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, and have shown strong product-led growth - 97% driven by word of mouth.Why we're hiring for this roleWe have a community of over 30k+ developers using PostHog, mostly using our open source or paid products, plus a 2,500+ Slack community and 8,000+ GitHub stars.

We usually hire for all three teams, and will decide where people’s backgrounds work the best. We also move people across teams at least once a year, to make sure they get to work on different problems and learn new skills.</li><li>We work on a two week sprint basis and we give everyone in the team the opportunity to suggest what they want to build, in order to have the biggest impact on our customers. Everyone chooses what they want to focus on, and they are responsible for tests, user feedback, and tracking.</li><li>You will be working directly with our customers - we have a weekly support hero, who is in charge of all customer questions and inquiries. We also have a customer slack group and we receive a lot of Pull Requests from users every week.</li><li>The technical challenge is designing a highly scalable product right out of the box when deployed on premise, supporting a wide breadth of features that give users superpowers, and enabling an ecosystem of contributors and plugins from anyone in the world so PostHog becomes a true platform.</li></ul>What we value:<ul><li>We are open source - building a huge community around a free-for-life product is key to PostHog's strategy.</li><li>We aim to become the most transparent company, ever.
