Backend Engineer - Ingestion

The product analytics suite you can host yourself. With our open source platform, customer data never has to leave your infrastructure.

We're working to increase the number of successful products in the world. We could use your help.

Until now, tools for building products have been fragmented. Product analytics, heatmaps, session recording and A/B testing all provide immense value, but existing tools weren’t natively built to work together.

PostHog is different by offering these tools (and more) in a single platform that you can host yourself.

We started PostHog as part of 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're proudly backed by some of the world's top investors and 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.

What does this mean for you? We have a lot of capital, 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 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.

Why transparency matters

Trust

A fully remote environment only works when we all trust each other.

Inclusivity

Sharing information means all of us can have a voice in PostHog's future.

Growth

We enable everyone to make informed decisions about what they spend time on.
