About the role
Data governance is one of the most critical challenges for Mixpanel’s enterprise customers. As organizations scale, the number of users and events within their projects grows exponentially. The high-cardinality nature of these projects demands well-thought-out solutions that ensure data remains clean, consistent, and trustworthy.
As a Full Stack Engineer on the Data Governance team, you will work across the stack to develop high-impact features that shape the future of Mixpanel—all while maintaining extreme customer focus. You will collaborate closely with engineers across the company and partner with design, product, and go-to-market teams to build innovative solutions that transform how customers govern their data. Your contributions will unlock new data governance experiences at Mixpanel, empowering customers to analyze their data with confidence.
Responsibilities
At Mixpanel Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) work closely in pods to define the product and experiences. You'll be collaborating closely with your EPD team to create a vision for delightful and intuitive UX, then work to deliver the most impactful features for our customers. You'll be owning key pieces of the product, maintaining them, and always advocating for improvements to make the user experience even better, adding to our growing shared components library and expanding our design system. You’ll be working on our web app, which is built in Python, running Django, with an open source JavaScript framework running the front end. Everything is run on Google Cloud Platform, using Kubernetes and Docker for orchestration and containerization of our services.
A typical project requires working across our stack, creating endpoints for your feature as well as developing and deploying the UI. Here are some projects we've worked on in the past to give you an idea of what to expect.
A way for customers to share their metrics publicly, a pain point for customers who want to easily share their data on social media or with executive leadership. This feature required keeping an eye on security so unintentional data would not be leaked for customers, but would enable easier collaboration.
We rebuilt our Live View from the ground up and rebranded to Events. Our goal was to improve users’ trust and make debugging their data and query results easier. With these goals in mind, we removed a number of limitations from Live View, improved key work flows, and tightened the UX. We also drastically simplified both the back-end and front-end architecture resulting in a more performant and maintainable product. The end result is a more powerful tool for our users and a simpler codebase for our developers.
We revamped our dashboards UI to improve the workflow for creating and saving analyses that also had the nice side effect of making our data model clearer. This required us to iterate and polish while learning more about how customers used and worked around our product in their day to day. We applied these learnings to smooth our workflows even more while continuing to set the stage for more series of improvements.
We redesigned our query builder to allow users to instantly see the results of their changes on one screen. This was required balancing competing requirements of visual space for the query builder and the ability to see two things at once, resulting in a more intuitive UX.
We made segmentation faster allowing users to customize what they can compare at the query time vs deciding everything they will ever need at the time they develop your product.
What You’ll Do
- Build and ship customer-facing web application features for Data Governance and related experiences
- Collaborate with Product, Design, and GTM partners to define and deliver high-quality solutions
- Lead projects from idea through launch, including monitoring and follow-up
- Drive business impact while maintaining a healthy balance of speed and technical excellence
What We’re Looking For
- Strong full-stack engineering experience with deep expertise in one stack (React, Typescript, Python, Django)
- Proven ability to own problems end-to-end and unlock customer value
- Comfortable working across the stack — from implementing APIs to polished frontend UIs
- Focus on data and metrics to prioritize “what actually matters”
