Amplitude is looking to solve the problem of outdated software user interfaces by building an AI-powered personal chaperone for users, embedded into websites and apps, that personalizes responses, provides guided navigation, and can perform actions via APIs.
Requirements
- Experience building full-stack features and applications
- Experience with relevant technologies (We use Python on the backend and React for the frontend*)*
- Familiarity with LLMs/AI - either from work or your own exploration
- You’ve been part of a small startup or skunkworks team and thrived in uncertainty
- You’ve built agents using frameworks like Pydantic AI
- You’ve worked deeply with TypeScript
- You’ve worked with applications built on Temporal
Responsibilities
- Owning the product: Our team is hyper-focused on building a great product - this includes using the product, listening to customer feedback, and surfacing ideas for where we can improve. There’s no engineering vs. product fences here - everyone is a product owner.
- Shipping features: Own full-stack features end-to-end: from ideation to design to implementation.
- Exploring the frontier: AI is constantly evolving - you’ll be testing out new models, techniques and libraries to chart the path forward.
- Pair with our AI Engineering Lead to debug why an agent gave out a bad answer — and design a clever retrieval fix that solves the edge case.
- Build a pipeline that automatically spots blind spots in a knowledge base and automatically fills in the missing piece.
- Experiment with new frontier models and libraries, then present back to the team on what’s hype vs. what we should ship next.
- Jump into a customer debug session with a PM, see how an agent failed in the wild, and ship a fix that same day.
Other
- Strong product intuition - proactively identify improvements without being asked
- Comfort with moving fast and making smart tradeoffs
- Stellar ownership of features and code quality
- We keep it light: We build cool stuff and have fun while we’re doing it. You’re someone who enjoys working with other curious people.
- 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.
