PostHog · European Union, Deutschland · Remote
Details zum Jobangebot
Help us to increase the number of successful products in the world!
PostHog helps engineers build better products. We are a single platform to analyze, test, observe, and deploy new features. We give engineers product analytics, session recording, feature flags, A/B testing, event pipelines, SQL access, and a data warehouse… and there’s plenty more to come.
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 35,000 companies have installed the platform. We've had huge success with our paid upgrades, raised $27m from some of the world's top investors, and have shown strong product-led growth - 97% driven by word of mouth.
Despite the ?? tech market, we're default alive and doing better than ever!
PostHog makes money from our cloud product, or people can self host the open source project. We average 10% monthly revenue growth and are aiming for $10m ARR in early 2024. While others are focused on layoffs and struggling to grow into huge valuations, we're focusing on an awesome product for end users, hiring a handful of exceptional team members and seeing fantastic increases in revenue as a result.
What We Value
To put it simply, we’re looking for a Support Engineer who loves talking to customers and helping them solve their problems. Answering tickets is important, but we want someone who can also build out our support tooling at the same time.
You’ll be the face of PostHog for many of our customers, so you’ll need to be extremely helpful and engaging. This isn’t a support agent role - you’ll be resolving most issues directly yourself, and only escalating the more complex ones directly to the relevant engineering team.
Please note: we are only considering people in GMT +2:00 to -5:00 timezones for this particular role!
What You’ll Be Doing
? Acting solely as a first line support agent - we expect you to be able to diagnose and fix issues themselves, escalating to the appropriate team when development work is needed.
Requirements
Also, 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!
Benefits
What we offer in return:
We believe people from diverse backgrounds, with different identities and experiences, make our product and our company better. That’s why we dedicated a page in our handbook to diversity and inclusion. No matter your background, we'd love to hear from you!
Also, 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!

What We Value
- We are open source - building a huge community around a free-for-life product is key to PostHog's strategy.
- We aim to become the most transparent company, ever. In order to enable teams to make great decisions, we share as much information as we can. In our public handbook everyone can read about our roadmap, how we pay (or even let go of) people, what our strategy is, and who we have raised money from.
- Working autonomously and maximizing impact - we don’t tell anyone what to do. Everyone chooses what to work on next based on what is going to have the biggest impact on our customers.
- Solve big problems - we haven't built our defining feature yet. We are all about shipping fast, talking to users, and iterating.
