About PostHog
PostHog is an open-source product analytics platform. We provide product-led teams with everything they need to understand user behaviour, including funnels, session recording, user paths, multivariate testing, feature flags, heat maps, and more. PostHog can be deployed to the cloud, or self-hosted on existing infrastructure, removing the need to send data externally.
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 10,000 companies have installed the platform, we've had huge success with our paid upgrades, and we have raised $27m from some of the world's top investors.
About the role
PostHog is looking for a creative and experienced Site Reliability Engineer to join our Platform team, with members who drove infrastructure at Uber, Facebook, Twitter, and Slack.
We are actively investing in extending our deployment platform to make it easier to install and operate our stack wherever our customers need to run us. If you are interested in automating how we operate a data warehouse that runs anywhere and everywhere, this could be a great role for you.
What we value
We are open source - building a huge community around a free-for-life product is key to our 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.
We're an all-remote company and writing things down is hugely important to us. We use asynchronous communication to reduce time spent in meetings. We are structured for speed and autonomy - we are all about acting fast, innovating and iterating.
We are a global remote working company, which allows us to hire amazing people from all over the world, and foster an inclusive culture.
Why we need you
We are investing heavily in making PostHog the go-to data and product analytics application if you want to control the data yourself in your own cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure etc.). We have already invested several developer years in building a scalable Helm Chart but we need your help in scaling it even further.
You will also be responsible - with the rest of the team of course - for scaling the components within the helm chart. Things like ClickHouse, Kafka, Zookeeper, Postgres, Redis, and PostHog services.
What you'll bring
If this sounds like what you'd love to be doing, we can't wait to hear from you. If you're not sure that you exactly fit the above criteria, get in touch anyway. Alignment with our values is just as important as experience!
