As an organization, we approach challenges with humility, take ownership of our contributions, and embrace a growth mindset that pushes us to constantly improve ourselves, each other, and the value we bring to customers and partners.

Amplitude’s Commitment to Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI): Amplitude believes that diversity enables the creation of better products, improves the ability to solve complex problems, and drives more powerful solutions. We strive to create an environment of inclusion—one focused on psychological safety, empathy, and human connection—that will allow employees of all backgrounds to thrive.

The SDK team at Amplitude builds the next generation of SDKs that power how customers collect data, understand user behavior, and take real-time action. Our libraries help capture session replays, automatically detect performance issues, error signals, and frustration indicators, and enable key product actions like experimentation, in-app guides, and surveys.

We are responsible for core Analytics and Session Replay SDKs and the frameworks that product teams build on top of. Our team defines development standards, owns the technical architecture, and unblocks teams across Amplitude with deep platform expertise.

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our SDK team. In this role, you'll have full ownership over Amplitude’s open source React Native SDKs and contribute to other cross-platform libraries like Flutter. Our SDKs are used by thousands of developers to send hundreds of billions of events to Amplitude every month. If you care about building developer tools that are elegant, robust, and deeply useful — this is the role for you.

 

As a Senior Software Engineer, you will: 

• Lead React Native SDK Development: Design, build, and maintain our React Native SDKs with a focus on performance, scalability, and developer usability.
• Contribute Across Platforms: Support development of Flutter and potentially other mobile SDKs to maintain a consistent experience across ecosystems.
• Drive Developer Experience: Own the usability of our SDKs by designing intuitive APIs, writing clean and thorough documentation, and supporting integration flows.
• Build UI Components: Use React to build frontend components and tools that showcase SDK features or help developers test/debug integrations.
• Support SDK Integration: Partner with customers and internal teams to troubleshoot issues and guide successful integration of our SDKs.
• Automate Release Pipelines: Enhance CI/CD systems for publishing to npm and other package managers with a smooth, reliable release process.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers across Amplitude to deliver impactful SDK features.
• Champion Engineering Excellence: Lead design discussions, contribute to architecture reviews, and mentor teammates on SDK best practices.

You'll be a great addition to the team if you have:

• Passion for developer experience — you think about how your work feels to other engineers
• Interest in customer interaction, debugging tricky issues, and creating helpful documentation
• Attention to detail and commitment to high-quality, maintainable code
• A track record of shipping libraries or SDKs with elegant, intuitive APIs
• Strong understanding of software engineering fundamentals, algorithms, and system design
• Enthusiasm for working across languages and frameworks to solve cross-platform problems

At a minimum, you need to have:

• B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Computer Science or another technical field
• 6+ years of experience working in a Software Engineering role
• Previous experience with React Native, Native iOS / Swift, or Native Android / Kotlin development. 

Following will be a plus:

• Previous experience in Flutter and full-stack development (Node.js, modern React frameworks) is a plus
• Technical leadership of an engineering team is a plus
