- This is a highly technical role with an equal focus on nurturing and strengthening a team of highly experienced engineers, providing people management, and driving projects to successful, on-time and measurable outcomes
- Lead the team, taking ideas from concept to implementation by organizing ideas from the team and other engineers (which are our customers)
- You will lead the planning, execution, and successful delivery of multiple projects up to demonstrating the outcomes
- Facilitate engineering discussions and mentor others on technical implementation, engineering best practices, and career development
- Help other engineers to grow and adopt the new tools and technologies
Our take
Amplitude provides product analytics to help companies understand user behaviour. Product, marketing, and growth teams use Amplitude to discover and share insights about user engagement, retention, and revenue.
Amplitude’s user flows reveal which actions are the most commonly taken after users sign up, and which usually precede purchases made in-app, creating paths through the app. The behaviour of individual app users can be viewed with unlimited real-time activity feeds and user timelines.
Thousands of companies use Amplitude analytics including Microsoft, Under Armour, Intuit, Twitter, Bonobos, Peloton, and many more. In 2024, a securities fraud case was filed against Amplitude due to an IPO and stock share rise that was alleged to be artificially inflated before their downturn in 2022. Whilst this case is ongoing, Amplitude is still releasing new products and operating at full capacity.
