PostHog is hiring an Artist in Residence to use illustration and graphic design to spark joy and add personality to our brand. You’ll be the person who brings humor and wit to our work, focusing on creating art, responding to briefs, and collaborating directly with our design team.

What You'll Do

Draw and animate hedgehogs and other characters for newsletters, ads, and social media.
Create art that matches our current brand style and collaborate closely with our existing designer.
Work collaboratively, quickly, and imaginatively on varied briefs from memes to diagrams.
Design cool merchandise like t-shirts and mugs that people want to wear.
Push our brand, find new opportunities to spark joy through design, and keep things weird.
Use AI as part of your workflow where it makes sense, but not as a primary design tool.

What We're Looking For

The ability to draw in our existing style and a strong portfolio.
The ability to take creative feedback and iterate quickly.
Experience creating animated digital assets such as GIFs.

Team & Environment

You will join the Comms team and report to Joe Martin. PostHog emphasizes transparency with a public handbook and shared internal context, autonomy to choose work based on impact and interest, shipping fast with small efficient teams, async-first heads-down building time, ambition to solve big problems, and being weird as a competitive advantage.
