  • You've written engaging content for developers.

  • Excellent writing, research, and communication skills.
  • Original, interesting takes on topics developers care about.
  • A genuine love of writing.
Responsibilities
  • Writing informative blog posts and tutorials that attract new developers to PostHog.
  • Improving our documentation and writing guides that solve problems for existing users.
  • Working with our product teams to turn new features into engaging and timely content ideas.
  • Contributing high-quality and opinionated articles to our newsletter, Product for Engineers, which has over 15,000 subscribers.
  • Analyzing how your content performs (using PostHog!) and deciding how to adjust our content strategy accordingly.
  • Choosing your own adventures. We want people who can come up with their own ideas and follow them through.
