Company profile
PostHog builds an open-source product analytics suite covering events, feature flags, session replay, experiments, surveys, and data warehouse tools. Interviews are direct and founder-like, with emphasis on written judgement, shipping velocity, product intuition, and comfort working in public.
As a analytics startup of around 120 people, PostHog is at the size where founders and early team members usually interview candidates themselves, and practical exercises tend to matter more than formal rubrics. Depth in one relevant area typically counts for more than broad coverage at this stage. See the role pages below for what backend engineer, database engineer, developer relations engineer candidates usually prepare.
PostHog hires across several engineering and product functions, and the loop shifts with each one. Open a role for the reported questions, the round-by-round focus, and a salary band for that function.
