Who we're looking for
We want to build a YouTube channel that people subscribe to because it's genuinely useful and entertaining, whether they're PostHog users or not.
To do so, we're looking for developers who love teaching. People who are obsessed with what's new, what's interesting, and sharing their knowledge with our audience of product engineers, startup founders, and builders.
You could be a Dev Advocate or DevRel engineer who loves video, or a software developer who makes videos on the side and wants to do it full time. Whatever your background, you need to be opinionated about what makes great content for developers.
This means you need to be technical. You'll either have worked as a software developer, or be the kind of person who likes building apps and websites in their spare time for the fun of it.
Why is this exciting? Three reasons:
You're joining a new team at a company that's blowing up. You'll get to define what we do.
We care about quality – we're not interested in building a content mill of AI slop.
You'll be joining a team of world-class videographers, video editors and writers who you can learn from.
What you'll be doing
Ultimately, you'll decide, but interested in tutorials and demos like this one, but way better, and guides about how to get the most out of popular developers tools, like:
We also want to turn existing blogs and newsletters into videos, like 8 learnings from 1 year of agents and Non-obvious pricing advice for startups, and share the lessons of PostHog's product engineers into interesting, shareable short and long-form content.
This means you'll be:
Scripting, presenting, and editing video content for a developer audience
Originating your own content ideas and adapting existing content into a video form
Talking to PostHog product engineers about their work as inspiration for videos
Educating developers on the latest trends (e.g. new tools, best practices, using AI)
Teaching developers how they can use PostHog to achieve their goals
Owning all the creative elements of your videos (e.g. titles, thumbnails, descriptions)
Analyzing video and channel performance to understand what works and why
You WILL NOT be:
Running, attending or presenting at conferences. This primarily a video content focused role
Working on documentation or sales enablement content. We have other teams doing this
Requirements
Strong engineering skills. This means being able to ship full stack apps and familiarity with JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, and popular frontend frameworks.
Good writing and presentation skills. You need to enjoy presenting and be a solid writer who can write their own scripts, and edit and give useful feedback on people's work.
Be an early adopter. We're looking for people who love tinkering with new tools, models, and frameworks, learning them inside out, and sharing what you learn.
Competent with video editing tools. We have editors you can work with and level up your work, but you should be able to ship a video end-to-end when needed.
Can shoot at home. We're a remote company, so you need to be able to shoot videos from your home. We'll provide all the equipment to do this if you don't already have it.
Active in developer communities. We're looking for active participants in developer communities, be that in Discords, Twitch streams, subreddits, or social media.
We are committed to ensuring a fair and accessible interview process. If you need any accommodations or adjustments, please let us know
