Role
Who you are
- Have a thorough understanding and experience with one or more JavaScript application frameworks (React/Redux, Angular, Backbone, etc.)

- We help new/returning/dormant users discover, activate their core use cases and build a habit. Deepen their engagement through discovery of relevant features and expand what they can do with Amplitude over time
- Our work ranges from iterating on our core user experience across our entire stack to improve free to paid conversion. We own the user lifecycle and drive multi-product acquisition, activation, retention, and monetization
- Lead the design and development of projects, and participate in every step of projects, from ideation and implementation, through to testing, QA, and launch
- Work across our entire stack using Typescript, React + Redux, CSS Modules, GraphQL, Node, Python, Postgres, and MySQL
- Design and implement features and improvements in all of Amplitude’s products (Analytics, Experiment, CDP) to increase retention and engagement (e.g. new user experience, onboarding, invite flows, feature adoption)
- Identify opportunities to improve Amplitude based on research, data, creativity, and user feedback
- Lead cross-functional collaboration with product and design teams to iterate on our products
- Lead engineering discussions and mentor others on engineering best practices
- Design analytics taxonomy & implement analytics tracking to enable and guide our data-driven approach
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.
