Your future team

Manager

Colleagues

My favorite thing about working for Mixam are the people I have grown to know. There are some wonderful people I have worked with over the past couple years. Outside of work you can find me spending time with the people I love, and playing disc golf at the local course. I compete in tournaments on the weekends.

Evelyn R: I work in the Customer Service Team at Mixam US. My favorite thing about working at Mixam is how everyone is willing to help you with any stumbles you may encounter and work as a team to resolve problems. There are also many resources they offer to help you learn about any certain topics you may not be familiar with. Outside of work I like to sleep and not stress about work which is great because at Mixam any critical or time sensitive work can be finished as a team so it’s not a one person job.
