Responsibilities

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Staff AI Engineer to lead the development of internal AI tools that transform how product development happens at Amplitude. Product teams—engineers, designers, and product managers—spend significant time on fragmented, manual tasks like synthesizing feedback, drafting PRDs, and validating impact. This role exists to embed AI directly into those workflows: automating the repetitive, amplifying human judgment, and helping Amplitude operate as an AI-native company.
You’ll be both a visionary and a builder—identifying what’s possible before it’s asked for, while also delivering practical, high-leverage tools. You’ll improve foundational workflows across teams while contributing to the long-term strategy and infrastructure behind Amplitude’s AI systems.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Ship impactful AI tooling that streamlines and improves product development workflows—helping engineers, designers, and PMs move faster and smarter
  • Identify high-leverage opportunities by deeply understanding internal pain points and designing solutions that embed AI seamlessly into day-to-day work
  • Build foundational infrastructure for internal AI tools—scalable, privacy-aware systems integrated with platforms like Salesforce, Jira, Zoom, Productboard, and Slack
  • Establish reusable patterns and components to enable other teams to extend and build on top of your work, fostering a culture of bottom-up AI tooling
  • Drive adoption and continuous improvement through close collaboration, iteration, and a focus on real usage
  • Partner with the product-facing AI team to share internal learnings and contribute to our broader AI platform and strategy
