What the job involves
- We're looking for a Software Engineer to join our SDK team
- In this role, you'll have full ownership over Amplitude’s open source React Native SDKs and contribute to other cross-platform libraries like Flutter

- Lead React Native SDK Development: Design, build, and maintain our React Native SDKs with a focus on performance, scalability, and developer usability
- Contribute Across Platforms: Support development of Flutter and potentially other mobile SDKs to maintain a consistent experience across ecosystems
- Drive Developer Experience: Own the usability of our SDKs by designing intuitive APIs, writing clean and thorough documentation, and supporting integration flows
- Build UI Components: Use React to build frontend components and tools that showcase SDK features or help developers test/debug integrations
- Support SDK Integration: Partner with customers and internal teams to troubleshoot issues and guide successful integration of our SDKs
- Automate Release Pipelines: Enhance CI/CD systems for publishing to npm and other package managers with a smooth, reliable release process
- Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers across Amplitude to deliver impactful SDK features
- Champion Engineering Excellence: Lead design discussions, contribute to architecture reviews, and mentor teammates on SDK best practices
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.
