Issues Slack. Tuesdays and Thursdays are meeting-free days, and we prioritize heads down building time over perfect coordination. This will be the most productive job you've ever had.
Ambition: We want to solve big problems. We strongly believe that aiming for the best possible upside, and sometimes missing, is better than never trying. We're optimistic about what's possible and our ability to get there.
Being weird: Weird means redesigning an already world-class website for the 5th time. It means shipping literally every product that relates to customer data. It means building an objectively unnecessary developer toy with dubious shareholder value. Doing weird stuff is a competitive advantage. And it's fun.
Who we're looking for
You'll write copy that tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of engineers might see. Post Hog ads aren't boring. We don't do "unlock growth" or "drive synergies." We do memes, hedgehogs, and surprisingly honest messaging. You get to keep it weird and you'll have creative freedom within a strong brand. We know who we are – you get to figure out how to say it in 90 characters or more, or sometimes less.
Paid ads is a growing channel for us – You'll help shape what it becomes.
What you'll be doing
Writing ads that stand out, but are also candid. Google Search, Linked In, Reddit, and whatever new platform catches our attention. You'll write headlines, descriptions, and variations that get clicks without being clickbait.
Keeping Post Hog weird. One of our favorite headlines is "Data Daddy is here to help". You'll write copy that sounds like us – direct, a little irreverent, genuinely helpful. No corporate jargon. No "leverage your data stack."
Testing and iterating. This isn't "write it and forget it." You'll work with Brian and our growing paid ads team to test variations, learn what works, and make our ads better over time.
Educating and generating demand. Our ads should use humor to convey something useful about analytics, feature flags, session replay, or whatever product we're advertising. The best ad is one where someone learns something, or thinks higher of Post Hog as an overall brand, even if they don't click.
Expanding to new platforms. Tik Tok ads? Podcast sponsorships? Weird newsletter placements? You'll help us figure out what copy works where.
What you won't be doing
Long-form content (blogs, case studies, docs) – we have a content team
Strategy-only work – you'll be hands-on writing, not just planning
Managing the ad platforms themselves – Brian handles campaign management
Requirements
Can write short-form copy that grabs attention (show us your portfolio)
Gets the Post Hog voice – direct, useful, a little weird
You are the driver. We want someone who can generate ideas, not just execute briefs
Comfortable with iteration and testing – no ego about changing copy that isn't working
We are committed to ensuring a fair and accessible interview process. If you need any accommodations or adjustments, please let us know.
