Community Engineer 🔥
PostHog is an open-source product analytics platform. We provide product-led teams with everything they need to understand user behaviour, including funnels, session recordings, user paths, multivariate testing and more. PostHog can be deployed to the cloud, or self-hosted on existing infrastructure, removing the need to send data externally.
We started PostHog as part of Y Combinator’s W20 cohort and had the most successful B2B software launch on HackerNews since 2012 – with a product that was just 4 weeks old. Since then, we raised $27m from some of the world’s top investors [1], grew the team to over 30 and have shown strong product-led growth.
We’re now looking for a Community Engineer to join the Website and Docs team [2]. We have a community of over 20k+ developers using PostHog, mostly on the open source product, plus a 1,000+ Slack community and over 7,000 GitHub stars. And all of these numbers are going up, fast. We have an unusually well-known brand in open source for such a young company, and this is an opportunity to be the first dedicated Community hire here – you’ll have a ton of influence.
What you’ll be doing:
- Growth hacking to make our community self-sustaining, e.g. website Q&A and other tools we haven’t thought of yet
- Add features to the website that enhance community, like profiles, badges etc.
- Improve the Docs themselves – make them world class
- Be one of the faces of PostHog in the community, understanding their needs and building solutions for them
What we value:
- We are open source [3] – building a huge community around a free-for-life product is key to our strategy.
- We aim to become _the_ most transparent [4] company, ever. In order to enable teams to make great decisions, we share as much information as we can. In our public handbook _everyone_ can read about our roadmap, how we pay people, what our strategy is, and who we have raised money from. We also have regular team-wide feedback sessions [5], where we share honest feedback with each other.
- We’re an all-remote company and writing things down is hugely important to us. We use asynchronous communication [6] to reduce time spent in meetings. We are structured for speed and autonomy – we are all about acting fast, innovating and iterating [7].
- We are a #LI-remote company, which allows us to hire amazing people from all over the world, and foster an inclusive culture.
