Mixpanel: We're hiring and here's where we're at.
on Sept 14, 2011 | hide
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 6 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. This 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, we found that nothing fit our needs and were glad to have built this. We have just started 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 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 (2nd & Howard)

- We have a beautiful office: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4037/4426180253_21043a8ab9_b.jpg

- We pay for relocation

- We can transfer H1Bs

- We do benefits

- We pay market

- Meaningful equity

- 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

Sincerely,

Suhail (suhail@mixpanel.com), Founder
