* we have a ton of scale and a bunch of super interesting technical problems to solve
* we're building 20 more products over the next couple of years, so you could end up building one of those

As someone who has been preaching product engineer role for years, I would love to actually get a human response from PostHog one day and interview. either way, glad you all do so much work to spread the word about product engineer role
Regarding the applied product engineer role, will you consider hiring a contractor from China?
It says "Remote (US, UK, EMEA)" so the answer is no
Yeah, just saw they hire someone from other countries as contractor.

I applied to your support engineer role. :)
What is "Technical AE", I wonder?

Please help me with ClickHouse.
lol cheeky reply aside (I lead the ClickHouse team here at PostHog). We have two of the largest self hosted ClickHouse clusters out there (and growing rapidly) each with Petabytes of data. We are working on really interesting solutions to problems that we would love to open source for the broader CH ecosystem:
- Declarative, cluster aware migrations
- Iceberg and S3 backed merge tree's on ClickHouse (as performant as local MergeTrees)
- ClickHouse on K8s, but on Metal instances w/ NVMe used for caching and compaction.
- Load shedding query scheduler and eventually query optimizer
We have a broad charter when it comes to ClickHouse. It's one of the things that enables us to build so many products that share the same underlying data and context. Our goal is to enable all developers at PostHog to continue building these products quickly as the team and user-base scales.
It's honestly an exciting time to be working at this company and on the beating heart of what drives it. Chat with me if you have any questions!
You got this, best of luck! Engineers with ClickHouse knowledge are def in short supply right now.
To job seekers, this is your sign. Learn about how ClickHouse works. If you know SQL, you're halfway there. The other half is learning ClickHouse's data storage model which is what gives it it's efficiency.

I pray to Alexey every day.
Applied for the Product Engineer role. Just give me a shot at the interviews. I won't disappoint :)
