PostHog

Automate, manage, and maintain large-scale ClickHouse clusters including provisioning, scaling, and performance optimization. | Experience with ClickHouse or other OLAP databases internals, automation using Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, and managing large-scale data infrastructure. | About PostHog We equip every developer to build successful products. We started with open-source product analytics, launched out of Y Combinator's W20 cohort. We've since shipped more than a dozen products, including a built-in data warehouse, a customer data platform, and Max AI, an AI-powered analyst that answers product questions, helps users find useful session recordings, and writes custom SQL queries. Next on the roadmap are messaging, customer analytics, ai task creation and coding based on customer data, logs and support analytics. Our values are not a poster on the wall full of aspiration. They’ve come from how we really work, day in day out. PostHog is open source product led, and a default alive company that is well funded. What you'll be doing ClickHouse is the core piece of infrastructure at PostHog. Every product and customer relies on it to ingest, store, and query data. We need someone to automate, manage, and maintain ClickHouse as we grow towards capturing trillions of events per year and having one of the world’s largest clusters. This includes ClickHouse operations and scaling infrastructure, as well as node and instance-level performance optimization. We want to ensure that we have the right hardware deployed at the right time for each workload on ClickHouse. You'll build systems and automations for the provisioning and scaling of our large ClickHouse clusters, handling over 100 PB's of data. You'll have the ability to investigate and experiment using the latest hardware that cloud providers have to offer in order to find the optimal setup for our solution. And yes, You'll have a budget to do this. You'll be using Terraform, Ansible, and Kubernetes to automate the dynamic provisioning of instances and work on a bleeding edge ClickHouse implementation, like open format backed tables, and not just maintenance. We're also building a query optimizer for ClickHouse, which means you will work on query performance tooling. You’ll fit right in if: You bring OLAP Database Experience. This role is focussed on ClickHouse, but if you bring strong experience with other OLAP Databases, that's great. We're looking for people that went into the internals of ClickHouse and other OLAP Databases, not high level users. You bring experience in automating Dynamic provisioning instances. Strong experience with utilizing Terraform, Ansible and K8s is important. You bring experience with Scale and Complexity! We're building and operating high-scale complex data storage solutions, we need you to have experience with the challenges this brings. You bring the Stack we need. We build using Python, Terraform, Ansible, Kubernetes, AWS, and Zookeeper (An alternative to Zookeeper is fine) You’re ready to do the best work of your career. We have incredible distribution, a big financial cushion and an amazing team. There’s probably no better place to see how far you can go. If this sounds like you, we should talk. We are committed to ensuring a fair and accessible interview process. If you need any accommodations or adjustments, please let us know. What’s in it for you? Now that we've told you what you'll be building with us, let's talk about what we'll be building for you.

About PostHog We're shipping every product that developers need to build successful products. We started with open-source product analytics, launched out of Y Combinator's W20 cohort. We've since shipped more than a dozen products, including a built-in data warehouse, a customer data platform, and Max AI, an AI-powered analyst that answers product questions, helps users find useful session recordings, and writes custom SQL queries. Next on the roadmap are messaging, revenue analytics, and support products. Our values are not a poster on the wall full of aspiration. They’ve come from how we really work. PostHog is open source, product led, and a default alive company that is well-funded. What we're looking for 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. You should apply if any (not all) of the below interest you: • Newsletter contributors: We have an amazing newsletter, Product for Engineers, with over 100k subscribers, and we want to launch more. We need great writers who can contribute polished, opinionated, and original articles for our audience of product engineers and founders. It's an ideal role for a developer who loves writing blogs and wants to access a larger audience. Pitch us an idea for a newsletter. • Developers who love teaching: We're building a big platform of tools, so there's lots for users to learn. If you can write great documentation, build example apps, pull together SDK references, or develop actionable learning content, we want to hear from you. Tell us how you'd improve our docs, or how you'd help users learn PostHog. • Developer content creators: You could have your own YouTube channel, run a Substack, or host a podcast – or have aspirations for doing so. Whatever your thing is, we're looking for people who love creating content for developers in any format. Got a pitch for what we should be doing here? Tell us about it. You’ll fit right in if: • You have real development chops. We don't expect you to be a 10x dev, but experience in software development, either in full-time roles or through side projects, is essential. Our audience are devs, so you need to be too. • You figure out problems independently. There's rarely a blueprint to follow, or a list of jobs to be done at PostHog. We work together to find the best answers and solutions, but we expect everyone to bring a point of view and ideas they can execute. • You love content creation: Whether it's writing blogs, docs and tutorials, long-form videos, or short form clips, we're looking for people who love the craft of creating content for developers. People who love educating, or entertaining, through their work. • You're M or T-shaped: We're talking about skills and knowledge here. Being an expert in coding with AI who can write well could be a good profile, as could being deeply skillful at writing docs, tutorials, and information architecture. We're not looking for a single type of person, we're looking for talented generalists who bring some specific skills or perspective we lack. If this sounds like you, we should talk. We are committed to ensuring a fair and accessible interview process. If you need any accommodations or adjustments, please let us know

Manage and grow social media presence and influencer partnerships, create and execute social strategies, and collaborate internally to support launches and projects. | Proven experience running social channels and managing influencers, technical literacy to engage users, and a strong online cultural understanding. | Help us to increase the number of successful products in the world! 🌍 Location: We are full-remote and globally distributed! Our team is distributed between GMT-5 and GMT+2, so we currently only hire in these time zones. 🎤 Interview process: 4 stages across 2-3 weeks: 1) 30 min call with People Ops 2) 1-hour technical interview with Joe Martin 3) 20 min call with Charles Cook, 4) SuperDay. Read more about our interview process. 🖥️ Team: Marketing 💼 Manager: Joe Martin 💰 Compensation: Please check our compensation calculator. 🦔 Read more about how we hire and how we think about Diversity & Inclusion. About PostHog We're shipping every product that companies need from their first day, to the day they IPO, and beyond. The operating system for folks who build products. We started with open-source product analytics, launched out of Y Combinator's W20 cohort. We've since shipped more than a dozen products, including: A built-in data warehouse, so users can query product and customer data together using custom SQL insights. A customer data platform, so they can send their data wherever they need with ease. Max AI, an AI-powered analyst that answers product questions, helps users find useful session recordings, and writes custom SQL queries. Next on the roadmap are CRM, messaging, revenue analytics, and support products. When we say every product, we really mean it! We are: Product-led. More than 100,000 companies have installed PostHog, mostly driven by word-of-mouth. We have intensely strong product-market fit. Well-funded. We've raised more than $100m from some of the world's top investors. We're set up for a long, ambitious journey. Default alive. Revenue is growing 10% MoM on average, and we're very efficient. We raise money to push ambition and grow faster, not to keep the lights on. We're focused on building an awesome product for end users, hiring exceptional teammates, shipping fast, and being as weird as possible. 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 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. Job Summary Run our social media presence and manage our influencer partnerships. You’ll be 50% social, 50% influencers — keeping our online communities active and growing them. Why PostHog? You’ll have ownership. Nobody owns social today. You’ll set the tone and strategy from scratch. You’ll have momentum. Influencers already love us, and we get constant inbound opportunities. You’ll have resources. We want to spend more, not less. You’ll decide where and why. What you’ll be doing Run our social media. Create and execute tailored strategies for our social media channels. Manage influencers. You'll own influencers as a channel: identify, pitch, negotiate, and support relationships. Build content partnerships. Make sure PostHog shows up in the right podcasts, newsletters, and sponsorship slots. Team up internally. Ensure launches, projects, and IRL events get the social support they deserve. What you won't be doing ❌ #HashtagMarketing. Our brand is important to us. We don’t want #B2B #boring content. ❌ Strategy-only work. All roles at PostHog are hands-on. You’ll set the plan and ship it. ❌ Run physical events. We have someone else on that. You’ll get to work with them. Requirements Proven experience running social channels for a brand-led company Proven experience with influencers (finding, negotiating, managing) Enough technical literacy to answer user questions without fear Meme literacy + terminally online mindset Nice to have Existing relationships with tech influencers Proactive campaign ideas (not just reacting to inbound) Experience with community management (Reddit, Discord, startup programs, etc) 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! #LI-DNI

Doing weird stuff is a competitive advantage. And it's fun. Who we’re looking for • Growth mindset: You'll be obsessed with finding new opportunities. Pages we should improve. Low-hanging SEO opportunities. ChatGPT prompts we should be cited in. Nothing will motivate you more than finding an opportunity, creating content for it, and measuring the impact of your work. • Tuned into new trends: The game is changing. You'll be dialed into the changing landscape of SEO / GEO. New tools we should be using. Tactics we should employ. How to measure success. • Good taste: We care about quality. We want a strong writer and editor who understands the difference between good and great content, and how to structure their work in a way that works as well for people as crawlers and agents. What you’ll be doing • Owning top-of-funnel content: This means writing, editing, and commissioning content that will increase awareness of PostHog, our products, and new launches. This could include high-intent landing pages like the best open-source analytics tools, product comparisons, or in-depth guides. • Supporting product launches: If there's a new product or feature to shout about, there's a good chance you'll be involved in either writing and editing the content to support it, or coming up with the content plan for that launch. Examples include session replay pricing and our Series D fundraise announcement. • Performance monitoring: You'll be on top of how our content is performing, unexplained drops in the traffic, what content converts to intent and/or conversions, and feeding that context to the team in an actionable way. • Maintaining existing content: We have a long tail of content that needs regular maintenance to keep up-to-date and visible in search engines. You'll need to assess how to prioritize this work, and strong takes on how to improve everything incrementally. • Informing best practices: Whether it's internal linking, or how we organise and tag content, we want some who will drive standards upwards in every area. Requirements • Strong SEO knowledge: You need to be familiar with popular tools, like Ahrefs, Google Search Console, and the new AI visibility platforms, as well as on-page and off-page best practices. • Good writing and editing skills: Modern content marketing is all about being part-writer and editor and part-analyst. It's fine if you're stronger in one area than the other, and we can help you develop in all areas, but writing skills are non-negotiable. • Analytics expertise: It doesn't matter so much what you've used in the past, just that you know what you're looking for. We use PostHog for all our analytics, but experience using any modern analytics tool will be helpful. Nice to haves • Technical SEO fundamentals: This is mostly a content + analyst role, but a little technical knowledge (e.g. understanding crawl budgets, server-side vs client-side rendering, etc.) will be a very useful bonus. • Already familiar with PostHog: Not necessary, but definitely useful. We use PostHog for everything. • Social media skills: Writing for social media isn't a part of this role, but it'll be useful if you can contribute here. • Experience managing freelancers and agencies: We don't currently work with external content contributors, but we don't rule it out. • Experience at similar companies: We're interested in people from any content background, but experience working at B2B SaaS startups and scale-ups is a plus, especially if you've written for a software developer audience before. 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! #LI-DNI
