About The Role & Team

We're looking for an engineer to work within our SDK engineering team, which is an integral piece of our Amplitude ecosystem. You will have full ownership of our open source data collection libraries and plugins. These products are used by thousands of customers to send hundreds of billions of events to Amplitude each month. If you're passionate about building software that wows other developers and changes the way they think about analytics.

As a Staff Software Engineer, you will:

  • Join a team building a brand new Amplitude product and lead the design and development of its features for the Android platform.
  • Lead design, development, and support of Amplitude's other Android products, including the Analytics SDK for Android.
  • Reduce friction in the data setup experience all the way from SDK integration to building the first chart within Amplitude.
  • As one of the team's polyglots, write and test code in multiple programming languages, often on the same day.
  • Provide technical customer support to engineers deploying our analytics SDKs in their applications.
  • Write developer documentation published in READMEs and our technical docs site.
  • Extend CI/CD to automate the build process, testing, and deployment of SDKs to their respective package managers.
  • Lead cross-functional collaboration with product and design teams to iterate on our products.
  • Lead engineering discussions and mentor others on engineering best practices.

You'll be a great addition to the team if you have:

  • Experience building SDKs or libraries for mobile platforms (especially Android).
  • Familiarity with building apps for iOS and Android using Swift, Kotlin, React Native or Flutter.
  • Experience working full-stack is a big plus.
  • Attention to detail and obsession over fit-and-finish and design perfection.
  • Experience shipping libraries with elegant APIs used broadly within your company or externally as OSS.
