About Mixpanel:
Mixpanel is a leading product analytics software company, currently helping the world answer 81 million product questions every year. Our pioneering event-based tracking solution gives product teams the ability to gain insights into how to best acquire, convert, and retain their users across web and mobile platforms.
Powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use, Mixpanel enables teams to learn from their user data and innovate rapidly in creating winning products. Today, we serve nearly 7,000 paying customers through seven offices globally in our quest to provide the most in-depth product analytics that everyone can use and trust.
We are actively recruiting for multiple Software Engineers across different levels for our org!
About the role
Mixpanel is powered by a custom distributed database. This system ingests more than 1 Trillion user-generated events every month while ensuring end-to-end latencies of under a minute and queries typically scan more than 1 Quadrillion events over the span of a month. Over the last year, our inbound traffic has doubled. As our existing customers grow in volume and we add new ones, we expect this growth in traffic to continue. The infrastructure engineering teams are responsible for adding new capabilities and ensuring the smooth operation of the underlying systems.
What you'll do at Mixpanel
Mixpanel's infrastructure runs on Google Cloud Platform. We rely on Kubernetes and Docker for orchestration and containerization of our services. We primarily use Golang for writing services and all internal communication happens via GRPC. We use a combination of C and C++ wherever Golang doesn't meet our performance goals.
As an engineer on the Infrastructure teams, you'll be responsible for:
- Working with other engineers to build distributed systems that can handle data at scale
- Debugging production issues across multiple services and all levels of our infrastructure stack
- Ensuring reliability and uptime of the services you're responsible for
- Keeping an eye on how much your service costs every month and removing inefficiencies wherever possible
- Improving engineering standards and holding a high bar for code quality and simplicity
- Pushing the boundaries on how our customers analyze their product data
A typical project requires a thorough understanding of how not just your service works but also how it interacts with other components. Here are some projects we've worked on in the past to give you an idea of what to expect.
If projects like the ones listed above excite you, the infrastructure engineering team will be a great fit.
What we're looking for
We have openings across multiple infrastructure teams. We're looking for engineers who have:
- A strong grasp of computer science fundamentals when it comes to dealing with distributed systems and networks. You'll routinely run into issues where "one in a million" chances actually happen in production
- A knack for problem-solving and thinking from first principles. You don't shy away from any problem, no matter the scale or impact
- A bias towards shipping early and iterating. We believe in making small incremental changes to existing systems instead of large multi-quarter undertakings
- Experience building distributed systems or is eager to build that skillset
