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 rolePostHog 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.
