Programming 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 technical 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 Recruiting, Finance, Security, Sales, and Marketing.

Our team is 37 full-time, full-remote from 16+ 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. The basic technologies you’ll need to be productive are Python, PostgreSQL, Linux, and Git.

We operate at a larger scale than typical startups. We operate two 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 startup where you’ll spend half of your time in meetings, and the other half fixing bugs from Jira tickets— at MixRank you’ll get to direct your entire focus into difficult technical problems that will help you to grow as an individual.
