About The Role
Data governance is one of the most critical challenges for Mixpanel's enterprise customers, and the AI era turns it into a foundational problem. Analytics and agents are only as trustworthy as the data beneath them. Poor data quality compounds: incorrect analyses spread as it becomes easier for anyone — or any agent — to query data, and the problem multiplies as customers scale into projects with high-cardinality events and fast-growing user bases. A data foundation that stays clean, consistent, and trusted is what sets Mixpanel apart.
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Data Foundation team, you'll work across the stack to build high-impact features with extreme customer focus. You'll partner closely with engineers across the company, and with Design, Product, and GTM, to solve one of the hardest problems in analytics: keeping data clean, consistent, and trustworthy at scale.
Curious what this looks like in practice? Read why data governance matters for AI-powered analytics on our blog.
What You'll Do
- Build customer-facing features on our web application (React SPA)
- Collaborate closely with engineers and cross-functional partners across Product, Design, GTM, and beyond
- Take full ownership of projects — from shaping and delivery through iteration
We're Looking For Someone Who Has
- Full-stack experience, with deep expertise in at least one of:
- Web application backends (Python, Django)
- High-volume APIs
- Search indexing
- A track record of leading projects end to end, not just executing tickets
- Comfort moving across the stack
Bonus Points For
- Experience with data ingestion (Go)
- A data-driven or metrics-focused approach to decision-making
