Software Engineer II, Growth

About the role

The Growth organization is focused on helping users realize long-term value from Amplitude. The team plays a critical role in that journey by driving expansion within existing accounts. Many of our customers start with just a few users - often in product or data teams - and our job is to unlock value for everyone else. We build features that help new users set up, get activated, leverage AI for frictionless insights, highlight relevant parts of the product they might otherwise miss, and expand usage across teams and departments. This is especially impactful in large, complex organizations, where getting from the first few users to broad adoption is a multiplier for retention and revenue. We work across Amplitude's core product suite and integrations, partnering closely with Product, Design, and GTM to ship fast, test often, and use data to guide what we build and where we invest.
