## About the role

Data governance is one of the most critical challenges for Mixpanel's enterprise customers, and the AI era turns it into a foundational problem. Analytics and agents are only as trustworthy as the data beneath them. Poor data quality compounds: incorrect analyses spread as it becomes easier for anyone — or any agent — to query data, and the problem multiplies as customers scale into projects with high-cardinality events and fast-growing user bases.

## What they're looking for

- Full-stack experience, with deep expertise in at least one of:
- High-volume APIs
- Search indexing
- A track record of leading projects end to end, not just executing tickets
- Comfort moving across the stack
