General information

Substack is a publishing platform that lets writers create and earn money from their own content. It hosts and distributes newsletters and manages subscriber lists. Writers can also host podcasts and video through the platform. Substack Chat and Notes let readers and writers talk and post short updates. The company is based in San Francisco.

Substack was founded in 2017 by Chris Best, Jairaj Sethi and Hamish McKenzie. By March 2025 it had reached 5 million paid subscriptions, and by October 2025 about 50,000 creators were earning money on the platform. In June 2025 it raised $100 million, valuing the company at $1.1 billion. That funding gives the company room to build tools for writers rather than chase profit right away.

Currently, there's a total of 12 job openings at Substack. Over the last 30 days, 2 jobs were added and 2 were removed (job postings usually stay up ~45 days before being removed). Historically, the median salary is ~$200,000. Substack is an H-1B sponsor.1

  1. 1. Company description. Written by InterviewOS from Substack's public materials and press coverage; facts are checked against the sources below.
  2. 2. Weekly counts. A count is the number of listings the pipeline saw for the first time in that week. Weeks begin Monday; the onboarding week is excluded from the scale and every average.
  3. 3. Live counts. Deduplicated live listings observed daily on Substack's own hiring system; last check September 12, 2026. Stale and syndicated posts on aggregator sites are not counted.
  4. 4. Posted pay. Ranges extracted from the text of Substack's own listings; a range appears only when the employer printed one. Extraction is still rolling out, so this table can lag the board.
