Artist in Residence

Join PostHog: Unleash Your Creative Illustration Prowess! (Remote)

Are you a talented illustrator with a passion for injecting personality and humor into brands? Do you dream of increasing the number of successful products in the world? PostHog is looking for a creative individual to join our globally distributed, fully remote team! We’re building the operating system for product builders, and we need your artistic touch to elevate our brand.

About PostHog: The Product-Led Revolution

We’re not just building software; we’re building a platform that empowers companies from day one to IPO and beyond. With over 100,000 installations, driven by word-of-mouth, we’re a product-led company with incredibly strong product-market fit. Backed by over $100m from top investors and growing at 10% MoM, we’re set up for a long and ambitious journey. We focus on building awesome product for end users, hiring exceptional teammates, shipping fast, and being as weird as possible. We’re not afraid to be different, and we encourage you to embrace your own unique style!

Your Mission: Infuse Joy and Personality Through Illustration

As our Illustrator, you’ll be the creative force behind bringing our brand to life through engaging visuals. You’ll collaborate with our existing design team to create illustrations and animations that resonate with our audience and reinforce our brand identity. You will draw and animate hedgehogs (and more!).

• Drawing and animating hedgehogs (and more): You’ll be hands-on and will create art for newsletters, ads, social, and more.
• Working collaboratively, quickly, and imaginatively: You’ll need to switch gears easily and work well with non-designers.
• Designing cool merch: You’ll be comfortable designing everything from t-shirts and mugs to lawnmowers and newspapers.
• Pushing our brand and keeping things weird: You’ll have lots of opportunities to contribute across the business.
• Using AI where it makes sense: 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’ll Bring to the Table

We’re looking for someone with:

• Proven ability to draw in our existing style (portfolio is key!)
• A strong portfolio showcasing your illustration skills
• Ability to take creative feedback and iterate quickly
• Experience creating animated digital assets such as GIFs

Bonus points if you have:

• Experience in graphic design
• Experience with Procreate and Figma
• Experience using AI to accelerate your workflow

What You Won’t Be Doing

This role is focused on hands-on illustration and animation. You won’t be:

• 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
