Requirements
• We're hiring for a range of roles here. What you end up working on will depend on your exact skillset and preferences, so choose your own adventure. • In general we seek Product Engineers who are: • Enthusiastic drivers. We need proactive people that can fully own projects and get them done, and know to get help when needed. This is what being a product engineer is all about. "Are we there yet?" is the wrong question. • Enthusiastic drivers. • Optimistic problem solvers. Things get hard here sometimes – whether it's scaling, shipping complex products, handling a stream of support requests, or trying to ship something that touches multiple teams. We need people who won't get disheartened, and will collaborate, iterate, and ship their way out of anything. • Optimistic problem solvers. • Grown ups. We’re an international bunch of weirdos, but one thing unites us: everyone is kind, considerate, and professional towards each other. This isn't about age or experience, it's about being low-ego, flexible, and respectful. • Grown ups. • Genuine builders. PostHog is full of people who just love building stuff, people who would still be building software even if there wasn't a paycheck at the end. If this sounds like you, we should talk. • Genuine builders. • Right now, we are also looking for: • IAM specialist: You’ll design and ship core features like SAML support, new identity providers, and even our own IAM system. Start with internal tooling, then roll them out to customers. Tell us how you’d make these systems so solid that other teams can build on them without hesitation. • IAM specialist: • Full-stack experience with relevant technologies – e.g. Python or similar, React or similar, something to do with big data is a bonus. • Experience taking a project from 0 to 1. You might have led a project, been a founder previously, or built an impressive side project. • Strong writing skills. We document everything, most of it publicly. The ability to communicate your ideas and make persuasive arguments is essential. • Have worked at a high-growth SaaS company before. • Extensive knowledge of Django and/or TypeScript-based React. • Experience building AI-native products, or integrating AI into existing software. • If you have a disability, please let us know if there's any way we can make the interview process better for you - we're happy to accommodate!
Responsibilities
• Owning products and features from beginning to end. This means originating ideas based on your intuition, talking to users, and understanding our strategy and goals. It means testing MVPs in production with real users. It means iterating on their feedback, owning pricing, and ensuring the ongoing success of your work. • Collaborating with design (when necessary). Product engineers at PostHog are full stack, so we expect you to ship and own the basic UX of your work using our design system. From there, it's up to you to decide when to collaborate with our design team to iterate and polish the experience. • Talking to users. Good product engineers read feedback from users and iterate quickly. Great product engineers have users they're friendly with, talk with them frequently, bounce ideas off them, and iterate with them when they ship new things. • Doing support. Every week, one person in each engineering team is designated the Support hero. Their job is to investigate and resolve issues reported by customers for their product. Giving users support from real engineers, and shipping fixes and improvements in real-time, is one of the best ways to spark joy in users. This role will also include some on-call time, too. • Writing docs. We have a content team that will collaborate with you on reviewing, polishing, and improving your documentation, but the best person to document a new feature is the person who built it.
Benefits
• Equity options available to employees as part of their compensation package. • Paid Time Off (PTO) provided for the wellbeing and work-life balance of team members. • Comprehensive insurance coverage offered by PostHog, ensuring peace of mind for employees and their families. • Perks such as flexible working hours or additional vacation days to enhance job satisfaction. • Remote work options available, allowing employees the flexibility to work from home or other locations if needed.
