- - A suite of analytics and observability tools, including product analytics https://posthog.com/product-analytics, replay vision https://posthog.com/replay-vision, AI observability https://posthog.com/ai-observability, and error tracking https://posthog.com/error-tracking
- - PostHog MCP https://posthog.com/mcp for users and their agents to query and act on their product and business data

About the role
- You'll be PostHog's first in-house video animator, and the creative engine behind everything that moves in our visuals.
- Your work spans product launches, feature trailers, changelogs, social shorts, minidocs, animated ads, GIFs on our website, and even icons inside the PostHog app.
- This isn't a pure motion graphics role as you will also design and illustrate your own assets as well as animate them.

- Taking an animation-only piece from idea and script all the way to delivery on your own
- Making the product look good in motion by recreating and reimagining the PostHog UI in 3D space and animating icons
- Building the toolkit including animated logos, brand elements, lower thirds, transitions, and motion templates
- Working beyond video on motion for ads and campaigns, GIFs and animated icons for the website, and pure illustration work
Requirements
- Advanced skills in After Effects, Illustrator, and Photoshop
- A strong portfolio demonstrating technical excellence, a clear creative point of view, and a wide variety of styles
- Experience illustrating, designing, and animating motion graphics rather than only waiting for files to move
