About the role

Amplitude's Cloud Platform team builds the systems that every Amplitude engineer relies on every day to ship code — and we're rebuilding them for the AI era. As a Senior Platform Engineer, you'll own medium-to-high-complexity platform projects end-to-end and help shape a platform where AI agents are first-class users alongside humans: kicking off deploys, opening pull requests against infrastructure, and triaging incidents, so a single engineer can get the throughput of a team.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering, DevOps, or Site Reliability Engineering, with serious hands-on time in cloud infrastructure
  • Education: B.S. in Computer Science or an equivalent technical field
  • Production experience operating Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, AKS, or on-prem) and containerized applications at meaningful scale
  • Proficiency in at least one programming language (Golang or Python preferred) and IaC tooling (Terraform)
  • Working knowledge of AWS core services (EC2, EKS, IAM, VPC, ALB, S3) and networking/security fundamentals
  • Familiarity with GitOps workflows and the CNCF ecosystem (Argo, Helm, Backstage, Envoy, and friends)
