About the job
Amplitude is seeking a Staff Software Engineer for their DevX team, focusing on enhancing engineering velocity by building automated workflows and developer tooling. This hybrid role, based in Vancouver, Canada, involves setting the architecture for the developer platform and leading the "software factory" initiative to streamline code shipping processes. The engineer will own projects from conception to production, driving technical direction for a foundational team with a high-leverage, low-oversight approach. The role emphasizes accelerating development, testing, and cloud deployment for the entire engineering team.

- Set technical direction and standards for the team, transforming ambiguous problems into actionable roadmaps.
- Mentor senior and staff engineers through design reviews and pairing.
Requirements
- Staff-level engineering experience and demonstrated impact.
- Full-stack experience with a strong backend and systems focus.
- Experience migrating a team's development workflow to the cloud (VMs, remote environments, preview branches, sandboxes).
- Proven track record of shipping developer tooling or platform infrastructure that improved velocity.
- Hands-on experience building agentic or AI-powered engineering workflows with human oversight.
- Strong judgment, clear written communication, and the ability to drive alignment without formal authority.
