- As a Senior Analytics Engineer, you'll lead initiatives to clean and own product utilization pipelines, enhance customer data platform (CDP) infrastructure, and reduce operational friction across teams by enabling self-serve analytics. This is a high-impact role with the opportunity to shape Mixpanel’s analytics function over the next several quarters and beyond

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.
