- We expect that you will co-elevate your teammates and they should do the same for you
- You will leverage your background for our teams effort to design, implement, and maintain high quality data and software systems
- Your expertise will help the team build a strong data backbone that is resilient to noise and smoothly handles changes in upstream information, and going beyond this to help drive changes in upstream software systems when they make sense
- Build and maintain software and data pipelines across our backend and data orchestration systems. Both for data engineering and other software supporting our Go To Market (GTM) team
- Design and build data architecture spanning a wide range of complex data, balancing ease of interpretability with cost
- Create and maintain foundational datasets to support analytics, modeling, experimentation, and product/business needs
- Collaborate with, teach, and learn from Engineers on Revenue Infrastructure and across the wider organization
- Work with Finance and Data Science to ensure we are building the right things in ways people can understand
- Participate in team on-call rotation to improve our systems and keep them healthy
- Build valuable testing and alerting to help maintain our data hygiene
- Write internal technical documentation for the systems that you design, build and maintain, as well as fill gaps in existing documentation
Our take
Understanding customer behaviour is a vital part of any business. Mixpanel allows companies to answer detailed questions about their customer's behaviour over web and mobile applications. Google has struggled to modernize its somewhat clunky analytics platform in recent years, allowing Mixpanel to become an industry leader in the space.
Technology VC firm Sequoia Capital has backed the company, demonstrating its significant growth potential. Mixpanel CEO Max Levchin was also a previous co-founder of Paypal, which may have helped the company facilitate a tie-up with Paypal-owned Venmo early on. Mixpanel now serves thousands of companies from different industries around the world, including Expedia, Uber, Ancestry, DocuSign, and Lemonade.
The company serves 7,700+ customers across its seven global offices. In line with its global expansion efforts, the company has aimed to enhance localized data, helping its clients tailor their offerings to customers in the right way and at precisely the right time. Mixpanel has also focused on expanding its integrations, being available on more platforms such as Google Cloud Marketplace.
