Over 9,000 paid customers, including companies like Netflix, Pinterest, Sweetgreen, and Samsara, use Mixpanel to understand their customers and measure progress. Our commitment is to provide the most comprehensive and reliable analytics platform accessible and trusted by all.

About the Role

Mixpanel’s mobile SDKs power event tracking and rich analytics across thousands of mobile applications. Our SDKs are critical to enabling cross-platform behavioral analytics. We’re expanding our small but mighty mobile team to build the next generation of our SDK offerings, starting with Session Replay on mobile.

We’re looking for a talented Android engineer (with bonus points for cross-platform experience) who’s passionate about building robust, high-performance libraries used by thousands of developers and millions of users. This is a high-impact role where you’ll own key parts of the SDK stack and help shape the future of our mobile analytics offerings.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and build features such as Session Replay, Autocapture, and Feature Flags into SDKs for Android and other mobile platforms
  • Develop and maintain Mixpanel’s suite of mobile SDKs, ensuring quality, performance, and reliability across platforms
  • Lead technical projects end-to-end, from design through rollout and maintenance
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including Product, Design, and GTM to define and prioritize initiatives
  • Help drive the long-term strategy and roadmap for mobile analytics
  • Explore new mobile frameworks (e.g., React Native, Flutter, Unity) and extend SDK support accordingly
  • Balance technical excellence, user experience, and business impact
  • Navigate ambiguity, solve complex problems, and help shape product direction

What We’re Looking For

  • Expertise in Android development (Kotlin or Java), especially in building SDKs or developer tools
  • Experience shipping libraries or frameworks used by external developers - we love folks who think like platform engineers
  • Bonus: Experience with iOS development (Swift / Objective-C), React Native, Flutter, or Unity
  • Bonus: Contributions to open source projects or public developer communities
  • Deep knowledge of memory management, threading, and mobile system internals
  • Strong debugging skills and an appreciation for writing safe, scalable, crash-free code
  • Curiosity and initiative - you love figuring things out and diving into unfamiliar territory
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Culture Values

  • Be Open: When knowledge becomes open, we can come together as a team to collaborate around a shared purpose
  • Customer Focus: Our customers’ success is our success
  • Lead Change: Everyone at Mixpanel has the capacity to make an impact on the business
  • Results Oriented: Driving results in a measurable way ensures we stay focused on the highest impact initiatives
  • One Team: We can’t win without each other
