About PostHog

PostHog helps engineers build better products. We are a single platform to analyze, test, observe, and deploy new features. We give engineers product analytics, session recording, feature flags, A/B testing, event pipelines, SQL access, and a data warehouse… and there’s plenty more to come.

PostHog was created as an open-source project during 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, more than 50,000 companies have installed the platform. We've had huge success with our paid upgrades, raised $27m from some of the world's top investors, and have shown strong product-led growth - 97% driven by word of mouth. 

Despite the 📉 tech market, we're default alive and doing better than ever! We average 10% monthly revenue growth and are on track for $10m ARR in early 2024. While others are focused on layoffs and struggling to grow into huge valuations, we're focusing on building an awesome product for end users, hiring a handful of exceptional team members, and seeing fantastic growth as a result.

What we value

• We are open source - building a huge community around a free-for-life product is key to PostHog's strategy.

• We aim to become the most transparent 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 (or even let go of) people, what our strategy is, and who we have raised money from. We also have regular team-wide feedback sessions, where we share honest feedback with each other.

• Working autonomously and maximizing impact - we don’t tell anyone what to do. Everyone chooses what to work on next based on what is going to have the biggest impact on our customers.

• Solve big problems -we haven't built our defining feature yet. We are all about acting fast, innovating, and iterating.

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for a security-focused Site Reliability Engineer to join our Infrastructure team in scaling the foundations of our highly available and flexible cloud platform that PostHog runs on. At the core you will be part of the team responsible for maintaining our AWS/Kubernetes-based infrastructure and making sure it scales to the next 10x milestone.

This isn't someone who walks around telling people to change their passwords regularly. You see security and compliance as a feature of the platform rather than a checkbox to be filled, developing novel solutions that keep engineers moving fast, yet saf
