AI Product Engineer

• Built-in Data Warehouse – Query product and customer data together using custom SQL insights.
  
  
• Customer Data Platform – Easily send your data wherever you need it.
  
  
• PostHog AI – An AI-powered analyst that answers product questions, finds session recordings, and writes custom SQL queries.
  
  

• Product-led: 100,000+ companies have installed PostHog, mostly through word-of-mouth.
  
  
• Default alive: Revenue grows ~10% MoM; we raise funds to accelerate growth, not survive.
  
  
• Well-funded: $100M+ raised from top global investors, enabling a long, ambitious journey.
  
  

Why Work Here?

• Transparency: Public handbook shares roadmap, pay, strategy, and operations. Internally, revenue, board notes, and fundraising plans are fully visible.
  
  
• Autonomy: You choose what to work on based on impact and interest. Engineers lead product teams and make decisions.
  
  
• Shipping Fast: Small, autonomous teams ship end-to-end products faster than larger companies.
  
  
• Time for Building: Meetings are minimized. Tuesdays & Thursdays are meeting-free. Async communication (PRs > Issues > Slack) is the default.
  
  
• Ambition & Fun: Solve big problems, experiment boldly, and embrace creativity.
