||
For the first time _ever_ we are looking to hire 3 interns at PostHog. We very, very rarely hire people with no experience so this is a huge opportunity to join a genuinely world class tech team at a company that is rocketing in growth. | ||
|
||
Competition will be fierce, this is how to get a spot. | ||
|
||
## Criteria | ||
|
||
* You must have less than 1 year of professional experience as a software developer (!) | ||
* You must be based between GMT+2 to GMT-8 | ||
|
||
## The competition | ||
|
||
Between today and the 30th of September, we are looking for the best new product to be built into PostHog. | ||
|
||
You can build _whatever_ you want. We have plenty of public info in terms of what we care about. | ||
|
||
We are looking for: | ||
|
||
* products we could actually ship to real users (our strategy: ["to provide every tool needed to build successful products"](https://posthog.com/handbook/why-does-posthog-exist#provide-every-tool-needed-to-build-successful-products)) | ||
* things that have an impressive amount of scope | ||
|
||
Go nuts - build a CRM, build a customer support, or something else. | ||
|
||
## Rules | ||
|
||
* We will offer up to the best 3 submissions a (well paid) internship at PostHog and $25K (USD) | ||
* You need to accept the intership to receive the cash prize. The internship will be well paid. | ||
* If we don't get any good submissions, we may award no one, but think that's very unlikely | ||
* We own your work - we may even choose to ship your prouct for real. | ||
* You must tell us roughly how much work you put into it to the nearest half a day | ||
* You must publish your work as a fork of [PostHog](https://github.com/PostHog/posthog). | ||
|
||

|
||
## The internship | ||
|
||
* We will have you do 3 months of paid work with us. We'll pay you in line with a junior role on our public pay calculator. | ||
* We will interview you ahead of accepting you as an intern. | ||
* If you are successful, we will extend a full time offer to you to join as a full stack engineer afterwards. | ||
|
||
## Submission | ||
|
||
* Please create a PR to the PostHog main repo (github.com/posthog/posthog) with your submission by midnight the 30th of September. | ||
* Please also send us your resumé and/or LinkedIn profile | ||
* You _must_ include a loom video talking us through what you built | ||

Honestly $25k is ludicrous, already $10k – in addition to the internship – would be amazing

i'm surprised (which is great) and felt maybe this was under generous, ie "fuck i need to build an entire product to have a shot at this".
how would you react were you 18 and applying right now? I'm really curious.

Coming back to this: I think I'd give this a shot if I were about to finish the school year, or have just started summer break. I wouldn't start it in August or September, just because of time constraints. So I think we should get back to this at the end of spring, and give it a serious shot then
