About The Role & Team

​​We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the team responsible for making it astonishingly easy for developers to send analytics data to a variety of Amplitude products. The team owns Amplitude SDKs and developer toolkits used to capture high-quality data to power existing products like Analytics and brand new products like Session Replay. The ideal candidate should be excited about mentoring engineers, leading technical design discussions, being hands-on with the code, and building the best possible developer experience for Amplitude customers.

• Lead the design, development and delivery of Amplitude’s SDK portfolio and a set of developer tools for a variety of platforms and runtimes.
• Lead the design, development, and delivery of a V1 product launch slated for 2024: Session Replay.

• Contribute to the team’s codebase and challenge decisions related to API design and developer delight, as well as technical direction and operational processes.
• Ensure high technical standards around quality and product performance by instituting good processes and building a culture of engineering excellence.
• Clearly communicate and collaborate across teams on technical topics and provide timely and accurate information on project schedules and dependencies.
• Build and execute on a technology roadmap that supports and complements the short and long range product development roadmaps.

You'll be a great addition to the team if you have:

• 5+ years of engineering experience building full-stack customer-facing (and ideally developer-facing) applications in a fast paced environment.
• 2+ years of engineering management experience.
• Experience working with a wide range of platforms and runtimes, not necessarily in production, including web, mobile, and server.
• Experience building internal or external-facing shared libraries, frameworks, or tools aimed at developers is a huge plus!
• Passion for developers and building software that delights them and inspires them.
• BS (or higher) in Computer Science, or a related field.
