MixRank (YC S11) Is Hiring Software Engineers Globally
Work should be fun. At MixRank, we get to work with distributed
systems, databases, data science, and big data. No meetings, no
bureaucracy, no office, no time tracking-- just challenging
problems you can devote your full attention to. MixRank processes
petabytes of data every month from web crawling. We have hundreds
of customers using our data products including Google, Amazon,
Facebook, Intel, and Adobe, across industries including Finance,
Recruiting, Sales, Marketing, and Security. The company was founded
in 2011 and received investment from top-tier investors including Y
Combinator and Mark Cuban. We're a fully-remote company with a
global footprint in over 22 countries. We're growing, profitable,
employee-owned, no dependence on outside funding. Applicants from
all geographies and backgrounds are welcome. We are looking for
passionate individuals for whom programming is not just a job but
it's something they love to do. We're obsessed with computers,
programming, big data, databases, compilers, hardware, math, data
science, and the internet. Does this sound like you? Please apply
to join our team. Our code base is very friendly to new
contributors. You'll have a fully-automated development environment
and be pushing commits on your first day. Deployments to production
happen multiple times per day and finish in less than 2 minutes.
Our codebase is written in Python, SQL, Javascript/TypeScript,
Rust, and Nix. To start working on our codebase, you'll need to be
familiar with Python, PostgreSQL, Linux, and Git. We operate at a
larger scale than typical startups. We operate three datacenters
with high performance servers we've built that are capable of
dealing with the volumes of data we process. We've implemented our
own distributed file system. We do full-scale web crawls. We
download and perform static analysis on the entire universe of
Android APKs and iOS IPAs that are published. Unlike a typical
company where you'll spend half of your time in meetings-- at
MixRank you'll get to direct your entire focus into difficult
technical problems that will help you to grow as an individual.
We're hiring continuously for the positions below-- they aren't
singular positions that will close once filled. Our philosophy on
hiring is that the candidate is more important than the position.
For each new member of the team, we design a custom role and
responsibilities that are specialized to their interests. Other
companies will come up with a long list of specific requirements
for a position with the expectation that you'll exactly replace
someone from the team, or that you'll be the perfect tetris piece
that satisfies the job requirements decided by a committee. MixRank
is more pragmatic: we'll first get excited about having a unique
individual on the team, then we'll figure out the best way to
accommodate their specific talents. -- Junior Software Engineer
We're looking for remote junior engineers that have 0-3 years of
professional experience in software, and 5+ years of curiosity
exploring computers, programming, and technical hobby projects.
This is an open-ended entry role with mentorship and diverse
opportunities to work on all areas of our product: databases,
distributed systems, infrastructure and tooling, data analysis,
machine learning, frontend/backend web development, APIs, data
mining, data modeling, and more. To stand out, please highlight
what makes you unique: passion for computing, curiosity and side
projects, work ethic, niche research, etc. Ideally you've already
finished with school, but if you still have one or more years left
please feel free to apply anyway. If you're the right fit for the
team we'll figure out a way to accommodate your schedule. --
Software Engineer We're hiring generalist software engineers to
work on web applications, data mining, machine learning/data
science, data transformation/ETL, data modeling, database scaling,
infrastructure, devops, and more. We'll customize the role to
whatever subset of these areas match your interests. Beneficial
experience includes PostgreSQL, Python, Linux, TypeScript, Rust,
Nix, frontend/backend web development, and data mining. -- Please

Applicant from all geographies are welcome, especially Americas,
Europe, Asia, and Africa. We especially encourage ex-founders in
software engineering, sales, marketing, customer success, design,
and product to reach out. If you don't see a relevant position
open, reach out to jobs at mixrank.com. We care more about the
person than the job position, and we're happy to craft the perfect
position for anyone that joins our team.
