Hi HN,
Mixpanel today is a real-time analytics platform that can do extremely complex data analysis for businesses on the web. Our vision is to help the world learn from its data.
Here's where we're at:
- We're not huge. We're 5 full-time engineers with interns. You don't need to carry the risk of being employee #1 though.
- We mostly write Python, Javascript, and C.
- We have over 200+ servers.
- We handle thousands of requests a second which is up from 10-15 requests a second during Y Combinator
- We wrote our own database in-house that can process 300M events in real-time. Ultimately, nothing fit our needs and we're glad we built this. We have just begun to build products on top of it that push the fold of analytics.
- Our front-end team is top notch. We're building a framework to make building products on the front-end much faster. It's surprisingly more difficult than it seems.
- We care a lot about design. Not every piece of enterprise software has to be ugly.
- The market leaders: Omniture, Unica, Webtrends, and Coremetrics are stagnating under the people that bought them late last year. We really are taking their business.
- We're in San Francisco
- We pay for relocation
- We do benefits
- We pay market
- We think the next 5 engineers will truly be the core engineering team at Mixpanel.
- We're not looking to get acquired. It's go big or go home.
- We're funded by Max Levchin, Sequoia Capital, Michael Birch, and Keith Rabois
