About the role and Team

At Amplitude, millions of developers instrument their products to understand how users behave. The first code they write with Amplitude is almost always through an SDK. That means our SDKs are not just integrations, they are the developer experience of Amplitude itself. We're building a new kind of SDK team:

Create a culture where people love the work, move fast, and deliver real outcomes.

You Might Be a Great Fit If:

Experience building SDKs, APIs, or developer platforms.
Bachelors Degree in Computer Science or relevant field.
Open source library maintainership
Experience across multiple language ecosystems
Interest in developer experience and tooling
Experience building platform tooling or code generation systems
