As an organization, we deliver for our customers by living our values. We operate from a place of humility, take ownership of problems and successes, approach challenges with a growth mindset, and put our customers at the center of everything we do.
Amplitude’s Commitment to Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI): Amplitude believes that diversity enables the creation of better products, improves the ability to solve complex problems, and drives more powerful solutions. We strive to create an environment of inclusion—one focused on psychological safety, empathy, and human connection—that will allow employees of all backgrounds to thrive.
About The Role & Team
The Data Warehouse team builds the systems that connect Amplitude to the broader data ecosystem — import connectors that bring data in from external platforms (Snowflake, Azure Blob Storage, S3, Databricks, and more), and export infrastructure that pushes data back out to the tools customers already use. We also own the configuration layer that manages the lifecycle of those connections and credentials.
As a Software Engineer II on the Data Warehouse team, youll help build and scale the systems that power these integrations. Youll tackle real infrastructure challenges — extreme throughput, millisecond-level latency, close-to-zero downtime — and collaborate closely with Product, Design, and customers to shape what we build next.
Our stack includes Java, Kafka, Temporal, DynamoDB, Amazon S3, GCS, Snowflake, Kubernetes, and Terraform. Youll bring your ideas to a group of curious, driven engineers who care deeply about the craft.
