About Mixpanel:

At Mixpanel, our mission is to increase the rate of innovation. Not only as a company, but for the businesses we serve. Through our analytics platform, companies can analyze how and why their users engage, convert, and retain in real time across web, mobile, and smart devices. Then they can use that data to improve their business and products.

Mixpanel serves over 26,000 companies from different industries around the world, including Samsung, Twitter, and BMW. Headquartered in San Francisco, Mixpanel has offices in New York, Seattle, Austin, London, Barcelona, Paris, Amsterdam and Singapore.

Site Reliability Engineering at Mixpanel is a team of hybrid software/systems engineers targeting large-scale advances in operational efficiency and maturity, reliability, automation, and a deeper understanding of the dependencies inherent in our infrastructure. With numerous large clusters in multiple regions across the planet, and with 50 Billion data points flowing in every month, the goal of SRE is to enable continuous growth while decreasing operational overhead and increasing performance, all while maintaining our high levels of reliability and data resilience.

About the role:

If you’re the kind of person who flourishes with the challenge of writing automation, debugging errant services, going deep into the Linux kernel, end-to-end performance tuning, all while serving hundreds of thousands of events every second of every day, we’d love to get to know you.

• Use your experience as a coder to build tools, services, automation.
• Take charge of performance and reliability measurement, and drive improvements based on data.
• Run critical operational portions of our ingestion, analytics, storage, and serving infrastructure.
• Use your knowledge of open source tools and available services to maintain the highest-levels of uptime across our myriad services, and building the portions that don’t yet exist.
• Own configuration management, monitoring, alerting, data resilience, and critical measurement infrastructure.
• Manage our fleet of clusters, distributed globally.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Solid experience with Linux (we run Ubuntu).
• Solid coding experience, and a passion for solving hard problems through automation and resilient software.
• A hunger for solving not just the symptoms, but the root cause of any issues that arise.
• Industry experience in running a multi-node environment is useful (minimum 2 years is mandatory), but your attitude and proven abilities are more important.

Culture Values:

• Be Open: When knowledge becomes open, we can come together as a team to collaborate around a shared purpose.
• Customer Focus: Our customers’ success is our success. 
• Lead Change: Everyone at Mixpanel has the capacity to make an impact on the business.
• Results Oriented: Driving results in a measurable way ensures we stay focused on the highest impact initiatives.
• One Team: We can’t win without each other.
