## About the role

The Customer Engineer owns the pre-sales technical journey — from discovery and technical fit assessment through competitive positioning, demo, and POC. You establish whether Mixpanel is the right technical fit before committing to a proof of concept, and when you do run one, you design it to be immediately actionable by the Delivery Engineer: focus metric defined, data validated, success criteria agreed upon.

## What they're looking for

- 2–4+ years of experience in Solutions Engineering, Sales Engineering, or a technical pre-sales role at a B2B SaaS company
- Technical foundation in data analytics, event tracking, APIs, data warehouses, or adjacent domains
- Commercial instinct — you understand that your job is to win deals and you orient your work accordingly
- Demonstrated ability to run structured POCs with defined success criteria and measurable outcomes
- Clear, compelling communication to technical and non-technical audiences
- Competitive knowledge of the analytics landscape, or the ability to build it quickly
