About The Role & Team

Our platform team is responsible for building and maintaining the build, deployment and other productivity tools for other engineers in Amplitude. We are approaching this goal like a normal software development with other engineers as our customers. Our main focus in last year was building a new CI/CD pipeline using Argo toolset while this year’s focus will be building a development and debugging environment for our engineers.

This is a highly technical role with an equal focus on nurturing and strengthening a team of highly experienced engineers, providing people management, and driving projects to successful, on-time and measurable outcomes.

As the manager for the Analytics Foundation Engineering team, you will: 

• Lead the team, taking ideas from concept to implementation by organizing ideas from the team and other engineers (which are our customers).

• You will lead the planning, execution, and successful delivery of multiple projects up to demonstrating the outcomes.

• Facilitate engineering discussions and mentor others on technical implementation, engineering best practices, and career development.

• Help other engineers to grow and adopt the new tools and technologies.

Youll be a great addition to the team if you:

• Have exceptional communication skills and a track record of successful delivery/execution.

• Believe it’s important for engineering managers to stay close to technical problems and continue to contribute independently, as time allows.

• Have worked in an engineering management or technical leadership role before. Experience hiring, mentoring, coaching, and retaining engineers at all levels.

• Having a strong technical background in some tools like Kubernetes and Argo toolset is a must.

• Consistently make culture choices that positively impact the broader engineering team.
