About The Role & Team
The Data Warehouse team is responsible for developing features to allow users to integrate disparate data sources with Amplitude seamlessly to turn data into powerful product intelligence. We created a data platform that allows customers to easily bring data from numerous data sources into Amplitude, and enhance the value of the data by powering more workflows outside of Amplitude as well. We are building the next generation analytics experience where users can instantly get product insights out of their data in warehouses without any data ingested. Today, the team still works like a small startup with a fast-paced, collaborative, and adaptive working environment.
In this role, you will solve hardcore Infrastructure challenges like designing for extreme throughput, designing/optimizing systems with millisecond latencies, and building resilient systems to achieve close to zero downtime.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will:
- Take product ideas from ideation to implementation
- Develop backend services that integrate with various data warehouses and cloud services
- Optimize the performance and scale our data import/export infrastructure to serve ever-increasing volume
- Collaborate with Product and Design to iterate on our product
- Participate in design and code reviews
- Lead engineering discussions and mentor others on engineering best practices
- Mentor and contribute to the success of junior engineers
You'll be a great addition to the team if you have:
- B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Computer Science or another technical field
- 4+ years of experience working in a Software Engineering role
- Strong foundation in programming, algorithms, and software application design
