Hi Tim - I applied for the Product Engineer role and got rejected before even reaching the first interview, which honestly surprised me a bit given how closely it seems to match my background.

I have 10+ years of experience across big tech, startups, and open source, from founding-stage ambiguity to production systems at meaningful scale, in stacks that overlap a lot with PostHog's.

Before applying, I spent a few weeks using PostHog, and that turned into 6 merged PRs and 1 more in review. Some came from community discussions where I saw users asking for something useful and others came from friction I hit while using the product myself. I also shared a few additional concrete ideas in my cover letter that I'd be excited to bring to PostHog.

If this feels like a miss worth revisiting, I'd love to chat. (parinporecha@gmail.com)
