Role
Who you are
- You’ve led technical teams shipping complex, scalable systems in production
- You have 5+ years of experience as an engineer, including people management or technical leadership
- You’re excited about infrastructure at scale—distributed systems, event pipelines, schema evolution, and data lake architectures
- You think in systems, not silos—and know how to translate technical constraints into product clarity
- You’ve coached engineers across levels, and take pride in their growth and impact
- You believe engineering managers should stay close to the code, and jump in when it makes sense
- You collaborate well with cross-functional teams and love turning customer pain into product wins
Desirable
- Experience with modern data infra (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake, Iceberg, Kafka, Parquet, Airflow, Temporal)
- Background in web application development (e.g., JavaScript, Node.js, React)
- Built or led data products used by enterprise customers or internal teams
- Worked in high-growth environments where systems (and people) had to scale fast
What the job involves
- We’re looking for an engineering leader to own and scale one of Amplitude’s most critical platform pillars: the Data Warehouse
- This team powers the systems that import, transform, and export petabytes of data—forming the backbone of our entire analytics platform
- This isn’t a maintenance gig. You’ll lead a high-impact team building the infrastructure that helps our largest customers unify their data, connect to modern data stacks, and surface insights they can trust—fast
- If you’re excited to build deep, distributed systems at scale and make data usable across an entire ecosystem, we should talk
- Own the vision, architecture, and execution for Amplitude’s Data Warehouse team
- Lead a team of infrastructure and full-stack engineers to deliver high-scale ingestion, transformation, and storage systems
- Build the frameworks and workflows that power our largest enterprise customers and data teams
- Partner closely with Product, Design, Support, and GTM teams to drive a unified roadmap grounded in customer needs
- Set a high technical bar—contribute to system design, code reviews, and architectural decisions
- Grow and mentor a world-class engineering team. Hire builders, not passengers
- Foster a strong team culture that balances curiosity, humility, and accountability
Our take
Amplitude provides product analytics to help companies understand user behaviour. Product, marketing, and growth teams use Amplitude to discover and share insights about user engagement, retention, and revenue.
Amplitude’s user flows reveal which actions are the most commonly taken after users sign up, and which usually precede purchases made in-app, creating paths through the app. The behaviour of individual app users can be viewed with unlimited real-time activity feeds and user timelines.
Thousands of companies use Amplitude analytics including Microsoft, Under Armour, Intuit, Twitter, Bonobos, Peloton, and many more. In 2024, a securities fraud case was filed against Amplitude due to an IPO and stock share rise that was alleged to be artificially inflated before their downturn in 2022. Whilst this case is ongoing, Amplitude is still releasing new products and operating at full capacity.
