About The Role

Data governance is one of the most critical challenges for Mixpanels 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 youll work across the stack to build high-impact features with extreme customer focus. Youll 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.
