Who you are

You show deep technical judgment, expanding to the depths of your team's technology ownership. You impart this judgment on others and are sought for advice on all aspects of your team's product, process, and technology
You can guide architectural decisions on your team and across teams with an eye to high-level tradeoffs, and know when and how to explore novel approaches. You are a backstop for oncall issues on your team
9+ years industry experience working in SaaS and distributed systems environments
Experience working with large-scale data-oriented systems on a major cloud provider
Passionate about building scalable infrastructure systems for both internal and external customers
Excited about using functional languages (like Clojure!) in a production environment - Clojure or functional language experience isn't required
You educate those outside your team on your team's technology and products. You mentor those on your team and contribute to their growth. You take opportunities to share your unique talents and interests across the whole engineering team in the form of tools, education, excellence in interviewing, onboarding, or leading various special interest groups

What the job involves

Ingest and understand large amounts of structured customer, product, and event data
Create probabilistic knowledge graphs by training ML models to unify this data across different systems
Take research algorithms and realize them in production for extremely high-scale usage
Build visual experiences and toolset to help users visualize their data, understand their customers and surface the most impactful insights
Integrate our system into the operating core of the businesses we serve
Automate the management of thousands of VMs running data processing jobs

Our take

Businesses require certain data to build customer loyalty, and Amperity is a company that aims to deliver this. Its platform combines information from multiple sources into a unified customer profile, allowing its clients to better understand and serve their customers.

Amperity concentrates on serving large customer-focused enterprises, with clients including Starbucks, Alaska Airlines and Patagonia. While there is ample competition in the sector, Amperity is seen as an established market player in an industry worth more than $4.5 billion.

Following a $100 million funding round back in 2021, Amperity hit unicorn status and set it sights on international expansion. It has since expanded its team globally and opened new offices (although it did undertake layoffs when the economy was bad), and continues to launch new features to enhance the value of its offering.
