- Engineering: Senior and Staff Engineers, Engineering Managers, Data Engineering Leaders, and specialized roles in ML/AI
- Product & Design: Senior/Group Product Managers and Senior Product Designers
- Strategic & Operational Advisory: Act as a high-level consultant to hiring managers, providing data-driven insights on market trends, compensation landscape, and organizational design
- Source and Strategize: Design and execute advanced, creative sourcing strategies to build diverse pipelines of highly sought-after, passive senior candidates
- Full-Cycle Management: Lead the entire recruitment process from the initial intake meeting through to complex offer negotiations and closing
- AI-Driven Efficiency: Integrate AI tools (Claude, Gemini, etc.) into your daily workflow to accelerate sourcing, communication, and process management
- Candidate Experience: Ensure an exceptional, polished experience at every stage, serving as a sophisticated ambassador for Amplitude's culture
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.
