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.

About the Team Our team owns the products that help teams test, ship, and observe what they build: Experiments, Feature Flags, Session Replay, and Heatmaps. Our vision is to make Mixpanel the one place where product teams roll out a change, measure its impact, see how real users experience it, and decide what to do next, all on the same event data they already trust. These products are one of Mixpanel's most promising paths to growth. They extend Mixpanel from understanding what users do to acting on it, and they're a big part of how our customers grow with us. They also matter more in the AI era, not less. Teams are shipping faster than ever, and they need tools that tell them, just as fast, whether what they shipped is working. What we own: Experiments : Controlled experiments that run on the same behavioral data customers already analyze in Mixpanel, with results teams can trust when they decide what to ship Feature Flags : Safe, gradual rollouts targeted by real user behavior, powered by a high-throughput evaluation service that runs in the critical path of our customers' products Session Replay and Heatmaps : A view of how real people experience a product across web and mobile, so teams can see the why behind the numbers About the Role As a Senior Software Engineer on the team, you'll own the technical design and delivery of features across Experiments, Feature Flags, Session Replay, and Heatmaps. You'll work across the full stack, from React frontend experiences to Python backend services to high-throughput systems like flag evaluation and replay ingestion. You'll partner directly with Product and Design to shape where these products go next, and collaborate with teams like AI Engine and Product Platform on shared systems and the SDKs that power our products.
