Job summary
Who we're looking for
PostHog is working on a self-driving product and is training its own Deep ML models. To do this, we have a new AI Research team.
We track more products across more dimensions than any other company on Earth. Because of this, we have petabytes of data across events, errors, session replays, revenue data, and more. It’s an exceptionally large amount of data relative to our company size, and we want to use it for our users' benefit. Just imagine how, with the vast amount of data we capture, we can automatically surface insights and suggest fixes.
As an AI Research Engineer, you will play a substantial part in making this happen. This team is brand new, so you will have real autonomy, be close to customers, and greatly influence what we actually ship.
On the finance side, we have around $150M on our balance sheet, we’re "default alive," and we have a real business that has been scaling rapidly and running exceptionally efficiently with good margins for six years. We invest in what we believe moves the needle.

Join a startup within a startup
Starting a job at a company of 220+ people can be intimidating!
With our small teams structure, it's like working at a startup within a startup. This allows each team to operate as autonomously as possible.
Many of our team members are former founders. Here they can focus on building great products without the distraction of running payroll, fundraising, etc - while still enjoying huge upside potential.

yo, i’m james, one of the two co-founders, and there are a lot of things i can’t offer you…
- we don’t offer career progression frameworks
- we don’t offer mentorship
- we don’t offer lots of meetings
- we don’t hold back if we think something is wrong
- i don’t offer many capital letters

if you join, my job is to provide an environment where we coach you to build the best products you can.

it looks like:
- high expectations - i expect you to decide what to ship, for you to ship fast and for you to then iterate with users. you don’t have to do this alone, there are lots of friendly, deeply skilled and helpful people here - you just need to make sure you go get help instead of assuming it will come to you
- coaching for your team in the early days of a new product
- growth reviews of your product when it is popular to scale it or split it into more products
- lots of deep work time
- we will raise feedback constructively and will encourage crazy ideas
- lots of weird inside jokes

i believe you focusing on shipping products and learning from this is how you progress your career. anything else is a means to this end.

if you are joining a role outside of engineering, the concepts are exactly the same. that’s why we’re well known for a very different approach to marketing, sales, ops, recruitment and design.

A really long quote
(It was so good we just couldn't cut it down.)
At PostHog I'm given the trust to work on things that I think matter for the business and our customers.
There are no politics, no micromanaging, and pretty extreme amounts of autonomy for every employee.
I've never worked at a company that can ship so well and so fast. The people here are of incredible caliber, and management just gets out of the way (while also being helpful) so everyone can just can do their job in the best way possible.
Basically everything you hate about your job is the exact opposite here at PostHog. It's the weirdest, coolest place I've ever worked.
Get to know us in our company handbook
Almost any question you'll have about working here is answered in our public handbook. But here are some highlights you might be interested to know:
- Our revenue is over $50 million a year
- We're default alive
- If you join us, you will be expected to take a stance on if pineapple belongs on pizza
Who we look for
Our IEP (ideal employee profile)
TL;DR: We don't hire middle management.
Fun fact: We have an internal Slack channel called #do-more-weird where we discuss crazy ideas that most companies save for April Fool's Day.
Weirdos
We look for adventurers. We're here to take a small company to IPO, and beyond. We will only get there if we think differently to everyone else. We're not a fit if you want a predictable career.
Joe MartinJoe Martin](/content/community/profiles/29070/index.html) worked as a clown, a morgue cleaner, and a chainsaw salesman before joining the
Marketing Team\ \ \ \ \ Marketing Team, which he now leads.
Individual contributors
We think it's more important to hire exceptional people, then give them autonomy and plenty of context. We're not a fit if management responsibility is what motivates you.
Thomas ObermüllerThomas Obermüller](/content/community/profiles/30210/index.html) was CTO for his previous company of 120 people before joining PostHog as a software engineer on the
Product Analytics Team\ \ \ \ \ Product Analytics Team, which he – surprise! – leads.
Low egos
Fast, scrappy people thrive here. We're informal, we use clear language and get a broad variety of work done fast. We're not a fit if you want process.
Cameron DeLeoneCameron DeLeone](/content/community/profiles/28622/index.html) worked for an $11 billion startup, then was Vice President of a poultry farm before joining PostHog as a CSM.
Unexpected benefits
Perks you'll only find here
Two meeting-free days per week
After extensive research, we've found the best way to ship fast is to have fewer meetings.
*Illustration is not indicative of a product engineer’s calendar at PostHog. We actually have relatively few meetings.
Company off-sites in exotic locations
Each year we organize fully paid company off-sites. The highlight is the hackathon where we team up to build things that aren't on our roadmap.
Off-site history:

Co-working or café credits on us
If heading out to a co-working space or getting some overpriced coffee from boogie coffee shops is how you do your best work, you get to charge it to your company card – everyone gets one.
Small team off-sites
You'll meet up with your small team somewhere fun periodically. Sometimes multiple small teams get together. We have a special budget for you to do this.
Recent small team off-sites have been in Sicily, Lisbon, Santiago, Cartagena, Sedona (Arizona), and Palm Springs (California).
Access to the Hedge Houses
We have a dedicated [coworking space](/content/handbook/people/hogpatch/index.html) in San Francisco (SF) where you'll often find YC founders/members and some of our team working together. In London, we have a house where you can both work and relax, giving you options for collaborative or solo work in the city. There's also a house in Cambridge, UK available for employees to work from or stay at.
The boring benefits
Everybody offers healthcare, paid time off, and a laptop, so we organized our benefits by awesomeness. (Would we even be a tech startup without these?)
The one exception is equity (which you get), but is so unique that it deserves its own section below.
Unlimited paid time off (25 days minimum!)
You're required to take at least 25 days off per year. (If you don't, you will be locked out of Slack. Just kidding.) This doesn't come out of your sick leave or generous parental leave.
Training budget
Pick up new skills on the job with an annual training budget, plus free books and an Audible subscription.
401k matching or pension plan
Up to 4% matching for U.S. employees
Carbon offsetting
We contribute to Project Wren when we travel for work.
Home office
Get whatever you need to have an ergonomic setup at home so you can do the best work of your life.
Private health, dental, and vision insurance
US, Canada, & UK only
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:
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 during the process 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 during small team off-sites, so everyone can improve.

Live, Laugh, LEquip every developer to build successful products
Our jobs are zero fun. Here are some things that have made it a little less insufferable.
IsGoogleAnalyticsIllegal.com
We spun up a microsite when courts across the EU started to find Google Analytics in violation of GDPR.
That one time we found favor on Hacker News
We appear on Hacker News quite often. And we don't even submit all of our own posts!
Taught people how to actually use post-its
A company will not find success unless they are in the top 1 percentile of using post-its. You can learn how to do that too.
Patrick Collison tweeted about us
When the co-founder of Stripe tweets about you unsolicitedly, it's a big deal.
6+ hour GitHub star live stream
When we hit 10,000 stars on GitHub, live streamed to thank every single one of them.
35k+ GitHub stars
We are honored to be the most popular open source Product OS on GitHub. (Yes, we defined the category, but still...)
Won't you be our next star?
Enterprise modeTM on PostHog.com
Same website, just with bigger words. It makes us more approachable to the suits.
Find it under the Account menu (top right) on the homepage.
Built big things with small teams
Our Data warehouse was built by a team of two. Same with Session replay. And we shipped a Google Analytics replacement with a team of one.
Wrote the ClickHouse manual that other companies use
We literally wrote a ClickHouse manual that other companies use.
Crazy popular with the YC crowd
One of the most adopted products by new YC startups
PostHog for enterprise
We built a page for selling to large enterprises. It is very serious.

It's like a Chia pet, but for hedgehogs. Find it inside PostHog by searching with CMD + K.
DPA generator, featuring a Taylor Swift edition
It's the most fun you've ever had filling out a legal document.
Human-readable privacy policy
A privacy policy that won't put you to sleep. Be sure to check out the Tweet-style summary, too!
Nice things we didn't coerce anyone into saying
Working at PostHog is a truly unique experience, which has probably set me up to hate any other job out there. I get to work on bizarre and challenging projects and no day is ever the same.
Graphics Lead
I hate how much I enjoy working at PostHog. It has ruined all other companies for me. Thanks a lot.
Generic Exec Person
I wake up so excited to get to work that sometimes I pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming. The combination of high expectations, high trust, high autonomy, and high reward is so unique and drives me to improve every day.
Engineer exec for anecdotes
PostHog enables me to do my best work. I am autonomous, empowered to do what I think is best, and truly on the maker schedule.
Technical Content Marketer
We take autonomy seriously. It's not the perfect fit for everyone, but for someone like me who has strong opinions and likes to make her own decisions, PostHog is an incredible place to be.
