The UI Foundation team owns the frontend infrastructure that every product engineer at Amplitude builds on — architecture, performance, developer experience, tooling, and build systems. We're the team that makes shipping fast, reliable frontend code possible at scale, and we're increasingly focused on how AI agents can autonomously handle engineering workflows that used to require constant human intervention.
We're looking for a Staff Software Engineer who thinks like an infrastructure engineer but has deep fluency in frontend systems. You'll drive architectural decisions for our frontend platform, push performance and DevX forward, and lead the build-out of our "software factory" — a set of autonomous, AI-agent-driven engineering workflows that increase engineering velocity across the org.
This is a high-leverage, low-oversight role. You'll be setting technical direction for a foundational team, not just executing a roadmap someone else wrote.
The Company: Amplitude is filled with humble, life-long learners who are eager to help one another and the company succeed. Our values of growth mindset, ownership, and humility are core to the way we work: we’re tenacious in the face of challenges, we take the initiative to solve problems that drive our shared success, and we operate from a place of empathy and openness, seeking to understand many points of view.
The Product: Amplitude is a digital analytics platform—we help companies capture data they can trust, uncover clear insights about customer behavior, and take faster action. This empowers teams to build better product experiences that drive business growth. We’re super proud of what we’ve built and continue to expand: a platform that empowers companies to thrive in the digital era.
