Mixpanel's mission is to help the world learn from their data. We've made it ridiculously easy to run extremely complex queries across massive amounts of data, all in real-time - our reports are literally to-the-second.

We're currently processing over 10 billion transactions per month from gaming, mobile, social, and e-commerce companies world-wide. This volume of data, and the types of analysis we can do, give us some uniquely interesting problems to solve: scaling, data integrity, building apis, availability, and data visualization.

Our engineers

• Demonstrate world-class programming ability.
• Collaborate and discuss engineering architecture.
• Care about system reliability and code quality.
• Will dig through source code other people wrote to fix problems no matter what.
• Are 80% vim, 20% emacs.

As an engineer at Mixpanel, you'll be doing interesting work from day one.  We've got tons of problems to solve, from scaling the backend to writing intricate interfaces.
