    Job description

    About Mixpanel

    Mixpanel is the leading product intelligence and analytics platform, trusted by more than 29,000 companies to help understand how people use the products they build. By combining powerful analytics with AI that knows your business, Mixpanel helps teams see what’s working, diagnose what’s not, and decide what to build next. Learn more at mixpanel.com.

    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

    Example Projects You Might Work On
