About Mixpanel Mixpanel is the leading product intelligence and analytics platform, trusted by more than 29,000 companies to help understand how people use the products they build. By combining powerful analytics with AI that knows your business, Mixpanel helps teams see what’s working, diagnose what’s not, and decide what to build next. Learn more at mixpanel.com . About the Team The Proactive Insights team is a newly formed team at the center of Mixpanel's AI-first analytics vision. With a greenfield charter, we're building the intelligent layer that transforms Mixpanel from a tool you query into a partner that works for you. We answer the question every data-driven team asks: "What changed, why, and what should I do about it?" We proactively keep users informed about what matters in their data, delivering the right insights and recommendations at the right time, to the right places, both inside and outside of Mixpanel. Some examples of what we are building: Signals : Statistical analysis that automatically identifies which user behaviors cause downstream business outcomes — such as which actions genuinely improve 30-day retention — using causal inference to move beyond correlation Forecasting : Time-series modeling that projects whether a KPI (e.g. Signups) will hit its goal by end of quarter — including trend decomposition, seasonality adjustment, and confidence bands against a target. Simulation : Causal impact modeling that estimates how moving one metric (e.g. weekly sharing rate) by a given amount will ripple through to downstream KPIs like retention or revenue — giving teams a quantified basis for prioritization Cohort Detection : Automated identification of at-risk user cohorts by finding active users who resemble known churned segments across both behavioral patterns and descriptive characteristics, before they churn. Offline batch survival analysis models that estimate each user's probability of a future outcome (e.g. likelihood to churn or convert within 30 days). About the Role As the first Data Scientist embedded in product engineering, you'll champion integrating cutting-edge data science techniques into Mixpanel's products and serve as a methodological resource for cross-functional teams tackling problems that benefit from deeper DS expertise — such as adaptive experimentation. You won't just advise on Proactive Insights; you'll be the analytical brain driving how Signals, Forecasting, Simulation, Predictions, and Cohort Detection actually work. Your models are the reasoning layer behind an AI system that proactively tells customers what changed, why, and what to do next — and increasingly, the layer behind an agent that acts on their behalf. As more of this experience becomes agentic, rigorous causal grounding is what separates a trustworthy recommendation from a plausible-sounding one. You'll be the person who makes sure it's the former. You'll design and validate causal inference approaches that go beyond surface-level correlation, and partner on how those outputs get translated — often via LLMs — into clear, natural-language, actionable experiences for Mixpanel's customers: you own the rigor, the system owns the explanation. You'll partner closely with strong product engineers who own the implementation — your job is to make sure the methodology is rigorous, well-documented, and grounded in real outcomes. You'll also collaborate cross-functionally with teams like AI platform, analysis, and data infrastructure to scale your analytic solutions beyond what you could build alone. This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role on a small, fast-moving team. You'll have significant influence over the analytical direction of a new product category at Mixpanel that helps thousands of companies understand what truly drives their most important metrics. Responsibilities Own the end-to-end analytical design for Signals, Forecasting, Simulation, and Cohort Detection — including methodology selection, statistical validation, and iteration based on results Assess data quality and trust prerequisites before extending forecasting or predictive features to customers — a model is only as trustworthy as the data feeding it Design and apply causal inference methods to move beyond correlation and establish which user behaviors genuinely drive downstream business outcomes Build and own time-series forecasting models that project KPI trajectories against goals — extending our existing use of TimesFM into customer-facing forecasting features Build survival analysis and retention models that underpin Signals and Simulation outputs Develop clustering and behavioral similarity approaches for Cohort Detection that are both statistically sound and interpretable to end users Document methodology clearly — including assumptions, validation approaches, and expected output behavior — so engineers can implement reliably without ambiguity Review and validate that production results match expected statistical behavior, partnering with engineers on edge cases and anomalies Establish rigor around statistical significance, multiple testing correction, and uncertainty quantification so customers can trust what they see Work cross-functionally with internal stakeholders, including Finance and Data Science, to ensure analytical outputs are grounded in real business outcomes Communicate findings and methodology clearly to Product and Engineering — translating statistical concepts into plain language We're Looking For Someone Who Has MS or PhD in Statistics, Economics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field — or equivalent industry experience with demonstrated causal inference expertise 5+ years of experience applying statistical modeling to real-world product or business problems Hands-on causal inference experience — propensity score matching, regression discontinuity, difference-in-differences, or instrumental variables — with the judgment to choose the right method for a given problem Experience with survival analysis or retention modeling (e.g. Cox proportional hazards, Kaplan-Meier) Strong Python fluency across the analytical stack — statsmodels , scikit-learn , pandas , and equivalent libraries for survival analysis, clustering, and time-series modeling Experience with time-series forecasting methods — classical approaches (ARIMA, exponential smoothing) and/or modern foundation models such as TimesFM, Chronos, or similar Experience with clustering and similarity methods applied to behavioral or user data Strong statistical communication — you can explain a propensity score or a survival curve to a PM without losing them SQL fluency for data access, exploration, and validation Comfort working in a product environment where analytical rigor and practical delivery go hand in hand Bonus Points For Experience working with large-scale behavioral event data (product analytics, growth, or similar domains) Familiarity with feature engineering from raw event streams Experience with structural equation modeling or causal DAGs for multi-metric impact modeling (directly applicable to Simulation) Familiarity with how offline batch analyses are productionized, even if you're not implementing them yourself Comfort working directly in a production codebase alongside engineers Experience at an analytics, observability, or growth platform Experience evaluating or grounding LLM-generated explanations or recommendations against statistical outputs (e.g. hallucination or consistency checks on AI-generated insights) Comfort using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) to accelerate modeling iteration Compensation The amount listed below is the total target cash compensation (TTCC) and includes base compensation and variable compensation in the form of either a company bonus or commissions.

About The Role 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. Curious what this looks like in practice? Read why data governance matters for AI-powered analytics on our blog.

We build powerful AI-powered product analytics while obsessing over clarity, simplicity, and delight. Engineers here own problems end to end. You can move across the stack to ship impact without being blocked by silos or heavy process. Product innovation drives our business, and product engineering teams own that responsibility. Our OLAP engine queries over 500 trillion events; a typical blob storage system we interact with processes 300 PiB/month at 1.2 Tbps sustained, and we run many of them across the world. The Data Runtime team owns the data execution layer that powers every Mixpanel product. We ensure that every customer query runs fast, cheap, and reliably, at any scale. This is an exciting time to join. Mixpanel's agentic and AI-first products are driving rapid growth in query volume, and Data Runtime is making the big bets that power it. We’re investing in elastic query compute and a distributed file cache that will let us scale query workloads dramatically without scaling cost with them. We sit at the center of the data platform, interfacing daily with Query Serving, Streaming, Core Analysis, Data Foundation, Product, and other teams across the company. The team combines deep expertise in high-scale distributed systems and backend engineering. It's a senior-heavy team, including Staff-level engineers with years of context in the engine internals, which means you'll be surrounded by people you can learn from and grow with. About The Role As a Software Engineer III (L3) on Data Runtime, you'll design and build the systems that execute every query at Mixpanel. You'll contribute to the technical design for complex distributed-systems projects, from prototype to global rollout, on initiatives like elastic query compute, the distributed file cache, columnar storage internals, and compaction. You'll work alongside some of the most senior engineers at Mixpanel, partner with peer infrastructure teams (Query Serving, Streaming, Data Foundation) and product teams (Core Analysis, AI-powered experiences) on shared architecture, and have real influence over the technical direction of the compute layer that Mixpanel's AI-first future runs on. We're Looking For Someone Who Has Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, a related field, or equivalent practical experience. 3+ years of professional software engineering experience building and operating data infra/backend systems, with a track record of shipping quality work quickly. A solid foundation in distributed systems or data infrastructure, and the drive to go deep. Experience owning a project or significant component end to end: driving the design, building it, shipping it, and running it in production. Strong technical communication, especially in writing, e.g., design docs, code review, async discussion across a distributed team. Sound judgment in technical tradeoffs, informed by real lessons from operating systems in production. High ownership and accountability. A desire to be at the forefront of the infrastructure powering AI-first analytics at thousands of companies. Technical Skills We Value Languages: Go, C/C++, Python, and SQL. Distributed systems: sharding/partitioning, replication, distributed scheduling, work fanout/merge, consistent hashing. Storage & query engines: columnar formats (Arrow/Parquet or in-house equivalents), indexing, and compression. Caching: distributed file/block caches, admission and eviction policies, tiered storage. Performance engineering: profiling (pprof, perf), concurrency, memory management, benchmarking. Cloud & infra: GCP (GCS, GKE, Spanner) or equivalent AWS/Azure, Kubernetes. Reliability: observability (metrics, tracing, logging), SLOs, incident management. AI-augmented engineering: LLM tooling to accelerate development, triage, and operations. How We Work Teams operate as autonomous pods, with engineering, product, and design working side by side on clear strategic goals. Teams have direct access to customer feedback, product usage data, business metrics, and design context. We start with customer problems. We reason from first principles. We challenge assumptions. We aim for simple solutions to complex problems and avoid unnecessary abstraction. Engineering owns execution, quality, and operations. There are no project managers, QA teams, or separate SREs. Ownership stays with the people building the product. We value written thinking, dashboards, and demos over slide decks. We work openly using tools like Slack, GitHub, Mixpanel, Notion, Figma, and Zoom — and we lean heavily on AI-assisted development (Claude Code and beyond). Our team is distributed across North America, with strong clusters in the San Francisco Bay Area and New York.
