• Build and improve onboarding experiences that drive down time to value, and increase activation rates for new Mixpanel users
• Participate in team on-call rotation to improve our systems and keep them healthy

• At least 2 years of full-stack software engineering experience
• Excellent debugging and technical investigation skills
• Comfort using modern AI coding tools

• Prior experience on a growth engineering team or in a growth-focused role
