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.
