About the DevInfra Team
The DevInfra team is Mixpanel’s platform engineering team. Our mission is to be a force multiplier for Mixpanel engineering as a whole. We achieve this by partnering with our engineering teams to build a world-class software development lifecycle together.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced engineer with a strong track record of solving tooling pain points, automating away toil, and designing systems to help teams deliver software faster, more safely, and more reliably. You possess the skills and credibility to lead our engineering team by example and are energized by mentoring and supporting your fellow engineers. Frequent forays into uncharted territory require our team to be highly adaptable and always ready to learn. We serve as trailblazers for the rest of Mixpanel engineering.
Responsibilities
We partner with a wide variety of teams to build out their software development lifecycle to be optimized for speed, safety, and reliability. We support teams writing front-end UI code as well as teams maintaining our highly stateful storage systems deep in our stack.
We support systems that ingest more than 1 trillion user-generated events every month while ensuring end-to-end latencies of under a minute. Mixpanel queries typically scan more than 1 Quadrillion events over the span of a month. More details in this blog post.
Mixpanel runs entirely on Google Cloud Platform and Google Kubernetes Engine. DevInfra is the overall admin for our cloud environment, so we wear many hats. We are responsible for things like Terraform, cost management, networking, and security best practices.
We are the overall service owner for Kubernetes. Individual teams are responsible for maintaining and monitoring their own clusters and workloads. We are responsible for setting standards for deployment, observability, and developer experience. We facilitate efforts like Kubernetes version upgrades and helping teams adopt new Google Kubernetes Engine features.
Service ownership of our observability pipelines. We have instrumented over 30 million Prometheus metrics time series and use Open Telemetry to ingest over 4 billion distributed tracing spans per month. An example: How We Migrated from StatsD to Prometheus in One Month.
We maintain our GitHub Actions based CI/CD pipelines. We maintain a robust GitHub-native delivery process that empowers teams to self-serve their needs while ensuring safety and reliability. See this blog post as an example.
We maintain our devbox system that provisions cloud development environments for individual developers.
We procure best-in-breed SaaS tooling for the rest of engineering. We own our relationship with GitHub, Honeycomb, Chronosphere, Sentry, and more.
We run the new engineer onboarding process. If you join us, your first meeting will probably be with us!
We're Looking For Someone Who Has
8+ years of coding experience.
Expert in at least one programming language ecosystem. Preferably Go, Python, or JavaScript/TypeScript.
Production experience managing Kubernetes at scale.
Production experience managing infrastructure in a major cloud provider such as Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, or Azure. Preferably Google Cloud Platform.
Proficiency with observability solutions like OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, or Distributed Tracing for application monitoring and performance analysis.
Bonus Points
You write excellent docs.
Proficient with GitHub Actions and the GitHub ecosystem.
Experience maintaining Continuous Integration jobs.
Experience building deployment pipelines. We love GitOps!
Bazel expertise.
Experience with Terraform.
Experience with cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems and knowledgeable about security best practices.
Experience implementing Internal Developer Platforms like Backstage.
Working knowledge of site reliability engineering (SRE) principles such as implementing Service Level Objectives (SLOs).
You ❤️ open source.
Compensation
The amount listed below is the total target cash compensation (TTCC) and includes base compensation and variable compensation in the form of either a company bonus or commissions. Variable compensation type is determined by your role and level. In addition to the cash compensation provided, this position is also eligible for equity consideration and other benefits including medical, vision, and dental insurance coverage. You can view our benefits offerings here. Our salary ranges are determined by role and level and are benchmarked to the SF Bay Area Technology data cut released by Radford, a global compensation database. The range displayed represents the minimum and maximum TTCC for new hire salaries for the position across all of our US locations. To stay on top of market conditions, we refresh our salary ranges twice a year so these ranges may change in the future. Within the range, individual pay is determined by experience, job-related skills, qualifications, and other factors. If you have questions about the specific range, your recruiter can share this information.
