Senior Data Scientist, AI Product Insights

As the first Data Scientist embedded in product engineering, you'll champion integrating cutting-edge data science techniques into Mixpanel's products and serve as a methodological resource for cross-functional teams tackling problems that benefit from deeper DS expertise — such as adaptive experimentation. You won't just advise on Proactive Insights; you'll be the analytical brain driving how Signals, Forecasting, Simulation, Predictions, and Cohort Detection actually work.

Your models are the reasoning layer behind an AI system that proactively tells customers what changed, why, and what to do next — and increasingly, the layer behind an agent that acts on their behalf. As more of this experience becomes agentic, rigorous causal grounding is what separates a trustworthy recommendation from a plausible-sounding one. You'll be the person who makes sure it's the former.

You'll design and validate causal inference approaches that go beyond surface-level correlation, and partner on how those outputs get translated — often via LLMs — into clear, natural-language, actionable experiences for Mixpanel's customers: you own the rigor, the system owns the explanation. You'll partner closely with strong product engineers who own the implementation — your job is to make sure the methodology is rigorous, well-documented, and grounded in real outcomes.
