About The Role & Team

The PLG + Growth Platform team is a high-impact, cross-functional team within Amplitude’s Product Adoption org. We build the systems that power how Amplitude grows — from how we launch new products to how customers discover, try, and upgrade them.

We’re not just building infrastructure for internal teams. We’re building backend systems that shape how customers experience value — systems that determine what products they can access, how trials are delivered, how usage is tracked, and how monetization flows through the platform.

This is a back-end-leaning full-stack focused role on a team that includes engineers, PMs, designers, and GTM stakeholders. We ship infrastructure that product teams across Amplitude rely on — and that customers experience directly through feature availability, entitlements, upgrades, and more.

If you’re an early-career engineer who wants to work on real systems with real business impact, this is the place to start. You’ll contribute to the core platform that drives adoption and revenue across the company — and learn how infrastructure powers growth at scale.

As an Engineer I on the Growth team, you will:

• Contribute to the backend platform using Node.js, TypeScript, and GraphQL
• Build services and APIs that power pricing, packaging, trials, entitlements, and upgrades
• Work with teammates across Engineering, Product, and Design to deliver end-to-end value
• Ship infrastructure that supports experimentation, product launches, and monetization
• Implement backend instrumentation to help us measure what’s working and iterate fast
• Own small-to-medium projects with support and mentorship
• Learn how to work in a structured, scalable codebase — and make meaningful contributions fast
• Use AI tools to boost productivity, but still understand the systems you're building

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

• Have 0–2 years of engineering experience, including internships, coursework, or personal projects
• Write backend code confidently in JavaScript or TypeScript, and are familiar with tools like Node.js, SQL, and Git
• Are comfortable working across APIs and backend services — or are excited to learn how
• Take pride in shipping reliable, maintainable code and thinking through edge cases
• Communicate clearly, ask great questions, and collaborate well with cross-functional partners
• Are curious about how infrastructure enables product growth and real customer value
• Thrive in fast-paced environments and bring a bias toward action and iteration
• Use or are interested to use AI tools like Copilot, Cursor, or ChatGPT to boost productivity while staying grounded in your own understanding
• Show strong critical thinking and a desire to keep growing, learning, and building systems that scale

Bonus points if you:

• Have built or contributed to Node.js backend systems or APIs in production
• Have experience with GraphQL or understand how to design data-fetching layers
• Are familiar with React.js and interested in working across the stack
• Have worked on or explored infrastructure for growth — like packaging, trials, or monetization
• Are comfortable thinking in systems and abstractions that serve multiple teams
• Use AI tools not just to write faster, but to reason more deeply and experiment more boldly
• Have a strong product sense and enjoy connecting technical work to business outcomes
• Are curious about how SaaS companies scale — and want to build the engine behind it
