About the job
Set technical direction for Amplitude’s developer platform and build cloud-first workflows and automation that help engineers and AI agents develop, test, and ship software faster.
What you'll do
- Unify and scale local, remote, and ephemeral development environments across a polyglot codebase, with reproducible test data and clear access controls.
- Lead software factory initiatives by identifying engineering workflow bottlenecks and building automation, sandboxes, and tooling to address them.
- Own build systems, CI/CD, developer environments, and internal tooling; set technical standards and mentor senior and staff engineers.
What they ask for
- Staff-level engineering experience and impact.
- Full-stack skills leaning toward backend and systems engineering.
- Experience moving a team's development workflow into the cloud, such as VMs, remote environments, preview branches, or sandboxes.
- Track record shipping developer tooling or platform infrastructure that measurably improved velocity; hands-on experience building agentic or AI-powered engineering workflows with human oversight.
Nice to have
- Monorepo tooling or large-scale platform migrations.
- Agent harness infrastructure, such as eval frameworks, orchestration, or sandboxing for LLMs.
Tools
CI/CD, VMs, LLMs
