- A proven ability to drive clarity in ambiguous problem spaces, align cross-functional partners, and deliver elegant solutions to technical and human problems

- Define and drive the design strategy for foundational experiences (navigation, workflows, layout, data visualization, and more) that span across the Amplitude platform
- Elevate the quality and consistency of the customer experience by scaling reusable patterns, workflows, and systems in partnership with our design systems team
- Collaborate deeply with leadership across Product, Engineering, and Research to shape product direction, resolve complexity, and influence priorities
- Drive alignment across teams through compelling storytelling, facilitation, and research synthesis that surfaces key insights and opportunities
- Mentor and guide other designers, growing craft, strategic thinking, and business influence across the org
- Some of the builders you’ll work closely with include John (Director, Product Design), Chris (VP of Product), Nirmal (Director, Engineering), and Anita (Sr. Principal Designer), and Jingshu (Principal Designer)
- And of course you'll also collaborate with an incredible team of 12+ multi-talented designers across our broader design org and many many other talented PMs and Engineers all shaping what's next in our space
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.
