UX Engineer

PostHog is the only platform that acts like a co-pilot for you (and your AI agents) to do it all – autonomously. We started with open-source product analytics, launched out of Y Combinator's W20 cohort. We've since shipped more than a dozen products, including PostHog Code, a built-in data warehouse, and PostHog AI.

We are product-led, default alive, and well-funded. We've raised more than $180m from some of the world's top investors.

• Polishing the Diamond: You’ll be the owner of quality, identifying and fixing those "small" UX papercuts that make the difference between a tool and a craft.
• Building Complex UI Components: You’ll be diving deep into interesting technical challenges like building a custom Taxonomic filter, a sophisticated Date-Time picker, and expanding our new component library.
• Create a Design system: You hate technical debt and you get the chance to create components that other developers can use without needing a manual.
• Shipping with AI: You’ll use AI tools to augment your workflow, allowing you to step into the backend when needed or automate the mundane so you can focus on the "ambitious stuff."
• Iterating Quickly: You'll live in a tight feedback loop, prioritizing the user experience above all else.

• You know React inside and out (Next.js or Remix experience is great).
• You are a Tailwind CSS wizard and understand browser support quirks like the back of your hand.
• You have a portfolio, Twitter, or Dribbble that proves you can build beautiful things. You can articulate exactly why one design works better than another.
• You speak 'Designer intuition' and understand typography, whitespace, visual hierarchy, and color theory.
• You speak Developer Logic: understanding the DOM, component lifecycles, and performance constraints.
• You know how to leverage AI (Claude, Cursor, etc.) to punch way above your weight class.

• 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.
• 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.
• Shipping fast: We've built the company around small teams – autonomous, highly-efficient groups of cracked engineers who can outship much larger companies because they own their products end-to-end.
• Time for building: We're a natively remote company. We default to async communication – PRs > Issues > Slack. Tuesdays and Thursdays are meeting-free days.
• Ambition: We want to solve big problems.
• Being weird: Doing weird stuff is a competitive advantage. And it's fun.
