About the Customer Success & Solutions Engineering Team

Mixpanel’s Customer Success & Solutions Engineering teams are analytics consultants who embed themselves within our enterprise customer teams to drive our customer’s business outcomes. We work with prospects and customers throughout the customer journey to understand what drives value and serve as the technical counterpart to our Sales organization to deliver on that value. You will partner closely with Account Executives, Account Managers, Product, Engineering, and Support to successfully roll out self-serve analytics within our customer’s organizations, help the customer manage change, execute on technical projects and services that delight our customers and ultimately drive ROI on the customer’s Mixpanel investment.

About the Role

As a Solutions Engineer you are critical in presenting the value of Mixpanel’s capabilities to a broad set of prospects. As we continue to grow our Sales organization, you'll will be collaborating with Account Executives as a trusted advisor to customers working to tie Mixpanel’s solutions to their business needs. Our SEs need to be inquisitive, nimble, able to clearly articulate the technical benefits and requirements of Mixpanel to developers and product managers, and communicate the value of our product to high-level executives.

In the first month, you will become a Mixpanel expert on both features and functionality as well as implementation.  You will be given the opportunity to shadow customer calls and demos with current Solution Engineers and Account Executives while learning how to articulate our value proposition.

Within the first three months, you will be directly involved in deal cycles with Account Executives. You will be leading the technical qualification for customer’s use cases as well as delivering customized demos for prospects. You will work directly with leadership at the prospect’s organization to understand business challenges that can be solved through an analytics platform and consult on how Mixpanel can solve those challenges and achieve a strong ROI. You will work with the prospect’s business and technical team to scope and execute proof of concept projects to establish Mixpanel’s value, including consulting on data ingestion methods, overall architecture, success criteria, and how to roll out an analytics tool throughout an organization.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
