Every chart, insight, and experiment result a customer sees in Amplitude passes through the compute layer our team owns. We sit between Amplitude’s product experiences, APIs, and MCPs and our analytics database, and we own the compute API that turns a user’s question into a fast, correct answer.

Our mandate: enable a highly performant, reliable, and flexible way to compute insights. Day to day, you’ll work with engineers on Data Management, marketing analytics, Session Replay, Experiment, CDP, and other product teams that build on what we ship, as well as with the Query team below us, whose engine we rely on.

This role is for an engineer who is hungry to grow quickly. You’ll own small-medium-complexity projects end to end in a system that is changing fast, and we’ll stretch you on purpose with real problems, honest feedback, and strong engineers to learn from.

WHAT YOU’LL ACHIEVE:

Make new behavioral insights easier to build. Design and ship new query capabilities, extension points, and shared libraries/services that let product teams deliver new analyses in less time.

Own the reliability of what you build. Define tests, rollout plans, and observability, know your service’s SLOs, and fix problems at the root.

Keep real customer workloads fast. Profile query paths, find bottlenecks with traces and experiments, and verify that your changes helped.

Help us change the system safely. Take part in migrations of APIs, schemas, and services, and learn how good abstractions make change cheaper.

Become a go-to person. Build real expertise in part of the system, answer teammates’ questions, and share what you learn through docs and demos.

Stay close to the customer. Understand the customer problem behind every project, measure whether your work made their experience better, and bring what you learn back to the team.

EXAMPLE PROJECTS YOU MIGHT WORK ON:

Extend the compute API so a new kind of behavioral question can be expressed.
