We use a mixture of Node.JS and Rust for high-throughput processing. We store most of our data in Kafka, PostgreSQL, Clickhouse, S3, and Redis, but with the growing volume of data, we're constantly re-evaluating our technological choices. We're looking for someone who understands the principles of designing distributed systems and can use them to pick the best tools for the job.
You'll help build PostHog's observability suite: Logs (live and growing fast), Traces (in alpha), and Metrics (landing soon); the products that let our customers, and their AI agents, understand, debug, and self-heal their own software.
This is the foundation for self-driving, self-healing products, and we're building most of it from scratch.
The core challenge is easy to say and hard to do: ingest, store, and retrieve enormous volumes of telemetry; fast, reliably, and cost-effectively. Getting data in is the easy half; getting it back out efficiently at petabyte scale, without melting the infra bill, is the real game. We're already handling terabytes of data and it's growing!
You won't be maintaining a corner of someone else's system. You'll own a product area end-to-end, taking it from alpha -> beta -> GA, making the architecture calls, and shipping in the hot path where your code decides whether customers have a good day. You'll work across all three products and go deep on one.
If this sounds like you, we should talk.
We are committed to ensuring a fair and accessible interview process.…

PostHog helps engineers build better products. We provide everything they need to make sure they are building something that people want. This means - product analytics, session replays, feedback tools, feature flags, experimentation, LLM observability, and a data warehouse (with SQL) with one click data imports from the places you use. We've been averaging ~10% monthly revenue growth, we are [default alive](http://www.paulgraham.com/aord.html), 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.
