The operating system for folks who build software. We started with open-source product analytics, launched out of Y Combinator's W20 cohort [Upgrade to PRO to see link] We've since shipped more than a dozen products [Upgrade to PRO to see link] including: - A built-in data warehouse [Upgrade to PRO to see link] so users can query product and customer data together using custom SQL insights. - A customer data platform [Upgrade to PRO to see link] so they can send their data wherever they need with ease. - PostHog AI [Upgrade to PRO to see link] an AI-powered analyst that answers product questions, helps users find useful session recordings, and writes custom SQL queries. Next on the roadmap are CRM, messaging, revenue analytics, and support products. When we say every product that companies need to run their business, we really mean it! We are: 1. Product-led. More than 100,000 companies have installed PostHog, mostly driven by word-of-mouth. We have intensely strong product-market fit. 2. Default alive [Upgrade to PRO to see link] Revenue is growing 10% MoM on average, and we're very efficient. We raise money to push ambition and grow faster, not to keep the lights on. 3. Well-funded. We've raised more than $100m from some of the world's top investors [Upgrade to PRO to see link] We're set up for a long, ambitious journey. We're focused on building an awesome product for end users, hiring exceptional teammates, shipping fast, and being as weird as possible [Upgrade to PRO to see link] THINGS WE CARE ABOUT - Transparency: Everyone can read about our roadmap, how we pay (or even let go of) people, our strategy, and how we work, in our public company handbook [Upgrade to PRO to see link] Internally, we share revenue, notes and slides from board meetings, and fundraising plans, so everyone has the context they need to make good decisions. - Autonomy: We don’t tell anyone what to do. Everyone chooses what to work on next based on what's going to have the biggest impact on our customers, and what they find interesting and motivating to work on. Engineers lead product teams [Upgrade to PRO to see link] and make product decisions [Upgrade to PRO to see link] Teams are flexible and easy to change when needed. - Shipping fast: Why not now? [Upgrade to PRO to see link] We want to build a lot of products; we can't do that shipping at a normal pace. We've built the company around small teams – autonomous, highly-efficient groups of cracked engineers [Upgrade to PRO to see link] who can outship much larger companies because they own their products end-to-end. - Time for building: Nothing gets shipped in a meeting. We're a natively remote company. We default to async communication – PRs > Issues > Slack. Tuesdays and Thursdays are meeting-free days [Upgrade to PRO to see link] and we prioritize heads down building time over perfect coordination. This will be the most productive job you've ever had. - Ambition: We want to solve big problems. We strongly believe that aiming for the best possible upside, and sometimes missing, is better than never trying. We're optimistic about what's possible and our ability to get there. - Being weird: Weird means redesigning an already world-class website for the 5th time. It means shipping literally every product that relates to customer data. It means building an objectively unnecessary developer toy [Upgrade to PRO to see link] with dubious shareholder value. Doing weird stuff is a competitive advantage. And it's fun. WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR A customer-obsessed person to take care of a large number of our larger customers. You’ll engage with them regularly to ensure their continued retention and growth. You'll need to be incredibly helpful, technical enough to help our customers, and solve real problems without asking a sales engineer for help. No going away and asking an expert by default. You will be the expert! You’re great at building relationships with customers, understanding their priorities, and ensuring they are set up for success both today and in the long term. WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING You’ll be the face of PostHog for anywhere from 25-40 paying customers in the $20k-$100k+ ARR range. Some of these customers will have come through our sales process and be well-known to us, while others will have self-served and never talked to us before! It’ll be your responsibility to ensure that both types of customers stay with us. This means doing things like: - Building relationships with your users. You should know who the key people are at each company, and they should know you. That means running training sessions, reaching out proactively, and digging into technical issues they raise. - Owning their feedback and making sure it gets to the wider PostHog team. - Being super responsive to their Slack messages, support tickets, and emails. - Making sure they get value out of PostHog. You'll help customers use PostHog well and remove friction when they hit it. This also means taking care of the commercials - pricing questions, credit renewals - and human - Being their favorite ever Customer Success person to work with! - Building relationships with the users, so that you know who the key people in each company are. - Owning their feedback and making sure it gets to the wider PostHog team. - Being super responsive to their Slack messages, support tickets, and emails. - Generally being their favorite ever Customer Success person to work with! More broadly, you’ll need to keep an eye on product usage and revenue data to ensure that your customers' health doesn’t move into the red, and be proactive in resolving things if it does. Your aim is to never be surprised when a customer tells us they are leaving. If you want to build automations to help you do your job here, go for it! This role comprises a base salary component, plus a bonus [Upgrade to PRO to see link] for hitting/exceeding customer retention targets. The salary in our compensation calculator is your expected base pay for on-target earnings. WHAT YOU WON’T BE DOING ❌  Taking someone with you to every customer meeting. It’ll normally be you and the customer. Very occasionally you might bring a product engineer with you, e.g. if they are one of our first customers paying for a new product.  ❌  Aggressively pursuing expansion opportunities. This role is primarily focused on retention. REQUIREMENTS - Technically capable. You don't need to be an engineer, but you should be comfortable reading (and sometimes writing) code - SQL, JavaScript, and Python being the most common languages. When a customer hits an issue, you can roll up your sleeves and investigate – debug SDK behavior, understand why feature flag evaluations look off, tracing event ingestion problems – rather than immediately passing it to support. You should also be able to advise on configuration best practices across all PostHog products, how to structure events and properties for their use case, and how to integrate PostHog into their existing stack. - You get how product teams work. You know the roles, how they collaborate, and how they ship features - so you can help them use PostHog to solve real problems. For example, why running experiments matters, how to use product analytics and session replay together to find drop-off points and test fixes, or when error tracking helps teams ship better. - Strong customer focus. You need to help our users and remove any blockers to them using PostHog effectively. - Able to work at scale. You'll have around 40 customers to manage, so you need to prioritize effectively. NICE TO HAVE - Experience working with similar technologies, i.e. developer tools more broadly, or specifically product analytics, session replay, feature flags, A/B testing, data warehouses, or data pipelines. - You’ve been in a Pre-sales or Technical Account Manager role before, bringing both technical expertise and commercial acumen. If you have a disability, please let us know if there's any way we can make the interview process better for you - we're happy to accommodate! #LI-DNI
