About the role
At Mixpanel, we believe design excellence is a competitive moat. In a world where AI makes it easier than ever to ship, we believe the quality of the experience — how it feels, how it builds trust, how it handles complexity with grace — that separates good products from great ones.
What they're looking for
- Proficiency in modern front-end frameworks: React, TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS, HTML, Next.js
- Experience with design systems. Ideally you've built or overhauled one at scale
- Strong design sensibility: you care about craft, consistency, interaction quality, and taste
- Fluency in AI-assisted workflows: canvas-to-code, code-to-canvas, AI prototyping tools, MCP integrations, and what's emerging in this space
- Experience working with tools like Figma, Storybook, VSCode, Chromatic, and GitHub
- A track record of working across design and engineering: you've done both, and you know how to collaborate across both

As a Staff Design Engineer at Mixpanel, you'll sit within the design organization and lead the transformation of our design system from a component library into something far more important: the infrastructure that powers how we design, build, and ship in an AI-native world. You'll encode our craft, standards, and vision directly into the systems, tools, and workflows that every designer, engineer, and AI agent in our org builds on.
This isn't a maintenance or systems stewardship role. It's a transformative one. You'll work at the frontier of what design...
