Description
MixRank (YC S11) is a fully remote, profitable, employee-owned data startup processing petabytes of data via web crawling. Hundreds of customers use its data products across industries such as finance, recruiting, sales, marketing, and security. The company runs at large scale (two datacenters), performs full-scale web crawls, and downloads and runs static analysis on Android APKs and iOS IPAs. Deployments happen multiple times per day and finish in under two minutes. It is hiring remote engineers and designs custom roles based on candidate interests rather than expecting an exact replacement. The codebase is primarily written in Python, Rust, SQL, JavaScript/TypeScript, and Nix. Core technologies include Python, PostgreSQL, Linux, and Git. Two entry paths are described: (1) Junior Software Engineer (0–3 years professional experience; open-ended entry role with mentorship) and (2) Software Engineer generalist roles covering web applications, data mining, machine learning/data science, data transformation/ETL, data modeling, database scaling, infrastructure, and DevOps.
