<h2>About PostHog</h2>We <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/handbook/why-does-posthog-exist">equip every developer to build successful products</a>.We started with open-source product analytics, <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/handbook/story">launched out of Y Combinators W20 cohort</a>.Weve since shipped <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/products">more than a dozen products</a>, including <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/docs/data-warehouse">a built-in data warehouse</a>, <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/docs/cdp">a customer data platform</a>, and <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/ai">PostHog AI</a>, 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 <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/handbook/values">values</a> are not a poster on the wall full of aspiration. They’ve come from how we really work, day in day out.We are:<ol><li>Product-led. More than 100,000 companies have installed PostHog, mostly driven by word-of-mouth. We have intensely strong product-market fit.</li><li>Well-funded. Weve raised nearly $200m from some of the worlds top <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/handbook/strategy/investors">investors</a>. Were set up for a long, ambitious journey.</li><li>Default alive. Revenue is growing 10% MoM on average, and were very efficient. We raise money to push ambition and grow faster, not to keep the lights on.</li></ol>Were focused on building an awesome product for end users, hiring exceptional teammates, shipping fast, and <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/deskhog">being as weird as possible</a>.<h2>Things we care about</h2><ul><li>Transparency: Everyone can read about our roadmap, how we pay (or even let go of) people, our strategy, and how we work, in our <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/handbook">public company handbook</a>. Internally, we share revenue, notes and slides from board meetings, and fundraising plans, so everyone has the context they need to make good decisions.</li><li>Autonomy: We don’t tell anyone what to do. Everyone chooses what to work on next based on whats going to have the biggest impact on our customers, and what they find interesting and motivating to work on. <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/handbook/wide-company">Engineers lead product teams</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/handbook/which-products">make product decisions</a>. Teams are flexible and easy to change when needed.</li><li>Shipping fast: <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/handbook/values#why-not-now">Why not now?</a> We want to build a lot of products; we cant do that shipping at a normal pace. Weve built the company around small teams – autonomous, highly-efficient groups of <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/founders/cracked-manifesto">cracked engineers</a> who can outship much larger companies because they own their products end-to-end.</li><li>Time for building: Nothing gets shipped in a meeting. Were a natively remote company. We default to async communication – PRs &gt; Issues &gt; Slack. Tuesdays and Thursdays are <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/handbook/company/culture#were-on-the-makers-schedule">meeting-free days</a>, and we prioritize heads down building time over perfect coordination. This will be the most productive job youve ever had.</li><li>Ambition: We want to solve big problems. We strongly believe aiming for the best possible upside, and sometimes missing, is better than never trying. Were optimistic about whats possible and our ability to get there.</li><li>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 <a target="_blank" href="https://posthog.com/deskhog">objectively unnecessary developer toy</a> with dubious shareholder value. Doing weird stuff is a competitive advantage. And its fun.</li></ul><h2>Job Summary</h2>Youll be our bean counter Von Neumann-style, our GAAP gremlin, balance beaver, accrual assassin, reconciliation rogue. Finance can be fun.
