About PostHog

PostHog is an open-source product analytics platform. We provide product-led teams with everything they need to understand user behavior, 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, 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! We've been averaging >20% monthly revenue growth, we are default alive, and we didn't raised a huge / now-overpriced round in 2021. 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.

Job Summary

You'll be the person who, with Lottie , uses illustration and graphic design to spark joy and add more personality to our brand. It will be up to you to add personality, humor, and wit to our work. Illustrations must be within the same style and tone as what we have currently, but this still allows for a lot of creative freedom and exploration. What we are looking for is a passion for creativity and a get-up-and-go attitude. You'll be focusing on directly doing creative work and responding to briefs, as well as collaborating with our other designers. Having a basic understanding of graphic design is preferred and strong skills in illustration is a must. Understanding our style, having good taste, and a killer portfolio are also key for this role.

What you’ll be doing

Drawing hedgehogs (and more). We already have a brand that people love, now we want to do more with it. You’ll be hands-on and will create art for anything from newsletters and adverts to event branding and merchandise. You’ll match our current style, work closely with our existing designer to elevate each others’ work, and stop design from becoming a blocker at PostHog.

Working collaboratively, quickly, and imaginatively. Design at PostHog is scrappy, and briefs come from everywhere. One day it’s memes for social media, the next it’s diagrams for a newsletter. You’ll need to switch gears easily and work well with non-designers.

Designing cool merch that people actually want to wear. Our merch is surprisingly popular and works best when it’s design-led. You’ll be comfortable designing everything from t-shirts and mugs to lawnmowers and newspapers — and that’s just for starters.

Pushing our brand and keeping things weird. You’ll have lots of opportunities to contribute across the business. You’ll find new opportunities to spark joy through design and will work closely with our existing designer (and others) to achieve them.

Using AI where it makes sense (but not as a primary tool) We’re still figuring out how to use AI within design. We know it can help us go faster, but we want to retain the human touch. You’ll be comfortable using AI as part of your workflow, but you won’t rely on it as your primary design tool.

What you won't be doing

❌ Focusing on high-level creative direction, rebrands or product design ❌ Relying on AI as your main design tool to create assets ❌ Getting crystal-clear briefs

Requirements

Ability to draw in our existing style

A strong portfolio

Ability to take creative feedback and iterate quickly

Have skills in both illustration and graphic design

Nice to have

Experience with Fresco/Procreate and Figma

Experience using AI to accelerate your workflow

Not required

Devtool experience (or much formal experience at all) A long résumé (a good portfolio and attitude is more important)

Technology

React, Django, Clickhouse and more .
