The opportunity
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 you'll do
The design system is a reliable foundation that AI tools and agents build on, not an obstacle they work around
Design and code are in sync; the gap between what's designed and what ships is closed
Designers can prototype at high fidelity without waiting on engineering
Engineers spend less time on UI polish and rework, more time on features
The Mixpanel product feels unmistakably itself: cohesive, expressive, and craft-forward — as it evolves into an AI-native experience
The org is enabled on the latest AI-assisted design and development workflows
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
- Comfortable operating with high autonomy: you set direction, influence standards, and manage complex projects without a lot of hand-holding
- + years in design engineering, UX engineering, design technology, or a related hybrid role
