- First 90 days: Ramp on Amplitude's platform, complete 3+ customer-facing demos, and contribute to 2 proof-of-concepts
- First year: Influence closed-won ARR, maintain 70%+ technical win rate, and develop 2 reusable assets for the team
- Solutions Engineers are force multipliers at Amplitude. The deals you win don't just hit quota: they prove that product analytics drives measurable business outcomes for enterprises navigating digital transformation
- You'll have direct visibility into our product roadmap, executive strategy discussions, and the ability to shape how we compete in the Toronto market
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. The case has since been resolved, and Amplitude continues to release new products and operate at full capacity.
