Software Engineer, Amplitude

• If you want to work on the engine behind product-led growth, drive company-wide impact, and increase your ownership and autonomy, this role is for you
• Have 2–4 years of experience building and maintaining production backend or full-stack systems
• Are comfortable designing and implementing APIs, services, and data models
• Write clean, maintainable code in JavaScript or TypeScript and think deeply about reliability and edge cases
• Can take a loosely defined problem and drive it toward a shipped solution
• Communicate clearly across disciplines and keep stakeholders aligned as work evolves
• Enjoy thinking in systems, abstractions, and long-term maintainability
• Care about unlocking product growth, not just writing technically correct code
• Thrive in fast-moving environments and bring a bias toward iteration and ownership
• Have built GraphQL schemas or understand how to design effective data-fetching layers

Desirable

• The PLG + Growth Platform team is a high-impact, cross-functional group within Amplitude’s Product Adoption org
• We build the backend systems that power how Amplitude grows — from how new products are launched to how customers discover, try, and upgrade them
• Our work isn’t internal plumbing
• We design and maintain the infrastructure that shapes how customers experience value: what they can access, how trials are delivered, how usage is tracked, and how monetization flows through the platform
• These systems directly influence adoption, upgrade paths, and revenue
• This is a backend-leaning full-stack role on a team that collaborates closely with PM, Design, GTM, and other engineering groups
• You’ll own meaningful slices of the platform, influence architecture, and ship capabilities that other teams depend on — and that customers feel every day through entitlements, packaging, and upgrade flows
• Design and build backend services and APIs using Node.js, TypeScript, SQL, and GraphQL
• Own mid-sized projects end-to-end — from shaping requirements through launch — with guidance but not hand-holding
• Drive improvements to systems that power pricing, packaging, trials, entitlements, and monetization
• Collaborate across Engineering, Product, and Design to deliver reliable, user-impacting infrastructure
• Build instrumentation and internal tooling to help us measure what’s working and unlock faster iteration
• Improve the reliability, scalability, and clarity of our core growth systems
• Contribute to architectural discussions and help evolve the platform as our products grow
• Use AI tools to accelerate your workflow while grounding decisions in actual system understanding
• Raise the bar for code quality, testing, and long-term maintainability
