PostHog | Full-Time | Distributed systems engineer lead, full stack and ex technical founder engineers | Remote (all remote) | Hiring GMT-8 to GMT+1
PostHog helps engineers build better products. we launched on HN during a YC batch in 2020 and have been growing very fast ever since.
* open source, building a dev tool. We have a public handbook (posthog.com/handbook) if you want to learn how we work, pay and more in complete detail.
* we are a real business... nearly at $10M ARR / profitability in sight / lots of capital
* we are growing through more autonomy and transparency not through process.
* we are under a ton of pipeline pressure due to how much we've grown usage (~5x per year at the moment) - we need help rewriting our ingestion for the next 2 years of scale whilst dealing with 1 million events/minute being ingested. this will be very hard, but it is the _biggest_ challenge our company faces. revenue and growth are coming easily.
* goal is to build a company worth $10s of billions, by building wide first (we are the all in one platform with lots of tools) then going upmarket way later (similar product and go to market to Atlassian). we grow entirely through word of mouth and content marketing, not from outbound sales.
* we need: a distributed systems engineer to lead our pipeline team. you'll be working alongside experienced people who've worked at places like datadog/meta/twitter in this small team (currently 4 people).
* we are also hiring: ex technical founders and front-end oriented full stack engineers!
> goal is to build a company worth $10s of billions
As a potential applicant for one of your positions, I gotta say I find this a rather uninspiring company mission. On the other hand, I do appreciate the honesty.
The website can be more transparent. The careers page say "we're hiring all over the world." when in fact you're looking for people within 9 hour timezone.
Also, the about page says "We're a team of 35 from all over the world."
