About the Team
- Product engineering teams at Mixpanel work very closely with Product Managers and Designers in autonomous pods working on strategic goals.
- Teams have access to all the information that’s needed to make good decisions - customer support tickets, feature requests, business health data, design docs, and so on.
- We start from customer problems, think from the basics and always challenge the status quo. We like to come up with simple solutions for complex problems. We don’t like over-engineering.
- The responsibility of execution, quality control and operations all lies with the engineering team, we don’t have project managers, quality engineers or site reliability engineers.
- We prefer docs, Mixpanel dashboards and demos over slide decks.
- We use Slack, Github, Mixpanel, Notion, Figma and Zoom to share our ideas and communicate (in the open, as much as possible).
- Our engineers, designers and product managers work from various cities across North America with clusters in San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle and Austin.
About the Role
Our mission is to help the world learn from its data. While that’s a bold mission, we are tackling problems one step at a time with a very clear focus on Product Analytics.Innovating on user experiences and product capabilities is critical for the growth of our business, and the responsibility of that lies primarily with the product engineering teams.We have multiple openings for managers and we’d be happy to share more details about the specific teams when you chat with us.
