Remote GMT -8 to +2 | (i) Technical Writer (ii) Senior Developer | Full Time | Salaries all visible at posthog.com/handbook/compensation (location-dependent)

https://posthog.com - see handbook at posthog.com/handbook

Open source, 6x rev growth last year, heading for profitability soon, well paid experienced team of 37 today, 25k customers across free + paid products, 65k developers in community, 0 outbound sales - all inbound growth. Didn't raise a 2021 overpriced round - real (potential!) upside.

* Technical writer *

Looking to hire a developer who loves to write. We aim for each piece we produce to be the best on the internet for that topic.

Content marketing is huge for us - writing deep technical content is what we want! You'd be on our (small) marketing team, making a huge impact.

Previous blogging (especially personal/interesting!) and a few years of development experience needed.

If interested, james at posthog.com and charles at posthog.com for a chat.

* Full stack developer *

We are looking for someone to build the next generation of our analytics backbone. You'll be working on ClickHouse and Python to make sure all our queries are web scale and users are happy.

You will (probably) help us build HogQL https://github.com/PostHog/meta/issues/86 (our own wrapper around ClickHouse SQL), or whatever else you think makes sense to prioritize. We work in small teams of up to 6, and you'll have a lot of trust to pick what to work on.

You need experience building high performance data systems, must be an expert at Django with deep SQL/database skills. Ideally, but optionally, you'd have worked in a high growth SaaS company / analytics product and have extensive experience with TypeScript-based React. We need someone ideally that has both worked in a very scrappy / early stage way _and_ ideally has seen a company scale.

This work will potentially extend into providing a full warehouse to our customers. It's a chance to work on the next Snowflake, but open source and product led, working with new companies from day 1 and staying with them as they scale - so get here in the first 40 employees before we are 100x the size.

If interested, james at posthog.com + careers at posthog.com and please mention you saw us on HN.

Hookdeck (https://hookdeck.com) | Product Eng, Growth Eng, Backend Eng | Full-Time | Remote (World)

Hookdeck is an infrastructure to consume webhooks simply & reliably. Incoming webhooks are challenging because they require a well-built (and often complex) asynchronous system. We help developers spend less building and troubleshooting issues with their webhooks to focus on their products instead. We offer a complete infrastructure to develop, test, receive, distribute and monitor webhooks and asynchronous events.

If you are looking to be part of a early stage team, fully leverage your knowledge & talent, have an impact on the product experience and implement features from scratch then this might be for you!

We are offering competitive compensation, generous stock options and liberty over your geo & schedule.

We are looking forward to hearing from you! Email me at [email protected]

Shameless plug: if you like the development experience of webhooks at Stripe we offer the same experience on our platform at https://hookdeck.com/ which you can drop in to help you add reliability and a better developer experience to receiving webhooks from anywhere.

This is a fantastic resource! Thank you to the folks at ngrok for putting this together! As this site makes clear: webhooks are harder than they appear. Even just consuming webhooks it's easy to get bogged down dealing with issues around rate limits or recovering from bugs that cause missed events! Missed events being particularly painful with platforms that don't offer replay / retry.

Disclaimer: I work at https://hookdeck.com/ & I shamelessly plug our tool for giving you an awesome developer experience working with webhooks and helping deal with some of the concerns brought up on webhooks.fyi.

And if you are interested in webhooks at large a couple more resources worth checking out is the awesome-webhooks[1] list and the r/webhooks[2] subreddit (I just got ownership of the sub and started dusting it off this week after being neglected for the past few years! Please, come join!)

and then went throught the codebase: https://github.com/hookdeck/hookdeck-cli

Might I recommend Hookdeck as well?

Very very useful for handling webhooks and making working with them including locally a pleasure.
