About the Team

• Product engineering teams at Mixpanel work very closely with Product Managers and Designers in autonomous pods working on strategic goals.
• Teams have access to all the information that’s needed to make good decisions - customer support tickets, feature requests, business health data, design docs, and so on.
• We start from customer problems, think from the basics and always challenge the status quo. We like to come up with simple solutions for complex problems. We don’t like over-engineering.
• The responsibility of execution, quality control and operations all lies with the engineering team, we don’t have project managers, quality engineers or site reliability engineers.
• We prefer docs, Mixpanel dashboards and demos over slide decks.
• We use Slack, Github, Mixpanel, Notion, Figma and Zoom to share our ideas and communicate (in the open, as much as possible).
• Our engineers, designers and product managers work from various cities across North America with clusters in San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle and Austin.
