum — slow, indexed depth. Concrete opening project: clean up out-of-date questions, clarify what the forum is for, start actively triaging and seeding. The decline isn't because users don't want to talk; it's because no one is doing the maintenance and hosting work.
  • Discord — raw, real-time, not indexed. Currently in test mode; you take it over fully and aim for the 20% DAU default-alive benchmark. We haven't proven Discord will compound for us long-term, but the size of comparable companies' servers says it should. If it doesn't, you're the person who calls it.
  • Reddit — public, discoverable. Narrow scope: recruit passionate community members to help run the subreddit, and personally lead high-leverage moments like AMAs. Not daily triage.

Requirements

  • Track record of building or stewarding an online community where high-quality conversations happened — forum, Discord, Slack, subreddit, doesn't matter which, results matter
  • Already an active PostHog user. Not "willing to learn it" — you're using PostHog in your own work today, you know the product surface area well enough to have a credible technical conversation with any user
  • Has been an active participant in developer communities (not just managed them from the outside)
  • Strong public writing/speaking — you'll be modeling the conversational standard you want users to meet
  • Embody PostHog's values in your day-to-day experiences

Requirements

  • OSS maintainer experience
  • Has run a developer-focused program before (champions, ambassadors, fellows, hackathons)
  • Has built an audience of their own (newsletter, podcast, YouTube, Twitter/X — any of it)
