  • 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.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • The recent $15 million Series B funding round, led by prominent investors like Y Combinator’s Continuity Fund and GV, indicates strong financial backing and growth potential.
  • PostHog's platform versatility and extensive tutorials and guides make it highly adaptable, supporting a wide range of use cases and client needs.
  • The partnership with Altinity Inc. to offer ClickHouse services enhances PostHog's data integration capabilities, providing clients with more robust and flexible solutions.

What critics are saying

  • The absence of a dedicated sales team may limit PostHog's ability to attract and convert larger enterprise clients who expect personalized sales interactions.
  • Relying heavily on a usage-based pricing model could lead to revenue volatility, especially if clients reduce their usage or find more cost-effective alternatives.

What makes PostHog unique

  • PostHog's usage-based pricing model, which decreases exponentially with scale, offers a cost-effective solution that becomes more affordable as clients grow, unlike traditional flat-rate pricing models.
  • The company’s open-source product analytics platform allows for self-hosting, providing clients with greater control over their data compared to competitors who offer only cloud-based solutions.
  • PostHog's decision to operate without a sales team and instead rely on recorded and personalized demos is a unique approach that reduces overhead and focuses on product-led growth.
