• You'll be the person who, with Lottie, uses illustration (and graphic design) to spark joy and add more personality to our brand.
• It will be up to you to add personality, humor, and wit to our work.
• Illustrations must be within the same style and tone as what we have currently, but this still allows for a lot of creative freedom and exploration.
• This job is open to anyone who has a talent for drawing characters, and no real formal experience is needed.
• What we are looking for is a passion for creativity and a get-up-and-go attitude.
• You'll be focusing on directly doing creative work and responding to briefs, as well as collaborating with our other designers.
• You don't need to have experience in graphic design, but you do need to have an understanding of our style, good taste, and a killer portfolio.

What you’ll be doing

• Drawing and animating hedgehogs (and more).
• We already have a brand that people love, now we want to do more with it. You’ll be hands-on and will create art for newsletters, ads, social, and more. You’ll match our current style, work closely with our existing designer to elevate each others’ work, and stop design from becoming a blocker.
• Working collaboratively, quickly, and imaginatively.
• Design at PostHog is scrappy, and briefs come from everywhere. One day it’s memes for social, the next it’s diagrams for a newsletter. You’ll need to switch gears easily and work well with non-designers.
• Designing cool merch that people actually want to wear.
• Our merch is surprisingly popular and works best when it’s design-led. You’ll be comfortable designing everything from t-shirts and mugs to lawnmowers and newspapers — and that’s just for starters.
• Pushing our brand and keeping things weird.
• You’ll have lots of opportunities to contribute across the business. You’ll find new opportunities to spark joy through design and will work closely with our existing designer (and others) to achieve them.
• Using AI where it makes sense (but not as a primary tool)
• We’re still figuring out how to use AI within design. We know it can help us go faster, but we want to retain the human touch. 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 won't be doing❌ Focusing on high-level creative direction, rebrands or product design❌ Relying on AI as your main design tool to create assets❌ Getting crystal-clear briefsRequirements

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

Nice to have

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

Not required

• Devtool experience (or much formal experience at all)
• A long résumé (a good portfolio and attitude is more important)
