About the role

  • Ranked #1 across multiple categories in G2's Winter 2026 Report, Amplitude is the best-in-class solution for product, data, and marketing teams.
  • Our mandate: enable a highly performant, reliable, and flexible way to compute insights.
  • Those three goals are often in tension the more flexible we make the system, the harder it is to keep it fast and simple, and a lot of the interesting engineering work on this team lives in that tradeoff.

Responsibilities

  • With powerful AI Agents embedded across our platform, teams can analyze, test, and optimize user experiences faster than ever.
  • This empowers teams to build better product experiences that drive business growth.
  • Amplitude believes that diversity enables the creation of better products, improves the ability to solve complex problems, and drives more powerful solutions.
  • We strive to create an environment of inclusion-one focused on psychological safety, empathy, and human connection-that will allow employees of all backgrounds to thrive.
  • Every chart, insight, and experiment result a customer sees in Amplitude passes through the compute layer that this team owns.
  • Our team sits between Amplitude's front-end analytics products/ rest APIs/ MCPs and Nova, our proprietary analytics database, and owns the compute API that translates a user's question into a fast, correct answer.
  • Design and build core parts of the query/compute engine that powers analysis across Amplitude's product suite
  • Evolve the compute API and semantic layer that other engineering teams build features on top of, so that it can support a more generic table
  • Partner with teams across Session Replay, Experiment, CDP, Query, and frontend to understand their needs and shape the compute layer around them
  • Take ownership of projects end-to-end, from design through rollout

Requirements

  • Experience with SQL, query planning/execution, or building APIs that many other engineering teams depend on
  • Experience with large-scale event or time-series data systems

Compensation

  • $167,000 - $230,000 base salary (inclusive of bonus or commission)
