Because it is.</li> <li>Work shoulder-to-shoulder with PM, Design, and Tech Lead to turn raw customer pain into product breakthroughs.</li> <li>Scale systems that capture billions of user events, without melting down.</li> <li>Push the team (and yourself) to write clean, modern, scalable code, and know when to throw perfection out the window to move.</li> <li>Hire, grow, and retain A+ engineers. No passengers.</li> <li>Build a team culture where people love coming to work, and get sh*t done.</li> </ul> <h3><strong>You Might Be a Great Fit If:</strong></h3> <ul> <li>You have <strong>5+ years </strong>of engineering experience,&nbsp;including some part of that experience managing teams that ship fast and learn faster.</li> <li>Shipped complex, high-impact products in fast-moving environments.</li> <li>Strong opinions on architecture, code quality, and how to balance speed with scale.</li> <li>Mastery of a modern stack (JS/TS, Python, AWS - you get it).</li> <li>Have fully embraced AI and are regularly pushing PRs.</li> <li>A sharp product sense. You ask “why?” more than “how?”</li> <li>Experience (or strong interest) in behavioral analytics.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Bonus Points</strong></p> <ul> <li>You’ve taken 0→1 or scaled a startup product.</li> <li>You’ve led SDK teams in the past.</li> <li>You write code when it makes sense, and know when to get out of the way.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Why This Team, Why Now?</strong></p> <ul> <li>Guides &amp; Surveys is one of the fastest growing products at the company.</li> <li>The product is truly fullstack, from web/mobile SDKs to a beautiful and sophisticated UI to high volume backend services used by millions of people.&nbsp;</li> <li>You’ll have executive backing, real autonomy, and a damn good team.</li> </ul> <h3>Who We Are</h3> <p><strong>The Company: </strong>Amplitude is filled with humble, life-long learners who are eager to help one another and the company succeed.
