Mixpanel is profitable, with thousands of customers and millions in monthly revenue.
ENGINEERING CULTURE
Our engineering culture:
* We do very thorough, line-by-line code reviews using GitHub pull requests. This keeps our code quality high and helps us learn.
* We try to have two people work together on every project (collaborating, not pairing). It's more fun and it results in better code.
* We practice rapid iteration. If it's better than live, we ship. We also build things so they can go live (whitelisted) long before launch day.
* We write tests for things that are mission-critical, prone to failure, or cause paranoia. Think billing and datastore code, not Django views.
* We care about learning. Right now we're reading through Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment.
* We currently have 9 vim users, 2 IntelliJ, and 1 emacs holdout.
ENGINEERING POSITIONS
We have two types of engineering positions available - systems and product. Both of these positions require you to be able to work in San Francisco, CA.
Systems engineers build and scale our infrastructure, and write mostly C, C++, and Python. We are working on a number of new products right now with serious infrastructure challenges and we need more people with great depth to help us solve them. This position requires at least 4 years of experience.
Responsibilities of this role include:
* Working on our custom datastore (written from the ground up in C)
* Scaling the data processing pipeline (currently handling > 50K requests per second)
* Building notification delivery infrastructure (currently sending > 100M emails & push notifications per month)
* General improvements to performance, reliability, and security
* Work with the rest of the engineering team to design, build, deploy, and maintain systems
