Starting and building the India Software Engineering Team Working with other engineers to build distributed systems that can handle data at scale Debugging production issues across multiple services and all levels of our infrastructure stack Ensuring reliability and uptime of the services you're responsible for Keeping an eye on how much your service costs every month and removing inefficiencies wherever possible Improving engineering standards and holding a high bar for code quality and simplicity Pushing the boundaries on how our customers analyze their product data

Mixpanel's infrastructure runs on Google Cloud Platform. We rely on Kubernetes and Docker for orchestration and containerization of our services. We primarily use Golang for writing services and all internal communication happens via GRPC. We use a combination of C and C++ wherever Golang doesn't meet our performance goals. Most of the systems in our stack provide at least once semantics. As a result, we risk duplicating events that flow through them. To overcome this limitation, we added support for event deduplication that can work at our scale. Typical approaches for deduplication don't perform well on large amounts of data, so we had to do something highly custom for our stack. We wrote about this on our engineering blog here. Back in 2019, we migrated our ingestion API service from Python to Golang for better performance and type safety. We had to do this while ensuring that both systems handle data the same way. Because we had to compare, both, HTTP responses and transformed payloads, nothing out of the box worked for us. This blog post talks about how we did the actual migration without any customer visible downtime. In 2021, as our traffic grew almost 100%, the cost of storing data became untenable. Our engineers worked on an incremental way to eventually realize almost $30000 in savings per month. Warehouse Connector Mirror mode solves for data immutability by overcoming historic data model limitations. Mixpanel now syncs with customer data warehouses in real time and will reflect all changes, including additions, updates, or deletions. If projects like the ones listed above excite you, the Distributed Systems engineering team will be a great fit. We're Looking For Someone Who Has A strong grasp of computer science fundamentals when it comes to dealing with distributed systems and networks. You'll routinely run into issues where "one in a million" chances actually happen in production A knack for problem-solving and thinking from first principles. You don't shy away from any problem, no matter the scale or impact A bias towards shipping early and iterating. We believe in making small incremental changes to existing systems instead of large multi-quarter undertakings Experience building distributed systems or is eager to build that skillset #LI-HybridBenefits and Perks Comprehensive Medical, Vision, and Dental Care Mental Wellness Benefit Generous Vacation Policy & Additional Company Holidays Enhanced Parental Leave Volunteer Time Off Additional US Benefits: Pre-Tax Benefits including 401(K), Wellness Benefit, Holiday Break *please note that benefits and perks for contract positions will vary* Culture Values
