Of 6 labor certifications old enough to have been used, 2 expired without the employer filing the next step. Median time from filing to decision: 488 days.100% of their filings were for a worker who already held the job.Only certifications past the 180-day window are counted — recent ones cannot have expired yet.

About the role

  • This is a high-leverage, low-oversight role.

Responsibilities

  • Make it fast and reliable for engineers and AI agents to provision environments, build, test, debug, and validate changes, with reproducible test data and clear access controls.
  • Software factory: Find the biggest bottleneck in the engineering workflow, automate it, then move to the next one. This increasingly means building the sandboxes and tooling that let AI agents do the work directly, not just assist with it.
  • Developer experience & tooling: Own build systems, CI/CD, developer environments, and internal tooling. Drive down build/CI time, deploy risk, and feedback latency.
  • Technical leadership: Set direction and standards, turn ambiguous problems into roadmaps, and mentor senior/staff engineers through design review and pairing.
  • Hands-on experience building agentic or AI-powered engineering workflows, used responsibly with human oversight.
  • Strong judgment, clear writing, and the ability to drive alignment without formal authority.
  • Amplitude is the leading AI analytics platform, helping over 4,700 customers-including Atlassian, Burger King, NBCUniversal, and Square-build better products and digital experiences.
  • With powerful AI Agents embedded across our platform, teams can analyze, test, and optimize user experiences faster than ever.
  • As an organization, we deliver for our customers by living our values.
  • Amplitude believes that diversity enables the creation of better products, improves the ability to solve complex problems, and drives more powerful solutions.

Requirements

  • Staff-level engineering experience and impact.
  • A track record of shipping developer tooling or platform infrastructure that measurably improved velocity.

Nice to have

  • Monorepo tooling or large-scale platform migrations.
  • Agent harness infrastructure: eval frameworks, orchestration, or sandboxing for LLMs.

Compensation

  • Generous stipends to spend on what matters most to you, whether that's wellness (monthly), commuter transit/parking (monthly), learning and development (quarterly), home office equipment (annual), and much more
